SID Retreat for Future Academicians

描述（由申请人提供）：越来越多的人担心毕业的皮肤科住院医师进入学术医学的人数下降，对皮肤科医生的培训构成威胁，皮肤科医生需要治疗近三分之一的美国人口，这些人口将在某个时间点患有皮肤病。调查皮肤病学协会（SID）的成员代表了美国皮肤病学教师的显著百分比。该组织是唯一适合解决的问题给予访问教师和住院医师。SID的任务是交流和传播与皮肤病有关的科学信息。国家关节炎、肌肉骨骼和皮肤疾病研究所（NIAMS）致力于支持皮肤病研究和培训基础和临床研究人员。这两个组织在扭转这一趋势方面有着既得利益，因为它们是维持皮肤科教育工作者和研究人员队伍的主要利益相关者。为了在SID和NIAMS的任务中发挥潜在的协同作用，开发了驻地务虚会的概念。SID未来院士研修是由皮肤病研究学会（SID）为一群有兴趣从事学术事业的一年级皮肤科住院医师举办的年度会议。该项目测试了一个假设，即早期和持续接触志同道合的住院医生、研究生、博士后和经验丰富的教师，将对决定走上学术界的职业道路产生积极影响。为了实现我们的目标，我们计划扩展过去10年使用的形式，包括讨论资助写作、寻找导师、谈判工作（和保护时间）、经济学、工作与生活的平衡、发展兴趣领域、将学术与皮肤病学专业结合起来以及寻找资金。这些主题已经得到了很好的接受，但没有解决如何内科科学家与博士科学家建立合作关系，将新知识带入皮肤病学领域。我们相信，这种多学科方法是建立科学机会以改善我们的领域的一个重要方面，也是SID的核心价值。这种修改后的形式也将驻地静修定位为一个场所，帮助吸引博士社区进入皮肤生物学领域。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): There is growing concern about the declining number of graduating dermatology residents entering academic medicine, posing a threat to the training of dermatologists who are required to treat the nearly one third of the US population which will suffer from skin disease at some point in time. Members of the Society for Investigative Dermatology (SID) represent a significant percentage of U.S. dermatology faculty. The organization is uniquely suited to address the problem given the access to both faculty and resident physicians. The SID mission is to exchange and disseminate scientific information relating to skin disease. The National Institute for Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) is committed to supporting skin disease research and training basic and clinical investigators. The two organizations have a vested interest in reversing the trend as major stakeholders in maintaining a pipeline of dermatological educators and researchers. In order to leverage potential synergy in the missions of the SID and NIAMS, the concept of the Resident Retreat was developed. The SID Retreat for Future Academicians is an annual conference presented by the Society for Investigative Dermatology (SID) for a select group of first-year dermatology residents who have expressed an interest in pursuing a career in academics. The program tests the hypothesis that early and sustained exposure to like-minded residents, graduate students, post-docs and seasoned faculty will have a positive effect on a decision to follow the career path into academia. To achieve our goals, we plan to expand upon the format utilized over the past 10 years, which included discussions of grant writing, finding mentors, negotiating a job (and protected time), economics, work-life balance, developing an interest area, integrating academics into dermatologic specialties and finding funding. These themes have been very well received, but do not address how physician scientists create collaborative liaisons with PhD scientists to bring new knowledge into the field of Dermatology. We believe that this multidisciplinary approach is an important aspect of building scientific opportunity to improve our field, and is a core value of the SID. This modified format also positions the Resident Retreat as a venue to help attract the PhD community to the field of skin biology. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The Resident Retreat for Future Academicians is an annual conference specifically designed to increase the number of dermatology residents that enter academic dermatology by providing information on the benefits of the career path and eliminating some of the barriers to entry. This increase will sustain the pipeline of multidisciplinary educators and researchers in U.S. institutions necessary to find improved treatments and cures for the nearly 3,000 known skin diseases that afflict 65 million Americans.
