Researchers at Boston-based Massachusetts General Hospital surveyed 51 medical students, residents and fellows about their involvement in innovation, what barriers they perceived in pursuing innovation and what tools they needed to develop their ideas. The survey found the following:
- Thirty-one percent of respondents considered themselves as innovators, while others said they were not or weren’t sure.
- Forty-three percent identified lack of time and energy as a source of lack of innovation.
- Thirty-five percent said lack of resources contributed to lack of innovation.
- Thirty-one percent said they didn’t have the expertise to initiate innovative ideas.
According to the survey, medical trainees interested in medical innovation lack the skills and resources to pursue such ventures.
