Dermatology Scientist Training Program

项目摘要/摘要 加州大学洛杉矶分校大卫·格芬医学院拟议的T32皮肤病科学家培训计划是 旨在培养优秀的博士后(仅限医学科学家培训计划[MSTP]候选人)和 皮肤科学术研究生涯的博士后实习生(医学博士、博士和医学博士/博士) 全国范围内内科科学家的数量正在下降。在最初的5年期间，有2名博士前和2名 每年的博士后实习生，每个人的任期为2年或3年，研究时间受保护， 这一新的培训方案将满足各种研究领域对研究性培训的迫切需求。 关于皮肤生物学，包括免疫学、新陈代谢和计算生物学，增强 加州大学洛杉矶分校的合作基础和翻译研究。为了回应这一需求，跨学科 新计划的课程和指导研究机会将科学专业知识和 33名高素质多学科教师的指导经验，他们致力于协作、团队和 以科学为基础。新的职业发展计划将利用加州大学洛杉矶分校MSTP的资源， 专业培训和高级研究(STAR)计划，以及翻译科学培训计划 作为核心课程。加州大学洛杉矶分校皮肤科T32项目的目标是：i)扩大多学科 皮肤科知识基础，因为它涉及皮肤病的不同方面；ii)提供教学和 皮肤病研究的智力和哲学基础方面的实践研究培训 在更广泛的临床-翻译研究企业中；iii)培养学员的科学写作技能 出版物和赠款；四)提供学术环境，促进研究技能的发展 和成功的、独立的医学科学生涯所需的经验；以及，v)模型 促进学员发展的研究赋权教学和指导技能，包括他们最终的 复制皮肤生物学方面的研究教育、培训和职业发展计划作为他们的职业 进化成稳定的、科学的独立。总体而言，拟议的T32开辟了一个独特的利基市场，不仅在 加州大学洛杉矶分校的健康科学培训/职业发展企业作为一个综合计划，专注于 基础科学家和内科科学家研究皮肤病，也在NIAMS支持的T32中 通过创新地利用大学范围内的项目The STAR在全国范围内开展皮肤科项目 计划，以发展内科科学家的职业生涯，结合临床和研究培训。

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The proposed T32 Dermatology Scientist Training Program at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA is designed to prepare outstanding predoctoral (Medical Scientist Training Program [MSTP] candidates only) and postdoctoral trainees (MD, PhD, and MD/PhD) for academic research careers in Dermatology at a time of declining numbers of physician-scientists nationwide. During the initial 5-year period, with 2 predoctoral and 2 postdoctoral trainees per year, each for a 2- or, if indicated, 3-year appointment with protected research time, this new training program will fill a critical need for research training in a diverse range of research areas pertaining to skin biology, including immunology, metabolism, and computational biology, enhancing collaborative basic and translational research at UCLA. In response to this need, the interdisciplinary curriculum and mentored research opportunities of the new program interweave the scientific expertise and mentoring experience of 33 high-quality multidisciplinary faculty who are committed to collaborative, team- based science. The new career development program will leverage the resources of the UCLA MSTP, Specialty Training and Advanced Research (STAR) Program, and Training Program in Translational Science for the core curriculum. The aims of the UCLA Dermatology T32 program are to: i) expand the multidisciplinary knowledge base of dermatology as it relates to different aspects of skin diseases; ii) provide didactic and hands-on research training in the intellectual and philosophical foundation of dermatological investigation within the broader clinical-translational research enterprise; iii) develop trainees' scientific writing skills for publications and grants; iv) provide an academic environment that enables development of the research skills and experience needed for successful, independent scientific careers in academic medicine; and, v) model research-empowering teaching and mentoring skills for trainees' development, including their eventual replication of research education, training, and career development programs in skin biology as their careers evolve into stable, scientific independence. Overall, the proposed T32 carves out a unique niche not only within the health sciences training/career development enterprise at UCLA as an integrated program focused on both basic scientists and physician scientists in investigative dermatology but also among NIAMS-supported T32 programs in dermatology nationwide through its innovative leveraging of a university-wide program, the STAR Program, to develop the careers of physician scientists, combining clinical and research training.
