Otolaryngology Clinician-Scientist Training Program

项目总结/摘要 耳鼻咽喉-头颈外科的基础科学、转化和临床研究正在使 影响我们治疗病人方式的重大进步。滋养和扩张的关键组成部分 病人护理的这种改进是为了促进临床医生和基础科学家的伙伴关系。的一种方法 要做到这一点，就要培养更多的临床科学家。在此，我们建议实施耳鼻喉科 旨在培养临床科学家的研究培训计划。我们的耳鼻喉科临床医生-科学家 培训计划旨在为住院医师和医学生提供紧张的研究经验， 结构化的教学计划，以及如何整合临床和研究的密切指导和指导 活动受训者将被灌输这样一种哲学，即研究是学术外科医生的内在价值。 他们应该通过在研究和临床护理方面保持卓越来建立自己的职业生涯。我们 将从代表性不足的群体中大量招募学员。如果我们的培训计划成功，我们的毕业生 将成为独立的NIH资助的研究人员在学术部门的教师职位。最终 当然，他们的长期目标是通过科学发现来推进我们的领域，从而改善人类健康 转化为临床护理。

Project Summary/Abstract Basic science, translational, and clinical research in Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery is making remarkable advances that affect the way we treat patients. A critical component of nourishing and expanding such improvements in patient care is to facilitate the partnership of clinicians and basic scientists. One way to achieve this is by training more clinician-scientists. Herein, we propose to implement an otolaryngology research training program designed to cultivate clinician-scientists. Our Otolaryngology Clinician-Scientist Training Program is designed to provide residents and medical students with intense research experiences, a structured didactic program, and close mentorship and guidance in how to integrate clinical and research activities. Trainees will be ingrained with the philosophy that research is intrinsic to an academic surgeon’s career and that they should build their career by sustaining excellence in both research and clinical care. We will heavily recruit trainees from underrepresented groups. If our training program is successful, our graduates will become independent NIH-funded investigators in faculty positions in academic departments. The ultimate long-term goal, of course, is for them to improve human health by advancing our field via scientific discovery that is translated to clinical care.
