[Text on screen: The Ohio State University - WEXNER MEDICAL CENTER] [Text on screen: ROBERT BAIOCCHI, MD, PhD] Robert Baiocchi, MD, PhD: The Physician Scientist Training Program, or PSTP, at The Ohio State University is really a career development pathway for physicians who would like to take their discovery and bring it to the clinic to benefit their patients. It's really meant to be a mentorship program with a mentorship team applied for each trainee, and it's modeled after the American Board of Internal Medicine's research pathway. [Video clip of Lapo Alinari, MD, PhD and Francesca Cottini, MD, interacting in a lab] [Text on screen: LAPO ALINARI, MD, PhD] Lapo Alinari, MD, PhD: I interviewed at several programs around the country and Ohio State came out on top, and the reason why it came out on top is because it's a very friendly, a very collaborative environment. I thought the clinical training was excellent while providing outstanding mentorship opportunity. I feel this is the ideal place where I can achieve my goals. [Text on screen: FRANCESCA COTTINI, MD] Francesca Cottini, MD: So I think that I choose the Ohio State for both residency and hematology-oncology fellowship training because of the two main strengths that this place has: one is great science and the second one is patient care. [Video clip of The James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute] Our hospital, The James Cancer Hospital, has like a great load of patients that are inspiration and also like are great reason for training and for clinical trials. [Video of Cottini, MD, interacting with another individual in a lab] Baiocchi, MD, PhD: We're able to match each trainee with a group of mentors that can really focus their efforts on translational medicine. That's taking their basic science and developing that to a clinical application for patients. Ultimately, what we try to do in this program is to provide guidance and career development for each of the trainees and allow them to really channel their training and efforts into the development of a laboratory program, which is very unique. [Video of Cottini, MD, interacting with another individual in a lab] Most people coming out of residency and fellowship, entering into faculty, have a very poor background in designing what their overall lab program is going to be. And we really channel a lot of effort into helping them really hone in on not just the basic science, but how that's going to be incorporated into their clinic, and how that's going to be incorporated into what they do to bring their basic discovery to the patient. Cottini, MD: Finding like a good research mentor was not difficult at all. Here at Ohio State, our physician scientist program is devoted to try to find a group of mentors, both in the research and like clinical part, to help us succeed and reach our goals. Alinari, MD, PhD: The goal of every physician scientist is to make new discoveries, advance science, with the ultimate goal of impacting or affecting patient outcome whatever they are This is not something that an individual can achieve. Now it's called a team science, so every single individual, as part of the team, can bring some unique expertise to make impactful discoveries. Baiocchi, MD, PhD: Probably the most gratifying part of my job is starting people at different levels, whether they're in medical school, residency or fellowship, or faculty position, and seeing them make their goals, seeing them get to where they want to get to, and ultimately seeing where their impact, their greatest impact, is made, in the laboratory or in the clinic. It's a really exciting outcome. [Text on screen: The Ohio State University - WEXNER MEDICAL CENTER]
