Medical Genetics Training Grant

约翰霍普金斯大学医学遗传学T32博士后培训计划的总体目标是 招聘和培养有潜力成为遗传学领域领导者的内科科学家 医学。我们的计划旨在让学员接触到现代医学遗传学和基因组学的方方面面 从研究项目延伸到病人护理。这一博士后培训经验强调被指导 医学遗传学和基因组学研究，并为受训人员在学术医学领域的职业生涯做准备。自.以来 我们的学员大多是医生，我们利用医生-科学家培训模式来弥合 遗传学研究和临床医学。 约翰斯·霍普金斯在遗传特征的分类和图谱方面发挥了领导作用，该应用程序 基因组和计算方法对基因及其在人类中的作用的识别和理解 疾病，以及孟德尔障碍和多因素障碍的临床研究、诊断和治疗 具有显著的遗传贡献。麦库西克-纳桑斯遗传医学部(DGM)， 负责监督人类和医学遗传学方面的临床、教育和研究活动 在约翰霍普金斯大学医学院。 这个T32医学遗传学博士后培训项目在支持下已经运行了44年 来自NIGMS。指导研究培训被整合到医学遗传学住院医生中，这是专门设计的 优化利用约翰霍普金斯大学丰富的临床和研究资源及培训环境 并支持我们的实习生作为内科科学家的职业发展。随后进行临床遗传学培训 通过一段时间的强化研究培训，并在此T32培训的支持下最大限度地保护研究时间 格兰特。研究培训由精心挑选的研究导师主持，并由 研究委员会。成功完成本课程后，学员将有资格获得 美国临床遗传学医学遗传学委员会，并拥有丰富的研究经验和专业知识 作为内科科学家开始独立的职业生涯。我们的培训计划有着出色的记录 培养对医学领域做出重大贡献并将继续做出重大贡献的医学科学家 医学遗传学。在过去的10年里，我们的学员平均有4.5篇来自T32的同行评议的出版物 支持培训，我们绝大多数(80%)的毕业生选择了以研究为中心或与研究相关的课程 学术机构的职位。URM实习生在我们的培训计划中有很好的代表性。我们现在有了 优化综合课程，结合医学遗传学的临床和研究培训，扩展 通过发展与儿科相结合的方案，使学员群体和培训资源多样化，内部 医学、MFM、REI和与NHGRI的培训联盟，并建立了结构化研究奖学金，以 支持个人实习生的兴趣和职业目标，推动他们作为内科科学家的职业生涯。

The overall goals of the T32 Postdoctoral Training Program in Medical Genetics at Johns Hopkins are to recruit and educate physician-scientists who have the potentials to become leaders in the field of Genetic Medicine. Our program is designed to expose trainees to all facets of modern medical genetics and genomics extending from research programs to patient care. This postdoctoral training experience emphasizes mentored research in medical genetics and genomics, and prepares trainees for a career in academic medicine. Since the majority of our trainees are physicians, we utilize a physician-scientist training model to bridge the gap between genetics research and clinical medicine. Johns Hopkins provides leadership in the categorization and mapping of inherited traits, the application of genomic and computational methods to the identification and understanding of genes and their roles in human diseases, and in clinical research, diagnosis, and treatment of Mendelian disorders and multifactorial disorders with significant genetic contributions. The McKusick-Nathans Department of Genetic Medicine (DGM), the home of this training program, oversees the clinical, educational, and research activities in human and medical genetics at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. This T32 postdoctoral training program in medical genetics is in its 44th year of operation with supports from NIGMS. The mentored research training is integrated into a medical genetics residency, which is designed to optimize the utilization of the rich clinical and research resources and training environments at Johns Hopkins and support the career development as physician scientists for our trainees. Clinical genetics training is followed by a period of intensive research training with maximally protected research time supported by this T32 training grant. The research training is under the auspices of a carefully selected research mentors and monitored by a research committee. After a successfully completion of this program, trainees are eligible for certification by the American Board of Medical Genetics in clinical genetics and possess strong research experiences and expertise to embark on independent career as physician-scientists. Our training program has an outstanding track record of educating physician-scientists who have made and continue to make substantial contributions to the field of medical genetics. Over the last 10 years, our trainees had an average 4.5 peer-reviewed publications from T32 supported training and the vast majority (>80%) of our graduates took research-centered or research-related positions at academic institutions. URM trainees are well represented in our training program. We have now optimized integrated curriculums that combine clinical and research training in medical genetics, expanded diversified trainee populations and training resources by developing combined programs with pediatrics, internal medicine, MFM, REI, and a training consortium with NHGRI, and established structured research fellowships to support the interests and career goals of individual trainees to advance their careers as physician scientists.
