Fostering Research Mentorship and Training During Psychiatry Residency

描述(由申请人提供)：在过去20年中，研究精神病学家和精神病学家研究奖学金的数量显著下降(Fenton等人)。2004年，Pincus等人。2005)。为了开始解决这一差距，至关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)促进所有受训者的研究素养，(B)鼓励临床医生未来作为研究合作者参与，(C)提供有助于选择研究职业的经验，(D)通过以患者为中心的研究问题的表述来扩展临床知识，(E)吸引医学生参加精神病学培训，以及(F)保持和促进具有研究背景的住院医生的研究兴趣(IOM 2003)。为了应对内科科学家的严重短缺和国际移民组织的建议，马萨诸塞州总医院(MGH)精神病科和麦克莱恩医院的调查人员与麦克莱恩-麦克莱恩普通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了研究集中(RC)。研究中心的目标是通过促进住院医生在住院期间更多地接触研究活动和培训，为学术精神病学研究人员的职业生涯做好准备。试点研究中心已经成功地吸引和招募了有才华的精神病学家-科学家，并开发了初步的研究教育计划。在这项申请中，我们建议开发一个具有适当基础设施的协调良好的研究教育计划，将吸引临床医生-科学家投身精神病学的职业生涯，并为他们提供指导和研究经验，为他们在实习后在精神病学和神经科学领域的独立研究人员职业生涯做好准备。拟议的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规划，以及临床和研究轮换，吸引和培养优秀的住院医师，成为未来基础、翻译和以患者为中心的精神科研究人员；(2)通过成人精神病学住院医师培训计划中的RC轨道，在四年的住院医师培训过程中为研究提供专门的时间和培训；(3)增加从研究教育计划中受益的住院医生人数；(4)扩大和深化研究教育计划，为住院医师培训计划中的所有住院医生提供更大和更密集的研究素养培训；(5)为参加RC计划的住院医生设计的试点研究项目提供种子资金；以及(6)与麻省理工学院和麦克莱恩医院以及哈佛大学促进会、临床和翻译科学中心(CTSC)内的培训和培训评估计划合作，使所有住院医生都能从CTSC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.
