As an industry, marketing research has enjoyed decades of systemic growth. Unfortunately, dissatisfaction with the return on marketing research investments has also been consistently voiced. Part of this complaint may be due to the inadequate way marketing research is being taught. In this article, we review what practitioner–academic gaps have been found in the literature and also present the results of a survey among alumni of a US university. We identify several key gaps including (1) understanding of business issues, (2) ability to define a marketing research problem, (3) ability to design marketing research, (4) ability to analyze data, (5) ability to interpret the results, (6) ability to translate results into actions, (7) ability to effectively interact with clients, and (8) expertise on specific research studies such as customer satisfaction research, branding, and new product development research.

Abstract Introduction The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education stipulates that residents should participate in scholarly activity. As of 2019 that verbiage will be changed to, “Residents must participate in scholarship.” However, scholarly activity is not clearly defined. We set out to define our graduation research requirement in a measurable way and structure a research curriculum that better prepared residents to conduct scholarly activity. Materials and Methods This study compares resident scholarly output in several categories before and after the initiation of a revised research curriculum and graduation requirement. Scholarly activity was measured by comparing the production of Pubmed Indexed (PMID) publications, online publications, and conference presentations of two Emergency Medicine Residency classes. The intervention class was represented by the class of 2018 which exposed 16 residents to the new curriculum and graduation requirement for the full three years of their residency. The comparison class was represented by the class of 2015 which exposed 16 residents to the old curriculum and old graduation requirement. The old graduation requirement and curriculum were undefined. The new requirement involved two options, participate in original research starting from the process of question formulation and carried through manuscript drafting or publishing at first author PMID of any kind. The new curriculum involved monthly journal clubs, two annual deep dives, and an 8-day Intern Research Course modeled after the Emergency Medicine Basic Research Skills workshop sponsored by the American College of Emergency Physicians. In addition to the new curriculum, several new leadership positions were created at both the staff and resident level that solely focused on the promotion of scholarly activity. In addition to creating a culture within the department that encouraged scholarship, these overlapping leadership positions also helped create continuity in a program that could easily be hampered by frequent staff turnover due to new military assignments and military deployments. Results Resident scholarly activity in the form of PMIDs increased from 4 to 22. The production of online publications was 0 and 12, respectively. There were 2 and 11 conference presentations, respectively. Conclusion Resident scholarly activity increased following the institution of a new research curriculum and graduation requirement.

Background The American Council of Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) guidelines for scholarly activities by family medicine residents require at least one activity per resident and encourage conference presentations. Meeting these guidelines has traditionally been challenging due to a multitude of factors from lack of time to limited administrative support. Studies have shown that resident participation in research was associated with higher levels of satisfaction with training. We aimed to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of a dedicated research curriculum in achieving ACGME goals for our residents. Methods We performed a need assessment that identified strengths and obstacles related to research which then guided the actions taken to build the curriculum. Revised curricular elements included a research focused lecture series, a restructured journal club, financial support for presentations and project expenses, a specific timeline for project completion, and the development of a regional research day involving multiple family medicine programs. Dedicated research time was built into the resident schedule and presentations at local, regional and national conferences were encouraged and supported. Results Following implementation of the curriculum there was a marked increase in the number of scholarly projects performed by residents. Prior to implementation there had only been one presentation at a national conference in the previous five years. This increased to an average of four presentations per year in the following five year period. On a regional scale, the initial success of the local research day led to a continued expansion and now includes six family medicine programs. Conclusion Implementation of a dedicated multifaceted research curriculum significantly increased the participation of our residents in scholarly activities and led to a near five-fold increase in presentations at regional and national levels. Additionally, resident satisfaction in scholarly activities increased and a far greater number of graduating residents went on to complete fellowships.

Complexity science is in the forefront of contemporary scientific development; its rise and development triggered the breakthrough and innovation of methodology in scientific research. Curriculum is a complex adaptive system. Complexity curriculum research also includes nonlinearity, uncertainty, self-organization and emergent properties.
