Скачать или смотреть A Caregiving Community at Carolina

Early career physician scientists struggle with working long hours, finding time to write grants to fund their research, starting a family, and maintaining an even work-life balance. They are at-risk for burnout and a handful will leave the profession before becoming tenured. The Doris Duke Charitable Foundation recognizes this problem and, at the beginning of 2016, awarded a total of $5.4 million to 10 schools over the course of five years to provide stronger institutional support and supplemental funds to early career physician scientists. UNC has recently awarded two physician scientists — Sylvia Becker-Dreps and Leeza Park — with grant money to help lighten their work routine. In truth, Carolina is doing even more than that — it's created a caregiving community that helps all applicants find mentors, get administrative supports for grants, and utilize other resources within the community.
