目的：血管外科学会（SVS）是一个非营利性医学学会，其目标是在全球范围内进一步推进血管健康。在该项目成立10周年之际，我们有兴趣分析SVS（国际学者计划）下提供的一项特定奖学金的影响。我们的目的是考察获奖者的特点和学术生产力。材料和方法：我们使用PubMed®和谷歌Scholar®（2008-2018）测量了奖学金获得者在项目前后同行评议文章的数量。社论、书籍章节、给编辑的信和口头/海报展示都被排除在外。一项调查被发出来评估获奖者的现状。结果：平均申请人数为15.4人/年（标准差±6.69），其中女性占17.5%，平均年龄为37±3.37岁，血管研究后年龄为5.6±2.30岁。巴西的受助人数最多（n = 5, 18.5%），其次是中国（n = 4, 14.8%）。在出版物方面，每个国家之间没有显著差异（P = 0.45），在SVS奖学金计划之后与之前相比也没有显著差异（P = 0.14, 1.84 vs 2.76）。调查得出结论，33%的人在项目结束后参加了随后的SVS会议，27%的人展示了他们的研究（n = 15）。受助人指出，该计划有助于采用临床管理的新做法（n = 13,87%），学习新的程序（n = 10,67%），获得当地/区域领导（n = 9,60%），并提高技术技能（n = 8,53%）。访问最多的临床地点是马萨诸塞州总医院和梅奥诊所（n = 4.27%）。该节目的评分为9.1分（满分10分）。结论：该项目成功地保持了学术生产力，即使在获得奖学金后仍继续发表研究成果，同时教给受助人进一步提高职业目标的技能。该奖项仍然是一个竞争过程，选择高技能的接受者，并且在未来十年仍然有很大的增长和进步。
Objective: The Society for Vascular Surgery (SVS) is a not-for-profit medical society, whose goal is to further advance in vascular health on a global scale. With its 10th anniversary in sight, we were interested in analyzing the impact of a specific scholarship given under the SVS, the International Scholars Program. Our goal was to examine the awardees’ characteristics and academic productivity. Materials and Methods: We measured the number of peer-reviewed articles, before and after the program, using PubMed® and Google Scholar® (2008-2018) of the scholarship recipients. Editorials, book chapters, letter to editor, and oral/poster presentations were excluded. A survey was sent out to assess the awardees’ current status. Results: The average number of applicants/year was 15.4 (standard deviation ± 6.69), with 17.5% females and a mean age of 37 ± 3.37 years, with 5.6 ± 2.30 years status post vascular fellowship. Brazil had the highest number of recipients (n = 5; 18.5%) followed by China (n = 4; 14.8%). No significant difference was noted between each country in terms of publications (P = .45), nor with after the SVS scholarship program compared to before (P = .14, 1.84 vs 2.76). The survey concluded 33% had attended a subsequent SVS meeting after the program, with 27% having presented their research (n = 15). The recipients noted the program helped adopt new practices in clinical management (n = 13, 87%), learn new procedures (n = 10, 67%), gain local/regional leadership (n = 9, 60%), and improve technical skills (n = 8, 53%). The most visited clinical sites were Massachusetts General Hospital and Mayo Clinic (n = 4, 27%). The program was given a 9.1/10 rating. Conclusion: The program was successful in maintaining academic productivity by continuing to publish research even after the scholarship, while teaching recipients skills to further improve their career goals. The award remains a competitive process that selects highly skilled recipients and still has much growth and progress to look forward to over the next decade.
