  • A questionnaire was used to gather data on research background, career pathways, and influencing factors.
  • Data analysis of 43 completed questionnaires from 60 surveyed MD-PhDs.

    • Main Results:

    • 80% of respondents held academic medicine positions, with 76% intending to pursue academia upon entering dermatology.
    • 93% secured academic positions immediately post-residency, and 50% started as assistant professors or higher.
    • Despite training costs, 80% remained in academic dermatology, highlighting their importance as physician-scientists.

    Conclusions:

    • MD-PhDs are a critical source of physician-scientists in dermatology, with a high retention rate in academic settings.
    • Factors such as protected research time and manageable clinical responsibilities may contribute to their sustained presence in academia.
    • The findings underscore the value of supporting MD-PhDs in dermatology to ensure continued research and clinical innovation.
