尽管对新医生临床科学家的需求从未如此之大，但重大障碍阻碍了年轻医生从事临床研究职业。地方和联邦项目试图激发年轻医生、医学生甚至本科生对临床研究的兴趣，但很少有正式项目专门关注激发住院医生对培训的兴趣。最近实施的严格的工作时间规定为住院医生提供了更多的时间来专注于职业选择，这也为培训项目在住院医生期间提供新的教育举措创造了机会。作者介绍了人类调查工具（THI），这是住院医师实习第二年提供的为期两周的轮换。 THI 的目标是提供基于研讨会的研究方法，传授批判性评估科学文献所需的工具，并提供一个用于职业讨论的小组论坛。这三个目标是通过利用一组研究人员主持将教学与职业发展指导相结合的课程来实现的。像 THI 这样的课程是一种在住院医师实习期间激发对人类研究兴趣的创新方式，有助于弥合医学院期间推动的研究探索与奖学金的严格期望之间的不连续性。
Although the need for new physician-clinical scientists has never been greater, significant obstacles deter young physicians from careers in clinical research. Local and federal programs have sought to stimulate interest in clinical research among young physicians, medical students, and even undergraduates, but few formal programs have specifically focused on stimulating interest among residents in training. The recent implementation of strict duty hours regulations has provided residents with additional time to focus on career choices, and this has created an opportunity for training programs to offer new educational initiatives during residency. The authors present Tools of Human Investigation (THI), a two-week rotation offered during the second year of residency. The goals of THI are to provide seminar-based exposure to research methodologies, to impart the tools required to critically appraise the scientific literature, and to provide a small-group forum for career discussions. These three goals are achieved by drawing on a group of research faculty to lead sessions that combine didactics with career development guidance. A course like THI is one innovative way to stimulate interest in human research during residency that could help bridge the discontinuity between the research explorations promoted during medical school and the rigorous expectations of fellowship.
