Description

Surgery-bound students at osteopathic schools say they want research lives, yet their output lags the wish. Skylarr Beerman and six co-authors survey that gap in 2025, in a national poll of such students. The form asks what they have done, how sure they feel at each research task, and where they aim.

Answers sort by self-rated nerve, so strong and weak spots stand out by task. The split the team hunts is drive versus means: will is high, but some skills — and some doors — are missing. Naming the exact tasks that daunt students tells schools where to teach and mentor. The goal is a class that can turn zeal into papers before the match.
