The recruitment and training of early-career researchers are important for the development of science, especially in countries with low birth rates, such as Japan. In several academic societies for social medicine, early-career researchers have formed associations for the purposes of networking and career development. However, to date, little information about the activities of these associations has been shared. Therefore, we organized a symposium at the 93rd Annual Meeting of the Japanese Society for Hygiene (March 4, 2023) to introduce the early-career researcher associations that have been formed within five academic societies namely the Japanese Society for Hygiene, Japan Epidemiological Association, Japan Society for Occupational Health, Japan Society for Medical Education, and Japan Society for Healthcare Administration. In this paper, we summarize the activities, challenges, and future prospects of each association and their strategies for future development and collaboration on the basis of presentations and discussions at the symposium.
早期职业研究人员的招募和培训对科学发展至关重要，尤其是在日本等低出生率国家。在几个社会医学学术团体中，早期职业研究人员为了建立人际关系网络和职业发展的目的成立了协会。然而，迄今为止，关于这些协会活动的信息很少被分享。因此，我们在日本卫生学会第93届年会上（2023年3月4日）组织了一次研讨会，介绍在五个学术团体中成立的早期职业研究人员协会，这五个团体分别是日本卫生学会、日本流行病学协会、日本职业健康学会、日本医学教育学会和日本医疗保健管理学会。在本文中，我们根据研讨会上的报告和讨论，总结了每个协会的活动、挑战和未来前景，以及它们未来发展和合作的策略。
