Training Program in Cardiac Innovation

项目摘要 心血管疾病在美国人口中一直是衰弱和死亡的主要来源 尽管预防、诊断和治疗选择增加了。这种情况要求加强科学研究， 理解并创新地将这些发现应用于患者的护理，以预防或治疗心脏病 疾病这项心血管创新培训计划旨在教授科学和技术技能， 有必要发展一个新的想法，并将这个想法通过人类的概念证明。培训计划 利用明尼苏达大学心血管学院Lillehei心脏研究所的优势， 司，更广泛的社区转化医学和企业家精神在明尼苏达大学， 双城生物科技制药和设备行业该应用程序将培训基础和临床科学家， 一个跨学科的环境，目标是让他们的洞察力和工具，能够成功地进行 一个从概念到人的实施的想法。因此，这个新的培训计划的主要目标是 提供一个跨学科的研究和培训环境，使学员能够接触到连续体 从概念到基本测试，小动物，大动物和人类的技术发展 程度.受训者将通过基础，转化和临床科学培训的社区优势进行培训 心血管创新和创业精神，以及行业互动和指导。有几 该培训计划的独特之处：1）专注于心血管科学，2）其科学资格 培训师，3）专注于创新的课程，4）行业导师的存在，以及5） 有意义的行业互动。该计划将包括一个基本的心血管课程， 心血管创新的特殊训练。每个学员都必须参加巴肯创新 研究员方案。该计划的目标是通过培养领导力和培养医疗技术的下一个领导者， 教授医学创新的风险管理学员还将参加卡尔森商学院的 管理医疗行业领导研究所（MILI）计划。MILI为学生提供创新的培训， 知识和经验，通过行业特定的课程和独特的，动手评估新兴的 来自地球仪的技术。学员须修读四项由 技术领导力研究所：1）创新，领导力和沟通，2）如何创造和激励 创新文化，3）技术环境中的沟通：发展写作和表达技能， 以及4）年度创新研讨会“成为医疗技术创新者”。“学员将参加一个 至少3年的研究培训。头两年的培训将是创新和其他教学法 以及进行研究。第三年将主要致力于制定相关的业务计划 并为职业发展写一份适当的资助申请。对于PhD，这将包括 K99/R 01奖学金申请，对于MD学员，申请将用于K 08或K23计划。

Project Summary Cardiovascular disease in the American population is continuously a major source of debilitation and death despite increased prevention, diagnostic, and treatment options. This situation calls for increased scientific understanding and innovative application of these findings to the care of patients in order to prevent or cure heart disease. This training program in cardiovascular innovation is designed to teach the scientific and technical skills necessary to develop a novel idea and carry this idea through to proof of concept in man. The training program takes unique advantage of the strengths of the Lillehei Heart Institute, the University of Minnesota Cardiovascular Division, the wider community of translational medicine and entrepreneurship at the University of Minnesota, and the Twin Cities biotech, pharma, and device industries. This application will train basic and clinical scientists in an interdisciplinary environment with the goal of giving them the insight and tools to be able to successfully carry an idea from conception to implementation in man. Therefore, the major goal of this new Training Program is to provide an interdisciplinary research and training environment wherein trainees will be exposed to the continuum of technological development from conceptual idea to testing at the basic, small animal, large animal, and human levels. Trainees will be advantaged by community strengths in basic, translational, and clinical science, training in cardiovascular innovation and entrepreneurship, and industry interactions and mentorship. There are several unique features of this training program: 1) a focus on cardiovascular sciences, 2) scientific qualification of its Trainers, 3) curriculum focused on innovation, 4) presence of industry mentors, and 5) an opportunity for meaningful industry interactions. The program will consist of a basic cardiovascular curriculum augmented by specific training in cardiovascular innovation. Each trainee will be required to participate in the Bakken Innovation Fellows Program. The goal of this program is to train the next leaders in medtech by fostering leadership and teaching risk management for medical innovations. Trainees will also partake of the Carlson School of Management Medical Industry Leadership Institute (MILI) program. MILI offers students innovative training, knowledge, and experiences through industry-specific courses and unique, hands-on evaluations of emerging technologies from around the globe. Trainees will be required to take 4 relevant half-day courses offered by the Technological Leadership Institute: 1) Innovation, Leadership & Communication, 2) How to Create and Stimulate a Culture of Innovation, 3) Communication in a Technical Environment: Developing Writing and Presenting Skills, and 4) the yearly Innovation Workshop "Becoming a Medical Technology Innovator." Trainees will engage in a minimum of 3 years of research training. The first two years of training will be for innovation and other didactics and for carrying out the research. Year 3 will be dedicated predominantly to developing a business plan related to the project and writing an appropriate grant application for career advancement. For PhDs, this would consist of a K99/R01 award application, and for MD trainees, the application would be for the K08 or K23 programs.
