Building an institutional K awardee program at UC Davis through utilization of CTSA resources.

NIH offers multiple mentored career development award mechanisms. By building on the UC Davis Clinical and Translational Science Center (CTSC) from its initial NIH funding in 2006, we created an institution-wide K scholar resource. We investigated subsequent NIH funding for K scholars and to what extent CTSC research resources were used.

I-Corps@NCATS trains clinical and translational science teams to accelerate translation of research innovations into practice.

Introduction: A key barrier to translation of biomedical research discoveries is a lack of understanding among scientists regarding the complexity and process of implementation. To address this challenge, the National Science Foundation's Innovation Corps™ (I-Corps™) program trains researchers in entrepreneurship. We report results from the implementation of an I-Corps™ training program aimed at biomedical scientists from institutions funded by the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS).

Exploration of Mistreatment and Burnout Among Resident Physicians: a Cross-Specialty Observational Study.

Purpose: Resident physician mistreatment and burnout are widespread issues in medical training, but the association between the two remains unclear. This study examines the prevalence and types of mistreatment among resident physicians in core specialties and its association with burnout syndrome as well as feelings of depression/anxiety.

Methods: A cross-sectional, survey-based observational study of medical residents was conducted at the University of California, Davis Medical Center in 2014.
