The authors describe their experience with an innovative model of research training programs, including the Master of Science in Psychiatry Program. The Master of Science in Psychiatry program provides research trainees—medical students, residents, fellows, and possibly junior faculty—with an opportunity to enroll in research-oriented classes and seminars, to realize their own research project under the guidance of research mentors, and finalize it with a thesis defense. The experience with this approach has been successful so far. The authors suggest that their programs may provide a template for other academic departments and that this could be one of the models for preparation of the next generation of psychiatric researchers.
