医生科学家提供了一个宝贵的资源，在临床相关的基础和转化研究发现的追求。联合学位MD-PhD教育计划在美国各地的建立，有助于维持一批在临床医学和生物医学研究方面训练有素的医学专业人员。然而，从MD-PhD课程毕业后的专业发展，直到被任命为教师，在很大程度上仍然是无定形和非结构化的。为了填补医学培训的空白，促进学术医学人才的职业发展，2000年在圣路易斯的华盛顿大学医学院建立了医生科学家培训计划（PSTP）。该计划提供普通内科和医学亚专业或普通皮肤科的培训，然后进行研究培训，最终被任命为教职员工。在这篇文章中，PSTP的发展，它的结构，以及该计划的初步成果的基本原理进行了描述。
Physician scientists provide an invaluable resource in the pursuit of clinically relevant basic and translational research discoveries. The establishment of joint degree MD-PhD educational programs throughout the United States has helped to maintain a cohort of medical professionals who are well trained in both clinical medicine and biomedical research. However, professional development after graduation from a MD-PhD program until appointment as a faculty member has remained largely amorphous and unstructured. To fill this void in medical training and to promote the career development of talented individuals in academic medicine, the physician scientist training program (PSTP) was established at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis in 2000. This program provides training in general internal medicine and medical a subspecialties, or in general dermatology, followed by research training leading to an appointment as a faculty member. In this article, the rationale for the development of the PSTP, its structure, and the initial outcomes of the program are described.
