The shortage of physician-scientists in physical medicine and rehabilitation remains a critical problem. The Rehabilitation Medicine Scientist Training Program was developed in 1995 to provide structured career development training for aspiring rehabilitation medicine researchers. Initially funded by a 5-yr K12 grant from the National Institutes of Health National Center for Medical Rehabilitation Research, the structure was revised in 2001, continued in a stable format through three additional funding cycles (2001-2006, 2006-2012, and 2012-2016), and was again revised to a research education program (National Institutes of Health R25) model in 2019. With this change in format of the Rehabilitation Medicine Scientist Training Program, we now report the productivity of funded trainees and discuss future directions informed by the Rehabilitation Medicine Scientist Training Program's current R25 structure.

Background: Few studies have evaluated home-based cardiac rehabilitation (HBCR) during the pandemic, compared to prepandemic center-based CR (CBCR), with respect to patient characteristics, participation rates, and its efficacy on clinical metrics, health-related quality of life (QoL), and modifiable risk factors.
Objectives: We aimed to describe patient characteristics and participation rates for those attending HBCR compared to patients who attended CBCR and compare the effects of HBCR vs CBCR on clinical metrics, health-related QoL, and modifiable risk factors in CR patients pre vs during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study comparing 511 HBCR patients and 765 CBCR patients from the Mayo Clinic Health System.
