Workshop

Description: This workshop will build on the experience of the NPSCW (National Pediatrician Scientist Collaborative Workgroup), a group of over 30 pediatric physician-scientist training programs, to develop new concepts and approaches for physician-scientist curricula during residency training. The workshop will bring together PSTP directors; trainees, recent graduates, and candidates; division directors, fellowship directors, and chairs; representatives of NIH/foundation funding; and representatives of APS and SPR. Success in physician-scientist development demands a focus not only on immediate needs of trainees to succeed as scientists and physicians today but also a perspective on training that will meet future needs that are anticipated to arise as trainees transition to fellowship, faculty, and leadership. In 2022 and 2023, NPSCW hosted both a PAS Lab and workshop focused on understanding the futures that the pediatrician-scientist will face, which highlighted critical challenges such as developing leadership skills in team science, navigating academic promotion, integrating large data and other analysis methods, and responding to the emergence of AI. This year’s workshop will build on this understanding to identify critical current curricular needs, to increase awareness of present and future challenges, and to create collaboration among stakeholders to create a vision of a common curriculum that will provide a focus for delivery of key resources to benefit pediatric trainees broadly.

Learning Objectives:

Identify key skills needed for present and future success as a pediatrician-scientist
Identify common and individual gaps in skills and training that a common curricula must address
Mobilize resources that can address these needs both at individual program and national level and devise key elements of a common curriculum for future development
