Physician-Scientist Development Committee

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
    • Peer review groups
  • Instituting a similar award and programming for pre-faculty Physician-Scientists, the Emerging-Generation Award
