How will we recruit, train, and retain physicians and scientists to conduct translational cancer research?
Cet article passe en revue les défis dans le recrutement de médecins et de scientifiques pour mener des études en recherche translationnelle sur les cancers
Advances in clinical medicine require effective translational research. Ideally, this research will be performed by multidisciplinary teams that include both physicians and basic scientists. However, the current system does not appropriately train either physicians or basic scientists for these careers. In addition, translational researchers are often not properly rewarded, and this creates a disincentive for pursuing this kind of research. The roles and challenges for physicians and basic researchers in the field of translational research are discussed along with proposed solutions for improving their recruitment, training, and retention.
