Project Summay/Abstract The main goal of the Specialized Training in Anesthesiology Team Science (STAT) Program is to develop competent investigative anesthesiologists in broad areas of research including basic, clinical/translational, and outcomes research. This novel training plan allows for the creation of an interdisciplinary team of mentors to form innovative research projects using a collaborative team science approach. Our program structure ensures that each STAT trainee will have a unique individualized training plan that will assist them into entry-level, full- time, academic faculty positions in Anesthesiology. A mentorship team will be created for each STAT trainee which includes both extramurally funded biomedical researchers and leaders with Anesthesiology to help guide their career development. A total of 32 participating faculty mentors representing 17 departments are categorized into the 3 main areas of research: basic science, clinical/translational, and outcomes. STAT trainees will be exposed to interdisciplinary research and undergo formalized training in grant/manuscript writing, biostatistics, rigor, and responsibility in research, and cover ethical topics in research. The STAT track allows for a research- intensive experience during their clinical training which includes research elective time followed by 24 months of NIH-supported research following the completion of their residency. Our goal is to recruit, develop, and retain motivated individuals from a diverse background that will broaden the scope of research in Anesthesiology. The proposed training plan aims to continue the strong tradition of developing physician-scientists within the Department of Anesthesiology at MCW while branching out into various disciplines to perform cutting-edge research. Individuals who complete the STAT program will be well positioned to succeed in the academic environment, make impactful discoveries, and become future leaders in our field.
