ABSTRACT
Objective:
We aimed to conduct a systematic review to identify curricular and educational interventions to build research competency among Canadian psychiatry residents and fellows transitioning to the competency-by-design framework.Methods:
The PRISMA guidelines were followed, searching five databases from their inception to February 2023 for relevant evaluation-type studies exploring research competency among psychiatry residents and fellows. We appraised thestudy's quality using the Joanna Briggs Institute's risk of bias tool for observational designs.Results:
Overall, 36 original articles met our inclusion criteria. Surveys (n = 10) showed that participation in scholarly research, quality improvement, or educational projects relevant to psychiatry is needed in most residency programs. However, these vary significantly across programs; few need direct research experience for residency completion. The interventions spanned four categories externally funded comprehensive research training programs (n = 5); resident research tracks (n = 11); workshops and seminars (n = 7); and specific modules (n = 3). Reported outcomes included overall program ratings, research output, and career trajectory. The quality of most studies was low because of the lack of controls or validated metrics for evaluating outcomes.Conclusions:
While many studies have explored best practices in research curricula, the current literature does not inform competency-based models for Canadian psychiatry residency programs incorporating research training requirements. Further description is needed from Canadian psychiatric training bodies regarding appropriate curricula, milestones, and metrics for evaluating research competencies.
