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.
