The Physician-Scientist Engagement Committee (PSEC) ensures that the organization, its programs, and its mentoring mechanisms foster maximal engagement within the physician-scientist community.
- Institutional Representatives: The PSEC works with the Council and Insitutional Representatives to enhance IR engagement with the Society and with their home institutions and to foster this wellspring of the ASCI community.
- Demographic data collection
- Since 2022, the Society collected comprehensive demographic information from members and others in the ASCI community. This includes geographic region, institutional affiliation, scientific specialty, age, gender, ancestry, and other characteristics. The data points will allow us to better understand our community and gaps in representation at a given moment and over time, and to identify ways to address areas of concern. The ASCI’s mission — supporting physician-scientists to improve the health of all people — depends on a community that represents all people.
If you have already completed your demographic profile, we thank you. If not, please participate in this effort to advance the ASCI’s breadth and depth of representation by completing the Demographics section in your account. All data are anonymized for analysis.
