博士后培训使研究独立和专业准备。国家报告强调职业发展是这一培训期的一个关键组成部分。作为回应，许多机构正在为博士后建立可转移的技能培训研讨会;然而，缺乏结构化的计划和缺乏参与者满意度调查之外的评估结果的方法是博士后培训的关键差距。为了解决这些缺点，我们采取了结构化编程的方法，并开发了一种控制评估结果的方法。我们的项目You 3（你，你的团队，你的项目），由博士后研究员共同设计，专注于以结构化的方式讨论与最终职业道路无关的特定管理和领导技能。然后，我们以受控的方式测量结果，通过系统地比较感知知识和增长作为参与者与非参与者的意识和信心的指标作为对照组。与非参与者相比，You 3参与者自评目标能力的增长更大，与培训年数无关。这一增长是通过包括自我报告和关联分析在内的多个标准来显示的。相应地，与对照组相比，You 3参与者在75%的模块中报告了更多的知识。这些数据表明，结构化学习，其中博士后承诺通过队列结构的课程，导致积极的成果，并提供了一个框架的方案，以严格的方式评估成果。
Postdoctoral training enables research independence and professional readiness. National reports have emphasized professional development as a critical component of this training period. In response, many institutions are establishing transferable skills training workshops for postdocs; however, the lack of structured programs and an absence of methods to assess outcomes beyond participant satisfaction surveys are critical gaps in postdoctoral training. To address these shortcomings, we took the approach of structured programming and developed a method for controlled assessment of outcomes. Our program You3 (You, Your Team, Your Project), co-designed by postdoctoral fellows, focused on discussing specific management and leadership skills agnostic of ultimate career path(s) in a structured manner. We then measured outcomes in a controlled manner, by systematically comparing perceived knowledge and growth as indicators of awareness and confidence in participants against that of non-participants as the control group. You3 participants self-rated greater growth in targeted competencies compared to non-participants independent of the number of years of training. This growth was shown by multiple criteria including self-reporting and associative analysis. Correspondingly, You3 participants reported greater knowledge in 75% of the modules when compared to controls. These data indicate that structured learning, where postdocs commit to a curriculum via a cohort-structure, leads to positive outcomes and provides a framework for programs to assess outcomes in a rigorous manner.
