This study investigated factors influencing success of physician scientists in Academic Medical Centers. These organizations and individuals drive healthcare in the United States. Translation of scientific discovery to medical practice moves at an astoundingly slow and ineffective rate. We must understand what contributes to physician scientist success to speed up translation. Through a lens of dialectic process theory, a grounded theory approach identified emergent factors from lived experiences of 31 individuals, at various experience levels, with MD and PhD degrees. Role balance, autonomy, organizational support, teamwork, life-cycle mentorship, and relational capacity were relevant factors impacting success. Role balance was important for success. Teamwork, organizational support, and life-cycle mentorship helped individuals grow, achieve balance, and respect, but relational capacity emerged as a critical driver for realizing both individual and organizational success. One person cannot execute these complex roles on their own, but development of deep and meaningful relationships through teamwork, collaboration, and life-cycle mentorship are essential for life satisfaction and success.
本研究调查了影响学术医疗中心医师科学家成功的因素。这些组织和个人推动着美国的医疗保健发展。将科学发现转化为医学实践的速度惊人地缓慢且低效。我们必须了解是什么促成了医师科学家的成功，以加快转化速度。通过辩证过程理论的视角，扎根理论方法从 31 名具有 MD 和 PhD 学位的不同经验水平的个体的生活经历中确定了新出现的因素。角色平衡、自主性、组织支持、团队合作、生命周期指导和关系能力是影响成功的相关因素。角色平衡对于成功很重要。团队合作、组织支持和生命周期指导有助于个人成长、实现平衡和尊重，但关系能力成为实现个人和组织成功的关键驱动力。一个人无法独自承担这些复杂的角色，但通过团队合作、协作和生命周期指导建立深厚而有意义的关系对于生活满意度和成功至关重要。
