American Physician Scientist Association annual meetings: celebrating 20 years of physician-scientist training and collaboration

Abstract

The American Physician Scientists Association (APSA) was founded in 2003 with a mission to build a unified community for physician-scientist trainees. Over the past 2 decades, the APSA has played a pivotal role in fostering the development of future physician-scientists through mentorship, advocacy, and professional development. This year, the APSA hosted its 20th Annual Meeting in Chicago in collaboration with the Association of American Physicians and the American Society for Clinical Investigation. This milestone marks a moment of celebration and reflection, highlighting APSA’s enduring impact on the future of physician-scientist training.

(A) Residency interests grouped by specialty type. The y axis has been split to better display the higher proportion of medical specialty interest. (B) Changes in specialty interests from 2016–2025 performed using the Mann-Kendall test to detect increasing or decreasing trends in time series data. A positive Tau score is associated with a positive correlation (increased interest), while a negative Tau score is associated with a negative correlation (decreased interest). Points in red denote a significant increase or decrease in interest over time. The APSA began collecting participant data on specialty interests in 2016.
