  1. Building an MD/PhD program as a scientific hub to promote biomedical research Tiago Gil Oliveira School of Medicine, University of Minho Dublin, 23rd March 2019

  2. Post-Graduate Medical Education in Portugal à Until early 2000s most MDs did their PhD work after medical degree either during or after residency training à There were no formal MD/PhD programs until 2007

  3. Goals à Motivate and involve young medical students in basic and clinically oriented research projects. à Prepare MDs with a PhD degree before entering in the formal clinical practice in the residencies à ”contaminate” the hospitals with young MDs with training in research.

  14. MD/PhD Program as a hub for biomedical science PhD - 28 students - Main area for PhD - Neuroscience # PhDs by area

  15. MD/PhD Program as a hub for biomedical science 28 students - 9 students finalized MD/PhD - 3 faculty appointment - 1 board certified specialist (neuroradiology) - 4 residents (surgery, pathology, medical genetics) - 6 general residents - 1 clinical practice ER - 1 full time post-doc

  16. NIH – Physician-Scientist Workforce Working Group Report 1. Sustain strong support for the training of MD/PhDs 2. Individual post-doc funding for MD/PhDs 3. Promote grants for early investigators 4. Assess and track the career of MD/PhDs 5. Granting systems to facilitate transition to independence (rigorously enforce protected time – at least 75% - and provide sufficient salary) 6. Support pilot grants with novel approaches 7. Increase diversity in the physician-scientist workforce (gender) 8. Leverage the existing resources of Clinical and Translational Science Awards
