https://academic.oup.com/neurosurgery/ad...17/5025563. Interesting article, programs at the top maybe not who'd you expect.

Top 10 programs:
1. Sidney Kimmel Medical College at Thomas Jefferson University/TJUH
2. University of Pittsburgh Medical Center Medical Education
3. St Joseph’s Hospital and Medical Center (Barrow)
4. Johns Hopkins University
5. Mayo Clinic College of Medicine and Science (Rochester)
6. University of Virginia Medical Center
7. Vanderbilt University Medical Center
8. University of California (Los Angeles) David Geffen School of Medicine/UCLA Medical Center
9. University of Toronto
10. University of California (San Francisco)

The authors divided clinical research into a 3 tier system:
Tier 1: Case reports; Case series < 10 pts; Review articles without meta-analysis
Tier 2: Case series >10pts; Reviews with meta-analyses; industry sponsored multi-center research
Tier 3: Primary research (prospective and retrospective cohort, controlled studies); Randomized trials; Non-industry multi-center research

Surprises in my opinion:
Rush is in the top 20. Always heard the real research program in Chicago was Northwestern, who is 46.

University of Florida not even in the top 60.

Unsurprising:
"Scholarly activity requirement... not shown to have a positive effect"

Bogus study, collected from "departmental websites and Scopus".  Probably a bit weighted to the programs who update their departmental websites and ensure their scopus accounts are up to date, methinks...

I think Toronto is doing pretty well too. There is another resident with Nature.

The departmental websites were used to find the resident information. The authors of the study created the bibliometric profiles using Scopus themselves.

Methods section states:
"Departmental websites were consulted for resident names and postgraduate training years. All departments were then contacted individually by telephone or email to answer questions about the residency-training environment. Any information not obtained from the websites regarding resident names and residency start dates was clarified by contacting the department. Bibliometric profiles were created for all residents using Scopus"
