Recruiting and retaining future generations of physician scientists in mental health 39th Annual Meeting of the American-College-of-Neuropsychopharmacology Kupfer, D. J., Hyman, S. E., Schatzberg, A. F., Pincus, H. A., Reynolds, C. F. AMER MEDICAL ASSOC. 2002: 657–60

Abstract

The authors discuss 6 challenges facing the recruitment and retention of physician scientists as career mental health researchers. These challenges include (1) early identification and recruitment at the undergraduate and medical student level; (2) recruitment of a more diverse group of trainees; (3) safety nets for reducing attrition; (4) strategies to promote successful competition for K awards; (5) definition of appropriate roles and career development opportunities in multisite clinical trials; and (6) strategies for the mentoring "cost." A coalition of stakeholders--federal, academic, foundational, and in the pharmaceutical industry--is needed to meet these challenges.
