Abstract Research during the early years of medical education trains medical students in quantitative reasoning, and scientific literacy as well as expose them to mentors who have devoted their careers to investigation. It thus sharpens their understanding of the processes by which the practice of medicine develops and improves as well as stimulating their interests in research careers. The curriculum at the Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons of Columbia University now requires that all medical students produce a “Scholarly Effort” before graduation expanding our pool of applicants. Research in basic and clinical aspects of Diabetes, Endocrinology, Obesity, Kidney, Urology and Digestive Diseases is particularly strong at our medical school with 60 investigators having current RO1 grants. Over the past 4 years, 70 of our students applied each year to enter the T35 training program. While we had initially asked for an annual support of 12 students, there were many more qualified applicants and through re-budgeting of our non-training funds we were able to fund 51 students working in these areas (~13/year). The students attended weekly seminars in important topics including career development and the responsible conduct of research. In addition, we hosted a weekly journal club specific for NIDDK trainees where mentors discussed their current research using their publications in high impact journals. We acted as a regional center for medical student research in NIDDK funded fields recruiting 5 additional students who worked with our mentors. The outcomes have exceeded our expectations, since its inception in 2012, 14 of our students over this short period decided to dedicate an additional year of research to their projects; 39 of them published 90 peer-reviewed papers, 18 as first authors, and most presented their work at local, national or international meetings. The Program will be supervised by a recruitment and admission committee that will choose the students from the applicant pool, a committee that follows their progress and an internal advisory committee that helps the PI/PD in running the program. Finally, a career development committee will aid the students in making important career decision as they progress through medical school as well as evaluate the program. We are starting a new collaboration with the City University of New York where the majority of medical students are from under-represented minorities. We hope this new effort will provide a “pipeline” of such students into our program.

抽象的 医学教育早期的研究训练医学生的定量推理能力， 科学素养，并让他们接触那些致力于调查事业的导师。故此 加深他们对医学实践发展和改进过程的理解 并激发他们对研究事业的兴趣。瓦格洛斯医师学院的课程和 哥伦比亚大学的外科医生现在要求所有医学生在之前必须做出“学术努力” 毕业扩大了我们的申请者群体。糖尿病基础和临床方面的研究， 我们医学院的内分泌科、肥胖科、肾脏科、泌尿科和消化疾病科尤为强大 60 名研究人员拥有当前 RO1 资助。在过去的 4 年里，每年都有 70 名学生申请 进入T35培训计划。虽然我们最初要求每年支持 12 名学生，但 更多合格的申请者，通过重新预算我们的非培训资金，我们能够资助 51 在这些领域工作的学生（约 13 名/年）。学生们每周参加重要主题的研讨会 包括职业发展和负责任的研究行为。此外，我们还主办了一份周刊 专门针对 NIDDK 学员的俱乐部，导师们在其中使用他们的出版物讨论他们当前的研究 高影响力期刊。我们是 NIDDK 资助领域的医学生研究区域中心 招募另外 5 名与我们导师一起工作的学生。结果超出了我们的预期， 自 2012 年启动以来，我们的 14 名学生在短时间内决定再投入一年的时间 研究他们的项目；其中 39 人发表了 90 篇同行评审论文，其中 18 人为第一作者，大多数为 在地方、国家或国际会议上展示他们的工作。该计划将由 招生和录取委员会将从申请者库中选择学生，该委员会 跟踪他们的进展以及帮助 PI/PD 运行该计划的内部咨询委员会。最后， 职业发展委员会将帮助学生在进步过程中做出重要的职业决定 通过医学院以及评估该计划。我们正在与市政府开始新的合作 纽约大学的大多数医学生来自代表性不足的少数族裔。我们希望 这项新的努力将为此类学生提供进入我们项目的“渠道”。
