Combined Engineering and Orthopaedics Training Program

特殊外科医院(HSS)工程与骨科相结合的培养目标 计划是识别、培训和授权一组高潜力的调查人员来利用 通过跨学科研究推进患者护理的工程原则，同时培养他们 成为肌肉骨骼和骨科科学领域的成功学术和临床领导者。这些 将通过以下方式实现目标：(I)认真挑选杰出和积极进取的博士后和博士后。 博士生，(Ii)为他们提供独特的培训、指导和研究机会，以适应 分专科学术医院，以及(Ii)强调跨学科方法和重点 指导解决临床相关的研究问题。申请填补两个博士前职位将是 来自康奈尔大学工程学院的不同研究生的邀请。实习生选拔 基于在HSS现有的强制性暑期“沉浸”学期的出色表现，一个强大的 基于HSS的临床合作者的支持信，并承诺至少花费一次全额 在HSS的学期。将邀请以下人员申请两个博士后职位：(I)高素质和多样化 HSS临床服务主管和培训计划执行指导委员会确定的住院医生为 能够从事临床医生-科学家职业生涯的后起之秀，以及(Ii)拥有 通过先前的赠款支持、被高度引用的同行评议出版物以及 强大的跨学科协作。所有职位的其他关键遴选标准都是强有力的研究 符合培训计划使命的计划，追求学术事业的愿望，以及强大的 教官。培训计划的一个关键优势是两国之间核心和统一的40年关系 HSS和康奈尔大学工程学院。这种关系最近被重组为 重振旗鼓的跨机构中心：CAMEO(先进材料与工程中心 整形外科)，从中提取培训计划教官。导师包括科学家和临床医生- 在应用工程原理进行联邦资助的研究方面有良好记录的科学家 旨在通过基础研究和转化性研究改善患者护理。学员受益于强大的 指导计划和专门的指导委员会，广泛的核心服务，扩展的能力 流行病学和生物统计学、机构患者登记和新创建的再生医学和 基因组学研究中心，遍及我们的研究和临床部门。与以下公司合作10年 威尔康奈尔医学(WCM)，特别是WCM临床和翻译科学中心(CTSC)， 提供正式的课程、研讨会和座谈会。总而言之，我们丰富的资源将得到利用和 在我们的博士后和博士后培训计划中精心设计，提供独特的培训体验 并使我们的受训人员能够在骨科科学领域发展成功的独立职业生涯。

The goals of the Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) Combined Engineering and Orthopaedics Training Program are to identify, train, and empower a select group of high potential investigators to utilize the principles of engineering to advance patient care through interdisciplinary research while nurturing them to become successful academic and clinical leaders in the musculoskeletal and orthopaedic sciences. These goals will be achieved by: (i) carefully selecting exceptional and highly motivated pre-doctoral and post- doctoral trainees, (ii) providing them with unique training, mentoring, and research opportunities adapted to a sub-specialty academic hospital, and (ii) placing an emphasis on interdisciplinary approaches and focused mentoring to address clinically relevant research problems. Applications to fill two pre-doctoral positions will be invited from diverse graduate students in the School of Engineering at Cornell University. Trainee selection is based on outstanding performance in an existing mandatory summer ‘immersion’ term at HSS, a strong supporting letter by an HSS-based clinical collaborator, and a commitment to spend a minimum of one full semester at HSS. Applications for two post-doctoral positions will be invited from: (i) high caliber and diverse residents identified by HSS Clinical Service Chiefs and the Training Program Executive Steering Committee as rising-stars capable of pursuing clinician-scientist career pathways, and (ii) PhD post-doctoral fellows who have demonstrated exemplary potential through prior grant support, highly cited peer-reviewed publications, and strong cross-disciplinary collaborations. Additional key selection criteria for all positions are strong research plans that meet the mission of the Training Program, a desire to pursue an academic career, and a strong preceptor. A key strength to the training program is the central and unifying 40+ year relationship between HSS and the School of Engineering at Cornell University. This relationship has been recently reorganized into a revitalized cross-institutional center: CAMEO (Center for Advanced Materials and Engineering in Orthopaedics) from which Training Program preceptors are drawn. Preceptors include scientists and clinician- scientists with strong track records of conducting federally-funded research applying engineering principles aimed at improving patient care through basic and translational research. Trainees benefit from a strong mentoring program and a dedicated Mentorship Committee, extensive core services, expanded capabilities in epidemiology and biostatistics, institutional patient registries, and newly created Regenerative Medicine and Genomics Research Centers that traverse our research and clinical departments. A 10+ year collaboration with Weill Cornell Medicine (WCM), and especially the WCM Clinical and Translational Science Center (CTSC), provides formal coursework, seminars and symposia. In summary, our rich resources will be leveraged and choreographed across our pre- and post-doctoral Training Program to provide a unique training experience and position our trainees to develop successful independent careers in the orthopaedic sciences.
