摘要：Background and Objectives: Scholarship is recognized as a challenge in many family medicine residency programs. Among evaluations of scholarship curricula, few describe resident experiences of such interventions. To bridge this gap in knowledge, we measured resident confidence, satisfaction, and participation before and after implementing a new scholarship curriculum. Methods: The redesigned curriculum included a structured project timeline, resident research in progress meetings, faculty mentorship, scholarly skills workshops, and mentored journal clubs. We conducted a curriculum evaluation via surveys of residents prior to implementation and after years 1 and 2, measuring satisfaction with the scholarly environment and opportunities, and confidence and participation in specific scholarly activities using Likert scales from 1 (least confidence) to 5. Results: Compared to baseline (n=28), after 2 years (n=27) of the curriculum, residents reported increased mean confidence in critical appraisal of scientific articles (2.6±1.1 to 3.3±0.7, P =.007), carrying out a scholarly project (2.5±0.8 to 3.4±1.0, P =.005), and writing an abstract (3.0±0.8 to 3.8±0.7, P =.002). As compared to the first year, more residents in the second year participated in quality improvement projects (7.1% vs 29.6%, P =.031) and wrote conference abstracts (10.7% vs 37.0%, P =.022). Over the same period, those very satisfied with the scholarly environment increased from 0 (0%) to 8 (29.6%, P =.017). The June 2020 survey identified increased interest in scholarship because of the antiracism movement (51.9%) and COVID-19 pandemic (40.7%). Conclusions: Implementation of a redesigned scholarship curriculum was associated with increases in family medicine resident scholarship confidence and satisfaction.
