Otolaryngology Clinician-Scientist Training Program

项目摘要/摘要 耳鼻喉科的基础科学、翻译和临床研究--头颈部外科正在取得进展 显著的进步影响了我们治疗病人的方式。滋补扩容的重要组成部分 在病人护理方面的这种改进是为了促进临床医生和基础科学家之间的合作。一种方法 要做到这一点，需要培训更多的临床医生和科学家。在此，我们建议实施耳鼻咽喉科 旨在培养临床医生-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生和医学生提供紧张的研究体验， 结构化的教学计划，以及在如何整合临床和研究方面的密切指导和指导 活动。受训人员将根深蒂固地接受这样一种理念，即研究是学术外科医生固有的 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受训人员。如果我们的培训计划成功，我们的毕业生 将成为美国国立卫生研究院资助的独立调查人员，担任学术部门的教职。终极的 当然，他们的长期目标是通过科学发现推进我们的领域，从而改善人类健康。 这就转化为临床护理。

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.
