Clinician-scientist training program in otolaryngology

 描述(由申请者提供)：耳鼻喉科的基础科学、翻译和临床研究--头颈外科正在取得显著的进步，影响着我们治疗病人的方式。促进和扩大这种患者护理改进的一个关键组成部分是促进临床医生和基础科学家之间的伙伴关系。实现这一目标的一种方法是培训更多的临床医生--科学家。在此，我们建议实施一项研究培训计划，旨在培养对研究内耳发育、再生、功能和生理学感兴趣的临床医生-科学家。我们的研究培训计划旨在为住院医师和住院医师毕业后的毕业生提供紧张的研究经验、结构化的教学计划以及如何整合临床和研究活动的密切指导和指导。受训者将根深蒂固地坚持这样一种理念，即研究是学术外科医生职业生涯的内在要素，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。如果我们的培训计划成功，我们的毕业生将成为NIDCD资助的独立研究员，担任学术部门的教职。当然，他们的最终长期目标是通过转化为临床护理的科学发现来推进我们的领域，从而改善人类健康。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): 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 achiev this is by training more clinician-scientists. Herein, we propose to implement a research training program designed to cultivate clinician-scientists who are interested in studying inner ear development, regeneration, function, and physiology. Our research training program is designed to provide residents and post-residency graduates 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 a academic surgeon's career and that they should build their career by sustaining excellence in both research and clinical care. If our training program is successful, our graduates will become independent NIDCD-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.
