Abstract

Academic productivity is an increasingly important asset for trainees pursuing academic careers. Medical schools and graduate medical education programs offer structured À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ programs, but providing longitudinal and individualized health services À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ education remains challenging. Whereas in basic science À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ, members at multiple training levels support each other within a dedicated community (the laboratory), health services À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ projects frequently occur within individual faculty-trainee relationships. An optimal match of expertise, availability, and interest may be elusive for an individual mentor-mentee pair. We aimed to share our experience building Surgeons Writing about Trauma (SWAT), a trainee-led À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ community that propels academic productivity by facilitating peer collaboration and opportunities to transition into independent À¶Ý®ÊÓƵers. We highlight challenges of health services À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ for trainees, present how structured mentorship and a peer community can address this challenge, and detail SWAT's operational structure to guide replication at peer institutions.
