Achieving XXcellence in Science
- Share to:
If the world of biomedical research can be likened to a globe, perhaps clinical research can be envisioned as the side facing away from the sun. Although part of the whole, it is not the shining face of biomedical research. But basic and clinical research share equally the responsibility for achieving the goals of biomedical research—improved health and treatment of disease. This workshop, held July 8–9, 2002, in Washington, D.C., looked at ways to advance women scientists careers in clinical research. Interest in such careers is falling among medical degree recipients, and particularly among women. This situation is worrisome because, according to the Association of American Medical Colleges, women will soon make up the majority of recipients of medi- cal degrees and life science doctorates (according to NSF data), and declining interest from the growing pool of future investigators may constrict our under- standing of human disease.
