The growing complexities of clinical medicine and biomedical research have clouded the career path for physician-scientists. In this perspective piece, we address one of the most opaque career stage transitions along the physician-scientist career path, the transition from medical school to research-focused internal medicine residency programs, or physician-scientist training programs (PSTPs). We present the perspectives of medical scientist training program (MSTP) and PSTP directors on critical features of PSTPs that can help trainees proactively align their clinical and scientific training for successful career development. We aim to provide both trainees and MSTP directors with a conceptual framework to better understand and navigate PSTPs. We also offer interview-specific questions to help trainees gather data and make informed decisions in choosing a residency program that best supports their career.
临床医学和生物医学研究日益复杂，使得医师科学家的职业道路变得模糊不清。在这篇观点文章中，我们探讨了医师科学家职业道路上最不透明的职业阶段过渡之一，即从医学院到以研究为重点的内科住院医师培训计划或医师科学家培训计划（PSTP）的过渡。我们介绍了医学科学家培训计划（MSTP）和 PSTP 主任对 PSTP 关键特征的看法，这些特征可以帮助学员主动调整他们的临床和科学培训，以实现成功的职业发展。我们的目的是为学员和 MSTP 主任提供一个概念框架，以更好地理解和驾驭 PSTP。我们还提供了专门的面试问题，以帮助学员在选择最能支持其职业发展的住院医师培训计划时收集数据并做出明智的决策。
