Abstract：
OBJECTIVE: The International Urogynecological Association (IUGA) brought together senior and junior members actively engaged in scholarly and educational activities for a consensus conference centered on developing a strategy for sustainable training of the next generation of mechanistic researchers in female pelvic medicine.
METHODS: Four a priori identified major foci were explored in a half-day virtual consensus conference. Participants included representatives from various countries and disciplines with diverse backgrounds-clinicians, physician-scientists, and basic scientists in the fields of urogynecology, biomechanical engineering, and molecular biology. Following a keynote address, each focus area was first tackled by a dedicated breakout group, led by the Chair(s) of the most relevant IUGA committees. The break-out sessions were followed by an iterative discussion among all attendees to identify mitigating strategies to address the shortage of mechanistic researchers in the field of female pelvic medicine.
RESULTS: The major focus areas included: research priorities for IUGA basic science scholar program; viable strategies for sustainable basic science mentorship; core competencies in basic science training; and the challenges of conducting complex mechanistic experiments in low-resource countries. Key gaps in knowledge and core competencies that should be incorporated into fellowship/graduate training were identified, and existing training modalities were discussed. Recommendations were made for pragmatic approaches to increasing the exposure of trainees to learning tools to enable sustainable training of the next generation of basic science researchers in female pelvic medicine worldwide.
CONCLUSIONS: The attendees presented multiple perspectives to gain consensus regarding critical areas of need for training future generations of mechanistic researchers. Recommendations for a sustainable Basic Science Scholar Program were developed using IUGA as a platform. The overarching goal of such a program is to ensure a successful bench-to-bedside-and-back circuit in Urogynecology and Pelvic Reconstructive Surgery, ultimately improving lives of millions of women worldwide through scientifically rational effective preventative and therapeutic interventions.

摘要：
目的：国际泌尿外科协会（IUGA）将积极从事学术和教育活动的高级和初级成员召集在一起，召开一次共识会议，重点是制定可持续培训下一代女性骨盆医学机制研究人员的策略。
方法：在为期半天的虚拟共识会议中探索了四个先验确定的主要焦点。与会者包括来自不同国家和学科的代表，背景不同-临床医生，医生-科学家，以及泌尿妇科领域的基础科学家，生物力学工程,和分子生物学。在主题演讲之后，每个重点领域首先由一个专门的突破小组解决，由最相关的IUGA委员会主席领导。在分组讨论之后，所有与会者进行了反复讨论，以确定缓解策略，以解决女性骨盆医学领域机械学研究人员的短缺问题。
结果：主要重点领域包括：IUGA基础科学学者计划的研究重点；可持续基础科学指导的可行策略；基础科学培训的核心能力；以及在资源匮乏的国家进行复杂机械实验的挑战。确定了应纳入研究金/研究生培训的知识和核心能力方面的关键差距，并讨论了现有的培训方式。提出了务实的方法，以增加受训者对学习工具的接触，从而能够对全世界女性骨盆医学的下一代基础科学研究人员进行可持续培训。
结论：与会者提出了多种观点，以就培训后代机械研究人员的关键领域达成共识。使用IUGA作为平台制定了可持续基础科学学者计划的建议。该计划的首要目标是确保在泌尿外科和盆腔重建手术中成功的从台到床的前后回路，通过科学合理有效的预防和治疗干预措施，最终改善全球数百万妇女的生活。
