“…For physician-scientists, rising demands in the clinical and research domains complicate efforts to excel. The time from when the first RPG is awarded to scientific independence has lengthened ( 10 , 11 , 32 ). High productivity demands during prime child-rearing years disproportionately impact women in the pipeline.…”

Inclusion in the Pulmonary, Critical Care, and Sleep Medicine Physician-Scientist Workforce. Building with Intention

2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Physician-scientists comprise an exceedingly small fraction of the physician workforce. As the fields of pulmonary, critical care, and sleep medicine continue to invest in the development of the physician-scientist workforce, recruitment and retention strategies need to consider the temporal trend in the decline in numbers of trainees pursuing basic research, the challenges of trainees from underrepresented groups in medicine, and opportunities for career and scientific advancement of women physician-scientists. In this perspective article, we examine the headwinds in the training and education of physician-scientists and highlight potential solutions to reverse these trends.

NIGMS has responded by explicitly stating MSTP programs must embrace a diversity of scientific approaches and graduate studies [6].…”
