“…For example, Oregon Health & Science University’s (OHSU) dermatology training program has begun to address this concern through their “Translational Topics in Dermatology” project. 4 Once a month, an OHSU dermatology resident and a basic science trainee present a joint seminar on a topic of their choice, exploring fundamental clinical and scientific concepts. This has inspired the Skin Investigation Network of Canada (SkIN Canada) 5 to develop their own program jointly focused on trainee education across basic, translational and clinical research programs.…”

Background For dermatology to effectively address the ever-growing medical needs, longstanding communication barriers across investigators working in different research pillars and practicing clinicians must be improved. To address this problem, trainee-specific programs are now evolving to align their educational landscape across basic science, translational and clinical research programs. Objectives To establish a Skin Investigation Network of Canada (SkIN Canada) training roadmap for the career and skill development of future clinicians, clinican scientists and basic scientists in Canada. This Working Group aims to strengthen and harmonize collaborations and capacity across the skin research community. Methods The Working Group conducted a search of established international academic societies which offered trainee programs with mandates similar to SkIN Canada. Societies’ program items and meetings were evaluated by use of an interview survey and/or the collection of publicly available data. Program logistics, objectives and feedback were assessed for commonalities and factors reported or determined to improve trainee experience. Results Through the various factors explored, the Working Group discovered the need for increasing program accessibility, creating opportunities for soft skill development, emphasizing the importance of current challenges, collecting and responding to feedback, and improving knowledge sharing to bridge pillars of skin research. Conclusions Although improvements have been made to trainee education in recent years, a plurality of approaches exist and many of the underlying roadblocks remain unresolved. To establish fundamental clinician-basic scientist collaboration and training efforts, this Working Group highlights important factors to include and consider in building a trainee program and emphasizes the importance of trainee education.
