Child neuro is one of the only peds subspecialties that does not have a formal PSTP pathway for physician scientists.
If the total consensus training requirements adds up to ~4 yrs, could the 5th (plus a 6th) year be formalized into a PSTP-style research track?
@ChildNeuroSoc
Our next #DivSum24 speaker @MytienTNguyen discussed the importance of #FGLI trainee development, and the impact of #policy on #URiM trainees in #doubledocs training. Even with @NIH requirements, the average #URiM#MSTP trainee representation is only 12%, despite doubling overall.
3 of 10 Black MD-PhD students did not complete their training
Black students (compared to White) were:
🚨 2X more likely to leave medical school altogether
🚨 50% more likely to complete MD only

And one way we embrace diversity is through our CHP VUE 4-week summer immersion program for 4th year med students from historically excluded communities in medicine. Application deadline is today. More info here: https://t.co/xNdR92E3nc

This morning one of my patient's moms asked me if I ever went home. I had to reassure her that I had went home last night. #Pediatrics Thank god intern year is almost over.

We found that a lower % of women and Black PIs were super PIs, even after we adjusted for career stage and degree
ALL women & Black men were underrepresented among super PI
Critically, Black women were 3X LESS likely than White men to be super PIs

First, we found that the # of PIs who hold 3 or more concurrent NIH grants have increased 3X since 1991.
More importantly, these PIs who make up 11% of NIH-funded faculty holds 28% of the NIH research budget
