从美国国立卫生研究院获得资金的能力通常被认为是作为一名教师开发成功的独立研究项目的关键一步。每年约1200万美元,整形外科研究在外科专业中排名最低,就赠款资金和受资助的研究人员数量而言。[10]这是学术整形外科的一个发人深省的数据点。对于一个以创新为荣的专业来说,这种低水平的学术成就值得反思和采取行动。我们需要在住院医师招聘的层面上增加培养整形外科医生科学家的渠道,在专门的研究时间内培养学员,并建立资源,以启动他们作为教师的职业生涯。虽然我们有客座教授讲授临床主题,但我们很少有声音促进学术整形手术。如果没有榜样,激励措施的协调和严格的培训,整形外科医生科学家将继续受到侵蚀,吹嘘的三重威胁将成为独角兽。相反,我们希望这篇文章将激励我们的机构和国家社会领导人组织跨外科学科,与美国国立卫生研究院合作,并制定具体计划,重新启动整形外科医生科学家的劳动力,因为最终,需要外科科学来推进患者护理,外科医生科学家是促进这些进步的桥梁建设者。
The ability to secure funding from the National Institutes of Health is often considered a key step to developing a successful independent research program as a faculty member. At approximately $12 million per year, plastic surgery research ranks the lowest among surgical specialties, in terms of grant funding dollars and the number of funded investigators. 10 This is a sobering data point for academic plastic surgery. For a specialty that prides itself on innovation, this low level of academic success warrants introspection and action. We need to augment the pipeline of developing plastic surgeon-scientists at the level of residency recruitment, nurture trainees during dedicated research time, and build resources to launch their careers as faculty members. Although we have visiting professors that lecture about clinical topics, we have few voices promoting academic plastic surgery. Without role models, alignment of incentives, and rigorous training, plastic surgeon-scientists will continue to be eroded and the vaunted triple-threat will become a unicorn. Instead, we hope this article will galvanize our institution and national society leaders to organize across surgical disciplines, partner with the National Institutes of Health, and develop specific plans to reboot the plastic surgeon-scientist workforce, because at the end, surgical science is needed to advance patient care, and surgeon-scientists are the bridge builder to catalyze these advances.
