About this Research Topic
Education plays a pivotal role in cultivating competent and collaborative researchers in the field of Neurostimulation, however supervisors, principal investigators, lab managers and others involved in the education and training of Neurostimulation clinicians and researchers face complex and wide-ranging challenges in their role.
The issues facing educators in this field include an evolving research landscape, with advancements in technology, methodologies, and mental health literacy requiring educators to stay up to date and incorporate recent advances into their education and training programs, the need for interdisciplinary integration, and the impact of limited resources and constraints, such as lack of funding, infrastructure, and access to cutting-edge technologies and research tools. Education also involves ethical considerations, the need for researchers to be proficient in research methodology and statistical training, and supporting researchers to navigate the complex landscape of funding opportunities. In addition, educators are required to ensure diversity, equity and inclusion in psychiatry research by creating inclusive learning environments, promoting diversity in research teams, and addressing biases and disparities in research practices and outcomes, and they must balance all of the above with competing priorities including their own clinical practice, teaching, and administrative duties.
This Research Topic aims to examine the broad area of current educational practices in Neurostimulation, highlighting new advances and identifying opportunities for improvement. Submissions are encouraged, but not limited to, the following themes in Neurostimulation:
- Curriculum development and implementation
- Teaching methodologies and innovative approaches
- Training in research design, methodology, and statistical analysis
- Ethical considerations
- Interdisciplinary collaboration and networking
- Research mentorship and supervision
- Strategies for promoting research dissemination and effective communication in psychiatry
- Addressing diversity, equity, and inclusion
