Weill Cornell Post-Doctoral Training Program in Behavioral Geriatrics (TPiBG) The TPiBG develops independent investigators capable of conducting patient-oriented research to improve the quality of life and quality of care of older adults. Behavioral Geriatrics is a scientific orientation that integrates social/behavioral approaches with geriatric medicine approaches to study clinically significant and pressing issues of aging (e.g., pain, cognitive impairment, polypharmacy, caregiving, end-of-life medical decision- making, bereavement). The Program, led by Cary Reid, MD, PhD and Holly Prigerson, PhD, accepts both MD and PhD postdoctoral trainees (2/year) seeking careers integrating biomedical and innovative social/behavioral approaches to improve care and care outcomes in older adults. A formal didactic core curriculum covers topics including clinical and psychosocial epidemiology, community-based participatory research, trial design as related to the study of older adults, scientific rigor and reproducibility and role of technology in aging research. Completing the Cornell CTSC Master’s degree or Certificate Program in Clinical Research is mandatory for MD trainees. Trainees participate in monthly “work-in-progress” sessions and a monthly Trainees’ Forum provides instruction in the presentation and publication of results, ethical conduct of research, grant preparation, and helps to build career development skills. Biostatisticians and data entry and management personnel from existing grants are available to assist T32 trainees. The centerpiece of the training is Co-Mentored research in Year 1, culminating in a Year 2 research project for which the Trainee serves as PI under Co-Mentor supervision. Our cadre of experienced and successful core faculty mentors include PI Reid (management of multifactorial pain in later life), Co-PI Prigerson (care of patients and families at end of life), Dr. Ronald Adelman (palliative care), Dr. Mark Lachs (elder abuse), Dr. Sara J. Czaja (aging and technology) and Dr. Monika Safford (healthcare equity), and Drs. Karl Pillemer and Elaine Wethington (social isolation/integration). Trainees are immediately integrated into a large, ”research-ready” network of New York City organizations serving ethnically diverse older adults. Trainee recruitment resources include featuring the program in-person and at annual, research meetings, including the Gerontological Society of America and American Academy of Hospice and Palliative Medicine. Further strengths include: (1) geriatric and social/behavioral science co- mentorship, (2) well-established infrastructure and flexible, tailored mentorship plans; (3) clearly articulated metrics to gauge progress (published papers, national presentations, funded career awards); and (4) membership in a diverse network of behavioral geriatrics researchers. Institutional strengths include an outstanding pipeline of potential trainees and multiple aging-related Center grants and R01s to support Trainees’ research. The Program produces Behavioral Geriatrics researchers trained in the synergistic disciplines of geriatric medicine and social/behavioral science, uniquely capable of addressing one of the largest challenges to public health – the aging of the population.

威尔·康奈尔（Weill Cornell）的行为老年医学博士后培训计划（TPIBG） TPIBG开发了能够进行以患者为导向研究的独立研究人员 老年人的生活质量和护理质量。行为老年医学是一种科学方向 通过老年医学方法研究临床意义和紧迫的社会/行为方法 衰老的问题（例如疼痛，认知障碍，多药，护理，临终医疗决策 - 制作，丧亲）。该计划由医学博士Cary Reid和PhD Holly Prigerson领导 和博士博士博士学生学员（2/年）寻求职业，整合生物医学和创新的社会/行为 改善老年人护理和护理结果的方法。正式的教学核心课程涵盖主题 包括临床和社会心理流行病学，基于社区的参与研究，试验设计 与对老年人的研究，科学严格和可重复性以及技术在衰老研究中的作用有关。 MD必须完成临床研究的Cornell CTSC硕士学位或证书计划 学员。学员参加每月的“进行工作”会议，并每月学员论坛提供 在介绍和发布结果，研究的道德行为，赠款准备和 有助于建立职业发展技能。生物统计学家和数据输入和管理人员 现有的赠款可以帮助T32受训者。培训的核心是在 1年级，最终在2年级的研究项目中担任学员的领导者的PI 监督。我们经验丰富且成功的核心教师导师的干部包括Pi Reid（管理 晚年的多因素疼痛），Co-Pi Prigerson（生命终结的患者和家庭的护理），Ronald博士 阿德曼（姑息治疗），马克·拉赫斯（Mark Lachs）博士（虐待老人），萨拉·J·萨贾（Sara J.
