The also become part China's mechanism to select, educate employ expertise. However, its vigorous development, problems do exist management this system, such as unclear rights responsibilities, ambiguous positioning, difficulty ...

The Harvard-MIT-NEMC Research Training Program in Medical Informatics brings together five separate research groups to provide a diversified training experience in Boston with sponsorship by the National Library of Medicine. This program offers predoctoral and postdoctoral programs, supplemented by many opportunities for collegial exchange and interaction among the groups.

Following calls to reform the dental licensure process, New York state has adopted an innovative approach that is responsive to the perceived shortcomings of the existing Part III examination. This solution eliminates the legally, psychometrically, and ethically compromised system, replacing it with a requirement that both ensures the public's protection and gives the new dentist additional exp...

Postdoctoral researchers (postdocs) are individuals who have obtained a PhD degree and are working in a temporary, mentored research position [1,2]. A proper postdoctoral experience should provide the necessary training for these individuals to achieve scientific and professional independence. During this phase of researchers’ careers, they should develop new skillsets by working in research gr...

Many resources are invested in research training, but very little literature exists on predictors for a successful PhD and postdoctoral training outcome. A PhD program has two overall objectives: to extend knowledge about a hopefully important health topic and to provide extensive training to improve the PhD student's skills through learning research methods and collaboration. A substantial num...

transition from medical school to GME, from residency training to fellowship, and from fellowship to practice. To maintain the “osteopathic” in osteopathic education, perhaps we need recharging outlets at each level. Osteopathic postdoctoral training institutions have been the battery pack for DOs in osteopathic residency and fellowship training, providing some osteopathic juice when the level ...

During my doctoral work and postdoctoral training in the early 2000s, career stage, or status, was less concerning to bench scientists. Now, however, the scientific community has come to the consensus that systematic training is integral to doctoral and postdoctora...
