Educating Physician Scientists in Psychiatry (EPSP): Firing up the next generation of translational and clinical neuroscientists - Project Abstract What are the major goals of the program The path to becoming a physician-scientist is increasingly challenging. The usual approach of postponing dedicated research time until after residency prolongs the path to independence and exacerbates the “leaky pipeline” of physician-scientists. Moreover, obtaining K Awards and other funding has grown more competitive. When such obstacles lead to funding breaches, the field risks losing considerable talent. These issues underscore the pressing need to increase the number of Physician Scientists in Psychiatry (PSPs) who obtain independent funding and pursue research careers. This renewal of the successful Educating Physician Scientists in Psychiatry program (EPSP) at the University of Pennsylvania (Penn) addresses these challenges. EPSP’s overarching goal is to intensively recruit, mentor, and train PSPs for rapid, successful career progression beginning early in residency. EPSP achieves this through its core missions: 1) recruit psychiatry residents with basic, translational, or clinical science research experience into psychiatric and neuroscience research careers; 2) intensively mentor PSPs as they embark on integrated research and clinical training; and 3) prepare PSPs for career development awards and, if needed, research fellowships, launching them as independent investigators. Over the past 4 years, EPSP has expanded from 4 to 14 PSPs, providing trainees with a flexible residency structure that maximizes research opportunities and training while maintaining seamless integration with the general psychiatry residency program. Our PSPs establish the foundations of their research programs early in residency so that, upon graduation, they are optimally prepared for transitions to independent research careers. We propose to increase our highly successful recruitment and training for research careers in psychiatry and neuroscience to ~15-20 PSPs over the next 5 years. Further, we propose innovations to strengthen EPSP.
