Research laboratories in Medical Imaging Departments have made great strides in integrating a research mission over the past decade, but efforts must continue in order to prepare residents for the increasingly complex world of transdisciplinary research. Typically, while residents receive excellent training in their specialty, few are exposed to research with transdisciplinary teams or mentored in the translational skills required to move their discoveries and innovations into the clinical or the private sector. As health care moves increasingly toward the use of multidisciplinary teams, it is important that researchers learn to independently bridge different disciplines in order to actively participate as leading members of these teams.
