Addressing challenges in physician-scientist training and retention is crucial. Medical institutions must implement supportive career tracks and mentorship to prevent the "leaking pipeline" of physician-scientists.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Scientific Workforce Development
Background:
- The number of physician-scientists is declining, termed a "leaking pipeline."
- Understanding enrollment, retention, success metrics, and satisfaction is vital.
Purpose of the Study:
- To assess the current status of physician-scientists.
- To identify challenges in their enrollment and retention.
- To explore determinants of success and satisfaction.
Main Methods:
- Scoping review methodology.
- Searched Scopus, Web of Science, and PubMed databases.
- Analyzed 40 documents using the Arksey and O'Malley framework.
Main Results:
- Medical institutions need to enhance enrollment and retention strategies.
- Addressing individual, regulatory, and sociocultural factors is essential to combat attrition.
Conclusions:
- Implement structured career tracks and mentorship programs.
- Promote team science and provide dedicated career development support.
- Foster collaborations and integrate project-based training for physician-scientists.
