This article describes a regional program developed by the Department of Veterans Affairs South Central Mental Illness Research, Education and Clinical Center for training psychiatry residents in research and attracting them to academic careers.
The authors describe a low-cost, innovative program developed to increase the number of psychiatry residents entering postresidency research training fellowships by providing them with mentorship and exposure to seasoned researchers, didactic coursework, and a stipend to cover academic expenses.
Over the first 4 years, the program has generated enthusiastic participation among postgraduate year 3 (PGY-3) residents, with a high percentage of underrepresented ethnic minorities and women. Products include publication of four first-authored and two coauthored manuscripts, one first-authored abstract, submission of six additional papers, 28 academic presentations and development of research projects. Half of graduating awardees have gone on to pursue research careers.
Our regional approach provides sufficient academic expertise to make residency training feasible in a cost-effective manner.
本文介绍了退伍军人事务部中南精神疾病研究、教育与临床中心开发的一项区域项目，该项目旨在培训精神病学住院医师进行研究，并吸引他们投身学术事业。
作者描述了一个低成本、创新性的项目，该项目旨在通过为精神病学住院医师提供指导、让他们接触经验丰富的研究人员、开展教学课程以及提供津贴以支付学术费用，从而增加进入住院医师后研究培训奖学金项目的人数。
在最初的4年里，该项目在三年级住院医师（PGY - 3）中获得了热烈参与，其中少数族裔和女性的参与比例很高。成果包括发表了4篇第一作者和2篇共同作者的手稿、1篇第一作者摘要、提交了另外6篇论文、进行了28次学术报告以及开展了研究项目。一半的毕业获奖者继续从事研究工作。
我们的区域方法提供了足够的学术专业知识，以使住院医师培训以具有成本效益的方式得以实现。
