The numbers of physician-scientists (PSs) who conduct
patient-oriented (i.e., clinical) research (CR) are declining;
thus, public health care and research is in serious jeopardy. In
order to determine how to attract more physicians to CR careers and
direct educational interventions effectively, this book using
qualitative research method unraveled the complicated nature of
PSs' learning in light of the structural dimensions of individual
and workplace context, such as access, culture, gender and power
and proposed a model to foster PSs' learning in communities of
practice. The goal is to encourage various forms of peripheral
participation in broadly defined CR to construct layers of going
from core membership to extreme peripherality in a global PSs'
community. These layers of engagement serve the dynamics of the CR
enterprise development and provide multiple learning opportunities
for PSs. Four main issues in the workplace learning relating to 1)
learning how to learn in practice, 2) restructuring power and
access to learning resources, 3) exercising combination of
mentorship and leadership, and 4) understanding cultural and gender
differences were discussed. This book should be especially useful
to clinical research training program educators, planners and
policy-makers, or anyone else who has interest in facilitating the
integration of practice and research in various professional
development contexts.
