Physician-scientists who work as researchers while practicing as clinicians continue to play a critical role in the conduct of disease-oriented research in infectious diseases. While we have made progress in the coordination of their early clinical and scientific training, we have been less attentive to the exigencies of a hybrid job description along the entire continuum of their academic medical careers. This article considers strategies to support the clinical activities of physician-scientists, honoring our shared commitment to excellent patient care. The approaches described may not be universally applicable. Instead, they are meant to highlight the issues and contribute to an ongoing dialogue in our rapidly evolving field.
从事临床工作的同时作为研究人员的医师科学家,在传染病的以疾病为导向的研究中继续发挥着关键作用。虽然我们在协调他们早期临床和科研培训方面取得了进展,但我们对他们整个学术医学职业生涯中混合工作描述的必要性关注较少。本文考虑了支持医师科学家临床活动的策略,以履行我们对卓越患者护理的共同承诺。所描述的方法并非普遍适用。相反,它们旨在突出问题,并为我们这个快速发展的领域的持续对话做出贡献。
