A career as a basic or clinical researcher is one of the most rewarding and challenging paths in academic medicine. To be successful, numerous components, including the ability to attain research grants, run a cohesive, efficient laboratory or research team, publish original, meaningful work, and reach recognition, should work efficiently and synchronously. The complexities and obstacles of this path are enhanced for underrepresented in medicine (UiM) physicians and scientists who are Latino, Hispanic, or of Spanish Origin+ (LHS+) due to specific cultural, training, and systematic barriers routinely encountered by this group. This work aims to summarize the expectations that LHS+ physicians and scientists must meet to achieve a successful career in the research track. Practical suggestions for overcoming the barriers and taking full advantage of available opportunities are discussed. There is a significant dearth of academic LHS+ physician/scientists in the USA, and supportive arguments for recruitment and retention are presented.

摘要

A career as a basic or clinical researcher is one of the most rewarding and challenging paths in academic medicine. To be successful, numerous components, including the ability to attain research grants, run a cohesive, efficient laboratory or research team, publish original, meaningful work, and reach recognition, should work efficiently and synchronously. The complexities and obstacles of this path are enhanced for underrepresented in medicine (UiM) physicians and scientists who are Latino, Hispanic, or of Spanish Origin+ (LHS+) due to specific cultural, training, and systematic barriers routinely encountered by this group. This work aims to summarize the expectations that LHS+ physicians and scientists must meet to achieve a successful career in the research track. Practical suggestions for overcoming the barriers and taking full advantage of available opportunities are discussed. There is a significant dearth of academic LHS+ physician/scientists in the USA, and supportive arguments for recruitment and retention are presented.
