Description
Bosworth and eight co-authors surveyed trainees in primary care research about the obstacles in their path, in this 2026 study. Primary care research is growing, and its trainees are the field's future workforce. Their frustrations, if unaddressed, become everyone's shortage later.
The online survey drew sixty-nine usable responses, mostly medical students and residents, spread across the United States, the Netherlands, Canada, and Uganda. The team paired statistics with themes drawn from open-ended comments. Trainees described familiar strains: scarce mentorship, funding uncertainty, and the difficulty of building a research career inside busy clinical training. The paper's title states its hope, that naming problems precisely is how a field turns them into progress. For program directors, the findings list where support would count most for keeping young researchers in primary care.
