N1 - Funding Information:
The Scholarly Year is a chance for students to pursue full-time scholarly projects or a second advanced degree. Scholarly projects are carried out within programs sponsored by national foundations such as the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Sarnoff Foundation, or Doris Duke Charitable Foundation; at the CDC, as part of the CDC Experience; at the NIH, as part of the Medical Research Scholars Program; at a global health site, as a Fulbright-Fogarty Fellowships in Public Health Scholar; or overseen by an individual faculty mentor at Mount Sinai or another academic institution. Mount Sinai has been the site of a Doris Duke Clinical Research Training Program since 2002. The Doris Duke program, with its strongly mentored research projects and didactic curriculum, has served as a model for the development of our other scholarly programs. The number of students electing a Scholarly Year has been steadily rising, from 5 in 1997 to 38 in 2011–2012 (Fig. 2).

Acknowledgments The authors gratefully acknowledge the support of medical student research programs offered by the Medical Student Research Office from the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation, The Mount Sinai Alumni, and grant #UL1RR029887 funded by the National Center for Research Resources’ Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA).

N2 - Medical student education continues to evolve, with an increasing emphasis on evidence-based decision making in clinical settings. Many schools are introducing scholarly programs to their curriculum in order to foster the development of critical thinking and analytic skills, encourage self-directed learning, and develop more individualized learning experiences. In addition, participation in rigorous scholarly projects teaches students that clinical care and research should inform each other, with the goal of providing more benefit to patients and society. Physician-scientists, and physicians who have a better appreciation of science, have the potential to be leaders in the field who will deliver outstanding clinical care, contribute new knowledge, and educate their patients.
