临床和卫生服务研究者的职业生涯管理和时间管理的策略
介绍
如果临床和卫生服务研究者想维持他们在职业生涯的研究计划,科研经费的竞争增加要求他们能全神贯注并有效率。发展这些技能对学员和青年教师是极为重要的。虽然为了获得资金,职业生涯发展的有关整体‘完形’关注的问题,一般事业建设方面的咨询意见和战略,此前已经解决,但是关于一个临床和卫生研究者把重点和效率最大化的战略几乎没有发表。在这篇文章中,我们提供了这样一套初级调查战略。
首先,了解你们自己
我们一开始就有一个中心指导原则:了解我们职业生涯中的目标,需要和个人特点是至关重要的,以使职业生涯的决定和选择策略最大限度地提高效率和工作重点。
了解你的价值观以及它们的相对优先地位
我们都要平衡工作的竞争要求和个人的承诺。相对优先的这些要求各有不同,在不同的时代,在我们的生活中,明确认识到它们的相对重要性是至关重要的。而且,明确自己的角色和他们的要求是重要的。你怎样在研究,教学和临床活动中分配你的工作时间?什么是你的家庭责任(已经形成的和正在进行的)?在一个人的职业生涯和家庭生活中获得一个可行的平衡在每个层面的成功和满意度上是非常重要的,而且预留时间去休息,反省,运动,恢复精力和观点对拥有充足的能源与继续工作是非常重要的。我们建议您从字面上写下一份"价值"的声明,表明在你生活的各方面,什么是重要的(人,家庭,社区,职业)。这可以帮助阐述你的相对优先次序,并在这些不同的方面和每一个层面中如何平衡时间提供指导。
Career and Time Management Strategies for Clinical and Health Services Researchers
Introduction
Increased competition for research funding requires that clinical and health services researchers be focused and efficient if they are to sustain their research programs over their careers. Developing these skills is paramount for trainees and junior faculty. Although career development issues related to overall ‘gestalt’ concerns, general career building advice, and strategies for obtaining funding have been previously addressed, there has been little published about strategies for maximizing one’s focus and efficiency as a clinical or health services researcher. In this article, we offer a set of such strategies for junior investigators.
First, Know Thyself (The Person)
We begin with a central guiding principle: understanding the goals, needs, and personal characteristics we bring to our careers is critical to making career decisions and selecting strategies to maximize efficiency and focus.
Understanding Your Values and Their Relative Priority.
We all balance competing demands of work against personal commitments. The relative priority of these demands varies at different times in our lives, and explicitly recognizing their relative importance is essential. Further, it is important to clarify one’s roles and what they require. How do you allocate your work time across research, teaching, and clinical activities? What are your familial responsibilities (both situational and ongoing)? Attaining a workable balance between one’s career and family life is vital to success and satisfaction in each dimension, and reserving time to ‘sharpen the saw—to rest, reflect, exercise, restore energy and perspective—is vital to having a full reservoir of energy and drive for continuing one’s work. We recommend you literally write down a “values” statement, indicating what is important to you in each aspect of your life (personal, family, community, career). This can help with explicating your relative priorities and with providing guidance for how to balance time among those different aspects and within each dimension.
