6ER-009 Scientific activity of hospital pharmacy specialists trained at Virgen del Rocío University Hospital

<h3>Background and Importance</h3> Research is essential for any healthcare professional, including specialists in hospital pharmacy. In the Resident Pharmacist Training Programme (FIR), research is a key component of the training. The Pharmacy Teaching Unit at Virgen del Rocio Hospital focuses on training its residents in excellence, research included. <h3>Aim and Objectives</h3> To analyse the impact of research training of Virgen del Rocío’s residents by studying their research along their professional career. <h3>Material and Methods</h3> Names, gender, current job position, and residency end date of all specialists formed at Virgen del Rocío Hospital from 1988 to 2022 were collected. Each individual’s research profile was searched in ORCID, Clarivate-Researcher-ID, Google Scholar, and ResearchGate repositories, using the first profile found. The total H-index, number of publications, and citations were recorded. If no research profile was found, the individual was considered to have no relevant research activity. A simple frequency analysis of these data were performed. <h3>Results</h3> Over 35 years (1988–2022), 60 professionals completed their residency in the department, and a research profile was found in at least one repository for 31 of them (52%). Among those with identified research profiles, there was a higher percentage of women (80% vs 69%) and more professionals working in public hospitals (84% vs 55%) compared to those without profiles. The distribution of research variables by 5 year periods among the 31 professionals with available profiles is detailed in table 1. <h3>Conclusion and Relevance</h3> A little over half of the specialists trained at Virgen del Rocío Hospital have relevant research activity. Among them, women and those working in public hospitals predominate. Younger generations show greater research activity, both in the number of professionals dedicated to research and in bibliometric indicators, despite having had less time to achieve them. <h3>References and/or Acknowledgements</h3> <h3>Conflict of Interest</h3> No conflict of interest
