Abstrakt:	Problem: For research in medicine to address needed interventions and produce outcomes relevant to patient care, it is important for physicians to gain hands-on experience in scientific methods during their training. However, the results of recent studies in the United States and Canada indicate low interest in research among residents. Approach: In 2011, involvement in a scholarly activity was made mandatory for all residents joining the Western University psychiatry residency program (WUPRP). A faculty member was appointed as a research coordinator who collaborated with research-intensive faculty members and prepared a list of potential projects suitable for resident involvement; organized monthly research meetings to support residents in initiating scholarly activities, monitor their progress, and address challenges; and developed competency-based research objectives, guidelines, and assessment tool. Outcomes: Data on all residents enrolled at WUPRP from 2011 to 2017 (the latter graduated in 2022 with completed scholarly requirements) were analyzed with respect to residents' participation in a scholarly project. A total of 54 residents were enrolled during this period. Fifty-two (96%) residents were involved in a scholarly project; of these 52, 38 (73%) completed their project. Of these 38, 32 (84%) had academic achievements, which include poster and oral presentations at a conference, publications, and prizes and awards. Of the 52 residents involved in a scholarly project, 14 (27%) residents could not complete their projects, though they still met scholarly activity requirements and 1 (2%) enrolled in the Western University Clinician Investigator Program with the goal of pursuing research as a career. Next Steps: There is a lack of data on how many WUPRP graduates from 2011 to 2017 are currently pursuing careers in research. The authors plan to perform longer and closer follow-up of residents to evaluate whether a scholarly curriculum makes an impact on residents' career choices.
