The training of new medicinal chemists is vital to the future of the field, and as graduate students at this critical stage, we are uniquely positioned to comment on our training. Herein, we discuss the perspectives from graduate researchers before, during, and after graduate school by utilizing survey data obtained from five medicinal chemistry programs in the Midwest and recent alumni of the University of Minnesota. We also reflect on the female perspective within the field of medicinal chemistry. Finally, we offer recommendations to both students and faculty in the hopes of helping future generations succeed in the field.
新的药物化学家的培训对于该领域的未来至关重要,作为这个关键阶段的研究生,我们能够对我们的培训进行独特的评价。在这里,我们利用从中西部五个药物化学项目和明尼苏达大学最近的校友那里获得的调查数据,讨论研究生在研究生阶段之前、期间和之后的观点。我们还反映了药物化学领域内的女性视角。最后,我们为学生和教师提供建议,希望帮助未来的几代人在该领域取得成功。
