Stanford Cardiovascular Summer Research Training Program for Medical Students

项目摘要 斯坦福大学医学生心血管夏季研究培训计划的目标是 为15名一年级医学生提供有意义的为期十周的暑期研究体验 来自全国各地的心血管科学领域的专家我们的长期目标是加强 通过1）增加他们的多样性，2）让他们接触21世纪的景观， 世纪的转化医学，3）为他们提供了一个坚实的基础，在严谨性，可重复性和 负责任地进行研究。我们将通过与Meharry Medical直接合作来实现第一个目标 学院（联合PI Stephanie麦克卢尔博士）和波多黎各大学（联合PI América Facundo博士）， 为来自其机构的代表性不足的少数民族（URM）医学生提供专用轨道， 与斯坦福大学教师的研究经验。我们40-60%的实习机会将专门用于医学生 来自代表性不足的背景在招募了多样化的医学生后，我们将提供我们的 培训人员有一个全面的十周的课程，这将为他们的职业生涯作为物理学家，科学家， 心血管内科80%的实习时间将用于在实验室进行心血管研究项目。 斯坦福大学物理学家兼科学家导师。剩下的20%的时间将花在一个全面的 课程包括心血管科学研讨会、研究培训、医生-科学家职业 发展机会和社会活动。为实现第二个目标， 在转化医学研究，学生将接触到科学的机会，特别是丰富 在斯坦福大学。精准医疗、行业合作以及对临床试验的熟悉都很重要 为未来的医生科学家的研究努力的组成部分。为了实现我们的第三个目标， 在严谨性，可重复性和负责任的研究行为方面具有坚实基础的学员，我们将提供 一个专门的课程，以解决这些问题的领导下，在研究道德和 科学哲学该计划的成功和长寿将受到监测和改进，通过 一个强有力的内部和外部评估计划。该T35的项目总监和教师导师有 正在进行的最先进的心血管研究项目，涵盖基础、转化、临床和人群 级别域。他们共同拥有指导专业知识和可用资源来支持此T35 暑期研究计划，这将培养一批不同的医学生成为负责任的， 合作和创新的医学科学家。

PROJECT SUMMARY The objective of the Stanford Cardiovascular Summer Research Training Program for Medical Students is to provide meaningful ten-week summer research experiences to a diverse cohort of 15 first-year medical students from across the country in the field of cardiovascular science. Our long-term goal is to bolster the pool of physician-scientists in our workforce by 1) increasing their diversity, 2) exposing them to the landscape of 21st century translational medicine, and 3) providing them with a strong foundation in rigor, reproducibility and the responsible conduct of research. We will work toward the first goal by partnering directly with Meharry Medical College (co-PI Dr. Stephanie McClure) and the University of Puerto Rico (co-PI Dr. América Facundo) to provide a dedicated track for underrepresented minority (URM) medical students from their institutions to obtain research experiences with Stanford faculty. 40-60% of our placements will be dedicated to medical students from underrepresented backgrounds. After recruiting a diverse pool of medical students, we will provide our trainees with a comprehensive ten-week curriculum that will prepare them for careers as physician-scientists in cardiovascular medicine. 80% of trainee time will be devoted to a cardiovascular research project in the lab of a Stanford physician-scientist faculty mentor. The remaining 20% of their time will be spent in a comprehensive curriculum comprised of seminars in cardiovascular science, research training, physician-scientist career development opportunities and social events. To accomplish the second goal of preparing trainees for innovative research in translational medicine, students will be exposed to scientific opportunities that are especially enriched at Stanford. Precision medicine, industry collaborations, and familiarity with clinical trials are all important components of the research endeavors for future physician-scientists. To accomplish our third goal of providing trainees with a strong foundation in rigor, reproducibility and the responsible conduct of research, we will provide a dedicated curriculum to address these topics under the guidance of leaders in the fields of research ethics and the philosophy of science. The program’s success and longevity will be monitored and improved upon through a robust plan for internal and external evaluation. The Program Directors and faculty mentors for this T35 have ongoing state-of-the-art cardiovascular research programs spanning basic, translational, clinical, and population level domains. Together they have the mentoring expertise and the available resources to support this T35 summer research program, which will train a diverse cohort of medical students to become responsible, collaborative, and innovative physician-scientists.
