Medical Student Alcohol Research Internship

摘要 为了有效满足受过培训的内科科学家进行生物医学研究的需求 研究，我们提出了一个短期的研究培训计划，为入学前和入学的医学 LSUHSC-新奥尔良的学生。这个暑期实习计划(SIP)将支持五名学生工作 与眼科和狮眼中心的研究人员合作，旨在 培养他们对专注于眼病研究的职业的兴趣。我们已经确定了许多教职员工导师 他们正在进行酒精滥用的临床和基础科学研究。学生们将进行密集的 在夏季与ARC教员一起进行10周的临床或基础科学研究实践。那些 参加第二个暑期活动的学生(预科学生)将作为新生的同伴导师。 学生，因此为该计划提供了一个重要的指导组成部分。该计划的目标包括： 1)为医学生提供研究经验；2)为学生提供强大的职业生涯和 研究指导；3)增加妇女和少数族裔学生对研究的参与；4)提供 暑期实习生拥有在学术医学领域取得成功所需的职业技能。除了他们的 研究经验，学生将接受教学培训：实验室安全，负责任的研究行为， HIPPA，在研究中使用动物，在撰写摘要和展示研究结果方面的技能发展(口头 和海报演示)。在暑期结束时，学生们将在医学院做一个海报演示 学校研究日。院长办公室还将帮助他们旅行，将他们的数据提交给国家或 地区性会议。我们将努力招募10%代表不足的少数族裔参与者，以反映 路易斯安那州立大学医学院班级的人口统计数据。为了确定该计划对个人的影响 参与者，暑期实习生将完成目标实现量表(GAS)和研究自我效能感 (RSE)调查。气体已被证明是一种有价值的、灵活的夏季评估技术。 研究培训计划。RSE是职业选择和表现的主要预测者。我们还将进行 关于整个方案的形成性和总结性评价，以确定什么方案 可能需要做出改变，调整课程以更好地满足学生的需求。最后，工作 我们将与学生事务处一起实施职业跟踪系统，该系统将衡量长期 暑期经历对职业选择和研究参与的影响，从而量化长期 这一计划的影响。这一计划不仅有助于造就下一代酒精研究人员，而且 将使医生为治疗各种与酒精有关的疾病做好准备。

ABSTRACT In order to effectively address the need for physician scientists who are trained to conduct biomedical research, we propose a short-term research training program for pre-matriculating and matriculated medical students at LSUHSC-New Orleans. This Summer Internship Program (SIP) will support five students to work with researchers within the Department of Ophthalmology and the Lion’s Eye Center and is designed to cultivate their interest in careers focused on eye disease research. We have identified many faculty mentors who are working on both clinical and basic science studies of alcohol abuse. Students will conduct intensive hands-on clinical or basic science research for 10 weeks in the summer, working with ARC faculty. Those students who participate for a second summer (pre-matriculated students) will act as peer mentors to incoming students, thus providing an important mentoring component to the program. The goals of this program include: 1) to provide medical students with research experiences; 2) to provide students with strong career and research mentoring; 3) to increase the participation in research by women and minority students; 4) to provide summer interns with the career skills they will need to succeed in academic medicine. In addition to their research experience, students will receive didactic training on: lab safety, responsible conduct of research, HIPPA, use of animals in research, skill development in writing abstracts and presenting research results (oral and poster presentations). At the end of the summer, students will give a poster presentation at the Medical School Research Day. The Dean’s office will also help support their travel to present their data at national or regional meetings. We will work to recruit 10% underrepresented minority participants, reflecting the demographics of the LSU medical school class. In order to determine the impact the program has on individual participants, summer interns will complete Goals Attainment Scales (GAS) as well as Research Self Efficacy (RSE) surveys. GAS has been shown to be a valuable and flexible technique for the evaluation of summer research training programs. RSE is a major predictor of career choice and performance. We will also conduct formative and summative evaluations concerning the entire program, in order to determine what programmatic changes may be needed and to tailor the program to better meet the needs of the students. Lastly, working with the Office of Student Affairs, we will implement a career tracking system which will measure the long-term impact of their summer experience on career choices and research participation, thus quantifying the long-term impact of this program. This program will not help to create the next generation of alcohol researchers but also will prepare physicians to treat the variety of alcohol-related diseases.
