Physician-Scientist trainees: A "call to action" to confront future career challenges.

Physician-Scientist trainees: A "call to action" to confront future career challenges. Clin Invest Med. 2020 Sep 24;43(3):E25-26 Authors: Balestrini CS Abstract Throughout their careers, physician-scientists must adapt to the dynamic landscape of the medical research environment. As such, current physicianscientist trainees must overcome unique obstacles on the path to productive research careers. In the paper by Levit et al. in this month's Clinical and Investigative Medicine issue, Canadian research leaders describe the challenges and opportunities for the next generation of physician-scientists [1]. They paint a cautiously optimistic picture. The current article is an outlook and concurrent "call to action" for how ongoing physician-scientist concerns can be conquered from the perspective of a current Canadian MD-PhD student.
