Abstract	Research education in medicine has been under discussion for quite some time, both to assess the status quo and to inform efforts to improve it. A newly developed scale of self-assessed research competences, which builds on a concept of medical research competences and reflects core aspects of reform goals, was piloted in the Bavarian Medical Graduate Study (N = 570). Exploratory factor analysis indicates a unidimensional scale. Replications of results from previous studies support the scale's content validity: overall, the competence assessment is in the middle range, doctoral graduates rate themselves significantly better than graduates without doctoral degree (p = 0.047). Female medical graduates rate themselves worse than male medical graduates (p = 0.000). Furthermore, our results suggest that intrinsic motives to do a doctorate mediate the gender effect. According to our analyses, there is a need to progress the research competences of medical graduates as a whole. (HoF/text adopted).
