Journal of Graduate Medical Education, 2020Abstract: Medical innovation depends on translation, the process of applying clinical insights to solve biological problems, and vice versa, yet existing training programs provide few opportunities for physician-scientists to integrate their clinical and research training. We developed and determined the feasibility and acceptability of a rotation on the Molecular Medicine Investigation Unit (MMIU), a novel program that engages trainees in the deliberate linkage of patient care and scientific inquiry to cultivate their interest and skills in translation.
