This is the summary article in our research series. We have attempted to provide useful information for persons at all levels of research training, from the student to the clinician with a collaborative but not active role, to the new clinical researcher, to the experienced faculty member. But there is much more to be learned than can be presented in a short series of articles. From this series, you should be able to make a reasoned choice about what role in research you would like to take, and seek to maintain or upgrade your research skills to accomplish that. The previous articles, exercises and references presented will guide you in independent study. The focus of this article is to help you choose an environment in which you can continue to learn and develop. Although the "ideal" place as described here may never exist, no institution is totally devoid of research possibilities and you can use this article to help seek or develop local resources you may not have considered. By extracting questions and clues from people around you, you stimulate them to "think research" even if a formal program is absent; at the least, you can ally yourself with a nearby institution which has researchers in other clinical specialties or areas of basic science. Each organization is obviously different, having different strengths and resources. It is up to each chairperson to decide what proportion of limited resources should be invested in research. Once this decision is made, it is the initiative of the individual faculty members that will make a productive department.
这是我们研究系列中的总结文章。我们试图为处于不同研究培训阶段的人员提供有用信息，从学生到在研究中起协作而非主导作用的临床医生，再到新的临床研究人员，以及经验丰富的教员。然而，要学习的内容远多于这一系列短文所能呈现的。通过这个系列，你应该能够就自己想在研究中扮演的角色做出合理选择，并努力保持或提升自己的研究技能以实现这一目标。之前呈现的文章、练习和参考文献将指导你进行自主学习。本文的重点是帮助你选择一个能够持续学习和发展的环境。尽管这里所描述的“理想”场所可能永远不存在，但没有哪个机构完全没有研究机会，你可以利用本文来寻找或开发你可能未曾考虑过的当地资源。通过从你周围的人那里提取问题和线索，即使没有正式的项目，你也能激发他们“思考研究”；至少，你可以与附近有其他临床专科或基础科学领域研究人员的机构结盟。每个组织显然都不同，有着不同的优势和资源。应由每位系主任决定在有限资源中应将多大比例投入到研究中。一旦做出这个决定，单个教员的积极性将造就一个富有成效的部门。
