Protecting an endangered species: training physicians to conduct clinical research.
What is this about?
This study aims to evaluate research careers of physicians enrolled in the Program in Clinical Effectiveness (PCE) at Harvard School of Public Health with an emphasis on clinical research. It demonstrates that physicians who enrolled in the PCE at an early age and generalist physicians were particularly successful in establishing careers as clinician–investigators. Therefore, the study concludes that programs such as the PCE can help to sustain the workforce of physician–investigators.
