Abstract

Purpose: Professional organizations have emphasized the growing need for pharmacists to possess advanced research skills; however, there is a scarcity of training programs aimed at nurturing clinician-scientists. This report outlines 3 critical care-focused research programs, each offering a unique approach to training clinician-scientists. Summary: Limited resources and formalized programs are available to bridge the gap between the demand for and availability of skilled clinician-scientists. Several programs have stepped forward to share their experiences in establishing and executing training initiatives aimed at cultivating skilled clinician-scientists in the critical care practice space. Conclusion: Enhancing the development of clinician-scientists for clinical and translational research is necessary in the critical care clinical pharmacy community.
