Support and Promote
Our program is a collaboration between the Departments of Medicine, Pediatrics, and Neurology. Established in 2021, the program is designed to support and promote laboratory-based physician-scientist trainees in the residency, fellowship, and junior faculty stages. Our three main focus areas are (1) building a diverse and successful physician-scientist community, (2) providing training and mentorship specific to the laboratory-based physician-scientist career path, and (3) opportunities for career growth. We plan to create a centralized set of resources for physician-scientist trainees, hold regular career development, networking, and other mentoring events for the laboratory-based physician-scientist community, but also to increase visibility, transparency, and support for this challenging but incredibly rewarding career path.
