Postdoctoral Training Grant for MDs in Surgical Oncology Research

项目总结/摘要 接受过外科肿瘤学研究培训的医生人数不足， 考虑到大多数实体瘤患者接受手术作为其临床治疗的一部分， 管理改善这些病人的护理符合NCI的利益。至关重要 更多的外科医生参与以病人为导向的研究，其他医生接受培训， 与癌症患者的外科治疗相关的肿瘤学研究。三项目标 1）增加训练有素的外科医生和附属医生的数量 2）加强研究培训的深度， 外科医生在研究培训期间提供高级学位，以及3）增加 少数族裔和女外科医生在外科肿瘤学学术实践中的人数。学员 将参加两个研究轨道之一：转化实验室科学（TLS），临床 肿瘤学科学（CSO）。这些轨道将是结构化的，并将包括相关的 课程和适当的导师。但是，将有灵活性，包括在其他培训， 研究领域和其他研究相关的技能，这将增加学员的教育 经验具有至少两年临床培训的外科住院医师将被录取 该计划，和其他非手术，但肿瘤相关的MD/DO学员可能会被录取 但将填补不超过25%的实习生职位。任何一个培训班总共将有四名学员 给你时间学员将进入一个专门的，2-3年的培训期，其中将包括一个核心 与实体瘤肿瘤学相关的研究项目，以及与他们的研究相匹配的课程 轨道，与临床研究硕士学位或博士学位的选择。重点将是 放置在学习技能所需的终身职业生涯的研究结合学术临床 实践这些将包括研究道德，赠款写作，研究设计，数据分析， 预算、手稿写作和压力管理。通过这种方法，一群年轻的，好- 将培养训练有素的外科医生和相关医生，他们将拥有执行这些任务的工具， 以人类肿瘤为中心的高质量、伦理、转化和临床研究 肿瘤学

Project Summary / Abstract The number of physicians trained to perform surgical oncology research is inadequate when considering that most patients with solid tumors undergo surgery as part of their clinical management. Improving the care of these patients is in the interests of the NCI. It is critical that more surgeons are involved in patient-oriented research and that other physicians be trained in oncology research related to the surgical management of cancer patients. The three objectives of this application are 1) To increase the number of well-trained surgeons and affiliated physicians who perform patient-oriented cancer research, 2) To enhance the depth of research training of surgeons by offering advanced degrees during their research training, and 3) To increase the number of minority and female surgeons in the academic practice of surgical oncology. Trainees will be enrolled in one of two research tracks: Translational Laboratory Science (TLS), Clinical Science in Oncology (CSO). These tracks will be structured and will include associated curriculum, and appropriate mentors. However, there will be flexibility to include training in other research areas and in other research-related skills, which will augment the trainees’ educational experiences. Surgical residents with a minimum of two years of clinical training will be admitted to the program, and other non-surgical, yet oncologically related MD/DO trainees may be admitted but will fill no more than 25% of the trainee positions. There will be a total of four trainees at any given time. Trainees will enter a dedicated, 2-3 year training period that will include a core research project related to solid tumor oncology, plus coursework selected to match their research track, with the option for a Master’s degree in Clinical Research or PhD. Strong emphasis will be placed on learning skills required for life-long careers in research combined with academic clinical practice. These will include research ethics, grant writing, research design, data analysis, budgeting, manuscript writing, and stress management. By this approach, a cohort of young, well- trained surgeons and associated physicians will be developed who will have the tools to perform high quality, ethical, translational and clinical research specifically centered on human tumor oncology.
