Abstract

Objectives: The aim of the present study was to quantify research outputs after completing a Coursework Pathway (CP).

Methods: Emergency medicine trainees who completed a CP during 2012-2022 were included. Research outputs were identified using Medline, EMBASE, Pubmed and Google Scholar.

Results: Among 545 eligible candidates, 129 (23.7%) published at least one manuscript, with 319 publications over the study period. There was a significant increase in publications since course completion (IRR 1.13; 95%CI: 1.09-1.18).

Conclusions: A substantial proportion of trainees who completed the CP published subsequent research. This provides a measure for emergency clinicians undertaking research projects after completing the CP.
