UW Psychiatry Resident Research Education Program

 描述(由申请人提供)：精神病学的实践正日益成为一门以证据为基础的科学，它建立在我们对精神疾病生物学基础的不断发展的理解基础上，同时建立了提供高质量护理的有效手段。住院精神病学家在他们的培训中学习最佳实践，但未来接受过培训以领导心理健康研究项目的医生管道处于危险之中。多重障碍干扰了精神病学家选择成为 一名研究人员，包括招聘、留住、晋升和财务反激励。我们打算通过R25支持的精神病学住院研究计划(PRRP)来解决华盛顿大学的这些障碍。我们的建议是每年招募四名住院医生加入我们的研究轨道。PRRP将强调我们系内的三个优秀领域：神经科学、卫生服务和成瘾精神病学，但参与的住院医生也可以继续从更广泛的导师中选择他们的研究经验。我们将在已经成功的现有组成部分的基础上建立这个计划，包括我们的神经科学研究轨道和我们的精神病学-初级保健T32计划。PRRP将由内部组织委员会监督，并由外部咨询委员会指导。我们为成功做好了充分的准备，因为我们的起点是基于充满活力、多样化和高度竞争的常驻项目，该项目具有强大的领导力和机构承诺。尽管我们已经有七名住院医生活跃在研究之路上，但PRRP将使我们能够吸引更多以研究为导向的住院医生来我们的住院医生。PRRP参与者将在他们的第一次或 第二年，每年将逐步延长研究时间；典型的参与者将有80%的研究时间，为期16个月，以灵活的方式安排，以满足他们的研究培训需求。A课程将满足个人的需要，包括小组辅导、高级课程作业、赠款写作课程、负责任地进行研究的结构化教育、研究研讨会和会议，以及来自指导委员会的科学和职业指导。我们将强调通过鼓励参与者申请我们现有的NIH T32助学金和VA研究奖学金的职位，申请机构KL2奖和NIH K08奖，以及获得PHS贷款奖，来创造从住院医生到教师的平稳过渡。我们将通过接触来自代表性不足群体的医学生和那些对研究有明确承诺的人来扩大我们的申请者池。该计划的成功将通过每年完全填满PRRP课程，吸引不同的参与者群体，提高成功过渡到团契和职业发展经验的比率，并最终启动更多的精神病学家进入研究职业生涯来展示。其他好处包括对我们整个住院医生的学术文化的积极影响，以及影响以研究为导向的医学生成为精神病学家。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The practice of psychiatry is increasingly becoming an evidence-based science that is built upon our evolving understanding of the biological underpinnings of mental illness accompanied by the establishment of effective means of delivering high quality care. Resident psychiatrists learn best practices during their training, bu the pipeline of physicians trained to lead mental health research programs in the future is in jeopardy. Multiple barriers interfere with the likelihood that a psychiatrist will choose to become a researcher including recruitment, retention, advancement, and financial counter-incentives. We intend to address these barriers at the University of Washington with an R25-supported Psychiatry Resident Research Program (PRRP). Our proposal is to recruit four residents into our research track every year. The PRRP will emphasize three areas of excellence within our Department: Neuroscience, Health Services, and Addiction Psychiatry, but participating residents may also continue to choose from among a wider range of mentors for their research experience. We will build this program based on already successful existing components including our Neuroscience Research Track and our Psychiatry-Primary Care T32 Program. The PRRP will be overseen by an internal organizing committee and will be guided by an external advisory committee. We are well positioned for success because our starting point is based on a vibrant, diverse, and highly competitive residency program that has strong leadership and institutional commitment. Even though we already have seven residents active in the Research Pathway, the PRRP will allow us to attract more research-oriented residents to our residency. PRRP participants will begin the process of selecting a mentor during their first or second year and will gradually expand research time each year; the typical participant will have 80% research time available for 16 months, scheduled in a flexible manner that fits their research training needs. A The curriculum will meet the individual's needs and consist of group tutorials, advanced coursework, grant writing course, structured education in the responsible conduct of research, research seminars and conferences, and scientific and career guidance from a mentoring committee. We will emphasize creating a smooth transition from resident to faculty status by encouraging participants to apply for positions on our existing NIH T32 grants and VA research fellowships, apply for Institutional KL2 awards and NIH K08 awards, and secure PHS loan repayment awards. We will expand our applicant pool by reaching out to medical students from under- represented groups and those with a demonstrated commitment to research. Success of the program will be demonstrated by fully filling the PRRP class each year, attracting a diverse group of participants, increasing the rate of successful transition to fellowship and career development experiences, and ultimately launching more psychiatrists into research careers. Additional benefits will include the positive impact on the academic culture of our entire residency and influencing research oriented medical students to become psychiatrists.
