Measuring Success for Pre-Doctoral Trainees: An Initial Glimpse
In their 2014 report, the Advisory Committee to the Director recommended that NIH sustain support for training of dual-degree (M.D./Ph.D.) physician scientists. As part of our ongoing efforts, we wanted to assess the success of those trainees over time.
In this analysis, we focused on the course of 33,067 predoctoral trainees, including M.D./Ph.D. (or equivalent) who were enrolled in NIH-funded institutional training programs and voluntarily reported their age, gender, race and ethnicity. (There are 11,506 predoctoral trainees who did not report complete demographic data). The cohort consisted of trainees affiliated with e...
