Fostering Research Mentorship and Training During Psychiatry Residency

项目摘要/摘要 研究精神病学家的数量和研究奖学金的数量显著下降 过去二十年的精神病学家(Fenton等人2004年，Pincus等人。2005)。为了解决这一差距，至关重要的是 重要的是提供精神病学住院医师的早期研究培训。这种培训(A)促进研究 所有受训人员识字，(B)鼓励临床医生今后作为研究合作者参与，(C)提供 可促进选择研究职业的经验，(D)通过公式扩展临床知识 以病人为中心的研究问题，(E)吸引医学生参加精神病学培训，(F)坚持 并促进具有调查背景的居民的研究兴趣(IOM 2003)。作为对.的回应 这一需要，马萨诸塞州总医院(MGH)精神病科和麦克莱恩的研究人员 医院与MGH-McLean全科成人精神病学住院医师的领导合作，开发了一种 住院医师培训计划中的研究集中计划(RCP)。RCP的目标是 通过促进更多的接触，为住院医生作为学术精神病学研究者的职业生涯做好准备 实习期间的研究活动和培训。在其第一个由联邦资助的时期，RCP一直是 成功吸引和招聘有才华的精神病学家-科学家，并开发了有效的研究 教育项目。我们制定了一个协调良好的研究教育计划，与适当的 吸引临床医生和科学家投身精神病学事业并为他们提供指导的基础设施 和研究经验，为他们在精神病学和 实习后的神经科学。本次竞争性续签申请的持续具体目标是 研究教育培训计划是：(1)吸引和培养优秀的住院医生成为未来 精神病学家-基础研究、翻译研究和以患者为中心的研究人员，通过整合核心研究和 临床教学计划，以及临床和研究轮换，在四年的住院期间 培训；(2)为四年成人精神病学课程的研究提供专门的时间和培训 住院医师培训计划；(3)增加住院医师从研究性教育中受益的人数 计划；(4)拓宽和深化研究教育计划，提供更多和更密集的 在住院医师培训计划中对所有住院医师进行研究素养培训；(5)为试点提供种子资金 参加RCP的住院医师设计的研究项目；(6)与以下培训项目合作 MGH和McLean医院以及哈佛大学促进会、临床和转化科学中心 (CTSC)，使所有居民都能从CTSC的教育资源中受益。新制定的具体目标 对于此竞争性续订申请，需要(1)创建NIH K奖励拨款撰写和审查计划，以 促进加速获得国家一级的资金；以及(2)在国家一级建立五个研究培训轨道 RCP有专门的培训课程，以建立住院医师的研究技能集。

Project Summary/Abstract 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). 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 this need, 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 a Research Concentration Program (RCP) within the residency training program. The goal of the RCP is to prepare residents for careers as investigators in academic psychiatry by facilitating greater exposure to research activities and training during residency. Through its first federally funded period, the RCP has been successful in attracting and recruiting talented psychiatrist-scientists and has developed an effective research education program. We have developed a well-coordinated research education program with appropriate infrastructure that has attracted clinician-scientists to careers in psychiatry and provided them both mentorship and research experience to prepare them for an independent investigator career in psychiatry and neuroscience following residency. The ongoing specific aims of this competitive renewal application for the 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; (2) provide dedicated time and training for research over the course of the four-year 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 RCP; and (6) partner with training 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. Newly developed specific aims for this competitive renewal application are to (1) create an NIH K award grant writing and review program to facilitate an accelerated path to national level funding; and (2) create five research training tracks within the RCP with specific training curricula to build the residents' research skill set.
