Fostering Research Mentorship and Training During Psychiatry Residency

描述（由申请人提供）：在过去二十年中，精神病研究医生和精神病研究奖学金的数量显著下降（芬顿等人，2004年; Pincus等人，2005年）。为了开始解决这一差距，提供精神病学住院医师的早期研究培训至关重要。这种培训（a）促进所有受训者的研究素养，（B）鼓励临床医生将来作为研究合作者参与，（c）提供可以促进选择研究职业的经验，（d）通过制定面向患者的研究问题来扩展临床知识，（e）吸引医学生参加精神病学培训，以及（f）保持和促进具有调查背景的居民的研究兴趣（IOM 2003）。为了应对医生-科学家的严重短缺和IOM的建议，马萨诸塞州总医院（MGH）精神科和姆克林医院的研究人员与MGH-麦克莱恩成人精神病学住院医师的领导合作，在住院医师培训计划中开发和试点研究集中（RC）。RC的目标是通过促进住院期间更多地接触研究活动和培训，为住院医师作为学术精神病学调查员的职业做好准备。试点RC成功地吸引和招募了有才华的精神病学家-科学家，并制定了初步的研究教育计划。在这项申请中，我们建议开发一个协调良好的研究教育计划，并提供适当的基础设施，以吸引临床医生科学家从事精神病学的职业，并为他们提供指导和研究经验，为他们在住院医师之后从事精神病学和神经科学的独立调查员职业做好准备。研究教育培训计划的具体目标是：（1）在四年的住院医师培训计划中，通过整合核心研究和临床教学计划，以及临床和研究轮换，吸引和培训优秀的住院医师成为未来的基础，转化和以患者为导向的研究精神科医生调查员;（2）通过成人精神病学住院医师培训计划中的RC轨道，在四年住院医师期间提供专门的研究时间和培训;（3）增加从研究教育计划中受益的住院医师人数;（4）通过为所有住院医师培训计划中的住院医师提供更大和更密集的研究素养培训来扩大和深化研究教育计划;（5）为参加RC计划的住院医师设计的试点研究项目提供种子资金;和（6）与MGH和姆克林医院以及哈佛催化剂，临床和转化科学中心（CTSC）的培训和培训评估计划合作，使所有居民都能从CTSC的教育资源中受益。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): There has been a significant decline in the number of research psychiatrists and research fellowships for psychiatrists in the past two decades (Fenton et al. 2004, Pincus et al. 2005). In order to begin to address this gap, it is critically important to provide early research training in psychiatry residency. Such training (a) promotes research literacy for all trainees, (b) encourages future participation of clinicians as research collaborators, (c) provides experience that can foster choosing a research career, (d) expands clinical knowledge through the formulation of patient-oriented research questions, (e) attracts medical students into psychiatry training, and (f) maintains and facilitates research interest among residents with investigative backgrounds (IOM 2003). In response to the critical shortage of physician-scientists and the IOM's recommendation, investigators at the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) Department of Psychiatry and McLean Hospital collaborated with the leadership of the MGH-McLean General Adult Psychiatry residency to develop and pilot a Research Concentration (RC) within the residency training program. The goal of the RC is to prepare residents for careers as investigators in academic psychiatry by facilitating greater exposure to research activities and training during residency. The pilot RC has had success in attracting and recruiting talented psychiatrist-scientists and developing an initial research education program. In this application, we propose developing a well-coordinated research education program with appropriate infrastructure that will attract clinician-scientists to careers in psychiatry and provide them both mentorship and research experience to prepare them for an independent investigator career in psychiatry and neuroscience following residency. The specific aims of the proposed research education training program are to: (1) attract and train excellent residents to become future psychiatrist-investigators in basic, translational, and patient-oriented research, by integrating core research and clinical didactic programming, as well as clinical and research rotations, during the four years of residency training program; (2) provide dedicated time and training for research over the course of the four-year residency through the RC track in the adult psychiatry residency training program; (3) increase the number of residents who benefit from the research education program; (4) broaden and deepen the research education program by providing greater and more intensive training in research literacy to all residents in the residency training program; (5) provide seed funding for pilot research projects designed by the residents enrolled in the RC program; and (6) partner with training and training evaluation programs within MGH and McLean Hospitals as well as the Harvard Catalyst, the Clinical and Translational Science Center (CTSC), so that all residents will benefit from the CTSC educational resources.
