Physician-Scientist

AAIM Physician-Scientist Initiative 

The AAIM Physician-Scientist Initiative seeks to identify, develop, and implement substantive and practical solutions that will ensure the survival, growth, and diversity of the physician-scientist workforce. This initiative which has been led by the AAIM Research Committee, has executed several activities centered on strategies to promote diversity and inclusion in the pathway, fostering intellectual curiosity, evaluating the trainee perspective, and addressing wellness and burnout. 

The AAIM Physician-Scientist Initiative directly supports initiative five of AAIM’s Strategic Plan which is charged with developing and disseminating best practices designed to ensure the expansion of opportunities for underrepresented faculty to be part of a physician-scientist workforce that is diverse, equitable and inclusive.
