Recognizing the need to bolster retention on the physician-scientist career path, in 2020, the ASCI formed the Physician-Scientist Development Committee (PSDC) which monitors, creates, and supports programming for early-career physician-scientists. PSDC projects include:
- Increasing longitudinal programming for our Young Physician-Scientist Awardees, which includes:
- Leadership development workshops
- Virtual poster sessions
- Panel discussions on topics including Funding, Publishing, and Running a Research Program
- The Physician Scientist Pathway Series, which brings our early-career awardees and members together with an esteemed and established colleague to converse about the physician-scientist career path
- Presidential Panels connect early-career awardees with past, present, and future ASCI Presidents to informally discuss the physician-scientist career path
- Multidisciplinary peer review groups
- Instituting a similar award and programming for pre-faculty Physician-Scientists, the Emerging-Generation Award
