Project Summary Physician-scientists are uniquely positioned to conduct innovative medical research along the entire continuum of basic, clinical, patient-oriented, and population-based sciences. Although currently preserved from extinction, the physician-scientist remains threatened today, in part, due to obstacles that exist along the physician-scientist career pathway. Among these obstacles are the long training period, personal debt, limited research funding, lack of mentoring, and the uncertainty of a successful career. With such a broad scope of potential career tracks available, it is crucial to have career development opportunities targeted specifically to this important cadre of future scientists. Prior to the Inaugural APSA Annual Meeting in April, 2005, there was no authoritative avenue for American physician-scientists in training to obtain deep insight into the career paths that are available to them in all career sectors (NIH, industry, and academia) and in broad medical disciplines. The APSA Annual Meeting serves as an excellent opportunity for current and prospective physician-scientists in training to learn about the diverse career options available to them. This meeting is held concurrently with the Joint Meeting of the American Society for Clinical Investigation (ASCI) and the Association of American Physicians (AAP) (two of the premier organizations dedicated to the physician-scientist). Through this close collaboration, APSA members are able to interact directly with well established physician-scientists from all areas of medicine and science. This application seeks funds to provide continuity of support for the 3-day National APSA Annual Conference that brings together over 200 trainees interested in careers combining science and medicine, at the following stages of training: MD, DO, PhD, Residents / Fellows and undergraduates. The conference provides a structured environment to disseminate career advice from established physician-scientists in all career sectors, to promote the development of mentoring relationships, and to foster community building amongst physician-scientist trainees. Objectives: 1) To address career development issues for physician-scientist trainees; 2) To provide mentoring and networking opportunities for future physician-scientists, and; 3) To provide additional support for women, under-represented minorities, and non-PhD trainees who are currently in the physician-scientist career track.

项目摘要 医生科学家是独特的定位，进行创新的医学研究沿着整个连续的基础，临床，以病人为导向，以人口为基础的科学。虽然目前保存从灭绝，医生科学家仍然受到威胁的今天，部分原因是由于存在的障碍，沿沿着医生科学家的职业道路。这些障碍包括培训时间长、个人债务、研究资金有限、缺乏指导以及成功职业的不确定性。由于潜在的职业发展道路如此广泛，因此为这批重要的未来科学家提供专门针对他们的职业发展机会至关重要。在2005年4月举行的首届APSA年会之前，没有权威的途径让美国医生科学家在培训中深入了解他们在所有职业领域（NIH，工业和学术界）和广泛的医学学科中的职业道路。APSA年会为当前和未来的医学科学家提供了一个极好的机会，让他们了解他们可以选择的各种职业。本次会议与美国临床研究学会（ASCI）和美国医生协会（AAP）（两个致力于医生-科学家的主要组织）的联席会议同时举行。通过这种密切的合作，APSA成员能够直接与来自医学和科学各个领域的知名医生和科学家进行互动。该申请旨在为为期3天的全国APSA年度会议提供连续性支持，该会议汇集了200多名对科学和医学相结合的职业感兴趣的学员，培训阶段如下：MD，DO，博士，居民/研究员和本科生。会议提供了一个结构化的环境，以传播职业建议，从建立医生科学家在所有职业部门，以促进指导关系的发展，并促进社区建设之间的医生科学家学员。目的：1）解决职业发展问题的医生科学家学员; 2）为未来的医生科学家提供指导和网络机会;和; 3）为妇女，代表性不足的少数民族，和非博士生谁是目前在医生科学家的职业轨道提供额外的支持。
