Short-Term Training of Students in Health Professional Schools

我们要求在纽约州立大学学院继续T35培训计划 已经存在了30多年的验光。该计划的目的是向视光专业的学生介绍 全职参与基础、转译和临床验光和视觉科学研究，为期10周 在我们杰出的研究教员的13名成员之一指导的一个研究项目中。研究 培训课程包括细胞生物学、眼部药理学、视觉心理物理学、计算机 建模、视觉神经科学、神经再生、神经保护、光学和临床视觉科学。在……里面 除了研究，学员还将参加研究座谈会、研究生研讨会、期刊俱乐部和一门关于 科学伦理与负责任的研究行为。预计这一经历将提供 具有技术和解决问题能力的受训者，这将激励他们将视觉研究作为一个整体 这是他们未来作为验光师职业生涯的重要组成部分。在最有利的情况下，动力十足 实习生将选择通过进入OD-MS或OD-博士毕业生组合来继续他们的研究 在视觉科学课程，从而获得临床和研究学位。培训将是 在50,000平方米内进行英国《金融时报》最先进的基础、翻译和临床研究空间 上大学。学院还维护免费的计算机、电子、图形和广泛的图书馆设施 对实习生开放。受训学员将包括来自本港任何一所验光学院的视光学生。 完成专业课程第一年或第二年并表现出色的美国人 学术成就。培训计划致力于为学员提供临床医生/研究人员的界面 对于将最新的科学发现带到临床上是至关重要的。这种体验的目的是提供 学生，以及后来成为医生的知识和技能，以便继续研究并提供 为患者提供最新、最理想的视力治疗和护理。

We request a continuation of the T35 Training Program at the State University of New York College of Optometry that has existed for over 30 years. The purpose of the program is to introduce optometry students to basic, translational, and clinical optometric and vision science research by participating full-time for ten weeks in a research project mentored by one of the 13 members of our distinguished research faculty. Research programs of the training faculty include cell biology, ocular pharmacology, visual psychophysics, computational modeling, visual neuroscience, neuroregeneration, neuroprotection, optics, and clinical vision science. In addition to research, trainees will attend research colloquia, graduate seminars, journal clubs, and a course in Scientific Ethics and the Responsible Conduct of Research. It is expected that this experience will provide trainees with both technical and problem solving skills that will inspire them to include vision research as one important component of their future career as optometrists. In the most favorable scenario, highly motivated trainees will choose to continue their research by entering the combined O.D.-M.S. or O.D.-Ph.D. graduate programs in Vision Science and thereby obtain both a clinical and a research degree. The training will be conducted within the 50,000 sq. ft. of state-of-the-art basic, translational, and clinical research space at the College. The College also maintains computer, electronic, graphic, and extensive library facilities that are freely available to the trainees. Trainees will consist of optometry students from any of the schools of optometry in the US who have completed their first or second year of the professional program and have shown high academic achievement. The Training Program strives to provide trainees the clinician/researcher interface that is essential to bringing the latest scientific discoveries to the clinic. This experience is aimed at providing students, and later to be doctors, the knowledge and skillset to both continue in research and to provide the latest and most optimal vision treatment and care to their patients.
