Fostering Research Mentorship & Training during Psychiatry Residency Supplement

项目总结： 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)。此外，未满五岁的人数 有代表性的少数群体--那些具有少数种族和民族背景的人，以及那些有残疾的人-- 致力于精神病学研究的人一直受到限制。在入学前接触研究 在认真而专注的指导下实习有助于克服这一限制。在此，我们建议 继续开展一项计划，为代表性不足的少数群体提供有支持、有指导的研究机会 在他们医学院的训练期间。这种培训(A)促进所有人的研究素养和包容性 受训人员，(B)鼓励临床医生未来作为研究合作者参与，(C)提供经验 可以促进选择研究职业，(D)通过制定患者- 以研究问题为导向，(E)吸引不同的医学生参加精神病学培训，(F)坚持 并促进有和没有调查背景的居民的研究兴趣(IOM 2003)。这个 麻省总医院(MGH)内科医生-科学家培训计划(PSTP) 精神病学和McLean医院住院医师培训计划就是为了满足这一需求而开发的，而这 行政补编直接涉及受训人员的多样性问题。PSTP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。在其联邦资助期间，PSTP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 具有适当基础设施的教育计划，吸引了临床医生和科学家投身精神病学 并为他们提供指导和研究经验，让他们为独立调查员做好准备 在实习后从事精神病学和神经科学的职业。有了这份补充，我们将扩大这一点 吸引医学专业代表不足(URM)背景的一年级医学生和 向他们介绍精神病学方面的研究培训。行政补充提案还将允许 美国将(1)培训3名URM学生临床和翻译精神病学的研究素养和方法学 通过协调的教育研讨会和实践研究指导进行研究，以及(2)包括以下3项 在我们的精神病学家-科学家实习生和导师社区中的学生扩大他们的兴趣和 了解未来精神病学培训的机会。

Project Summary: 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). Moreover, the number of under- represented minorities—those of minority racial and ethnic backgrounds, and those possessing disabilities— who dedicate themselves to psychiatric research has been limited. Exposure to research prior to entering residency with careful and dedicated mentorship can help overcome this limitation. Here we propose to continue a program to provide a supported, mentored research opportunity to under- represented minorities during their training in medical school. Such training (a) promotes research literacy and inclusivity 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 diverse medical students into psychiatry training, and (f) maintains and facilitates research interest among residents with and without investigative backgrounds (IOM 2003). The Physician-Scientist Training Program (PSTP) at the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) Department of Psychiatry and McLean Hospital within the residency training program was developed to fill this need, and this administrative supplement directly addresses the issue of diversity of trainees. The goal of the PSTP is to prepare residents for careers as investigators in academic psychiatry by facilitating greater exposure to research activities and training during residency. Through its federally funded period, the PSTP has been successful in attracting and recruiting talented psychiatrist-scientists and has developed an effective 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. With this supplement we will expand this opportunity to attract first year medical students from underrepresented in medicine (URM) backgrounds and introduce them to research training in psychiatry. The administrative supplement proposal will additionally allow us to (1) train 3 URM students in research literacy and methodology of clinical and translational psychiatric research through coordinated educational seminars and hands-on research mentorship and (2) include these 3 students in our community of psychiatrist-scientist trainees and mentors to expand their interests and understanding of the opportunities available for future training in psychiatry.
