Table 3 Survey recipientsā€™ suggestions for programme improvements

From: The influence of early research experience in medical school on the decision to intercalate and future career in clinical academia: a questionnaire study

Suggested Improvements

Lack of Resources

Group tutorials on research techniques would have been useful

It would be good to be able to choose what research area to work in

Make ASRS available to more students

Provide more incentives, such as local presentations

Supervisor Dependent Issues

Provide more insight into the publication process

More clinical exposure

Provide more achievable projects within the time frame

Students should have the opportunity to continue working on projects after the 8Ā weeks

Projects should involve more current research

Provide allocated desk space

Overall Programme Improvements

Have a clearer programme structure for students and supervisors

Should have an introductory meeting with other ASRS recipients and staff

Feedback session straight after ASRS from students
