Training in Musculoskeletal Science

罗切斯特大学名为“罗切斯特肌肉骨骼(ROCMSK)训练计划”的项目 医学中心旨在提供肌肉骨骼学的跨学科教学和研究培训 科学。ROCMSK培训计划的总体目标是培养未来一代 跨学科的肌肉骨骼科学家和创新领导者。该计划将在 罗切斯特大学肌肉骨骼研究中心(CMSR)，并高度集成了21个 协作教员，在7个学术和临床科室担任主要职务。ROCMSK建议 4名博士后和2名博士后实习生的名额。这里详细介绍的教育计划确保了 全面了解肌肉骨骼科学，所有CMSR学员均可无缝访问 在每个学术水平上。培训经验旨在建立从大多数领域的能力 基础分子和遗传学研究，用于设计和执行人类临床试验。CMSR和 联合培训教师代表了一群高度整合的导师，他们提供研究培训 骨生物与疾病、软骨机械生物学、关节炎和再生治疗的机会， 肌腱发展，修复和再生工程，肌肉生物学和疾病，药物输送， 骨折修复与骨组织工程、肌肉骨骼感染、干细胞与肌肉骨骼 发展与再生生物学、骨癌生物学与治疗学。被录取的博士后 学员进入罗切斯特大学6个授予学位的系和项目之一。 在ROCMSK导师实验室匹配后，符合培训资助条件(TGE)的学生可以申请T32奖项 如果选中，则可以加入该计划。TGE博士后将由ROCMSK导师招聘，之后他们 是否立即获得T32培训席位的资格。由MPI团队领导的监督委员会的层级是 组织有效地管理所有培训活动。ROCMSK培训将强调基础和翻译 通过：专门为肌肉骨骼科学设计的当代课程活动进行科学教育； 通过博士论文和博士后项目追求创新研究经验，重点是 论科学严谨性与生物医学伦理；利用循证的个性化发展计划 职业规划方法；通过每月邀请演讲者研讨会提供广泛的网络机会 和年度研讨会；以及通过对出版物和 在国家会议上的发言。这些活动在中心内正在进行，但将得到加强 通过ROCMSK，将吸引优秀的年轻科学家参加该计划。总体而言，培训实现了 通过ROCMSK，包括专注于指导学员获得独立资金，将是一个 发展成为高度成功、协作的肌肉骨骼研究人员的跳板 将基本发现转化为人类疗法。

The program entitled “Rochester Musculoskeletal (ROCMSK) Training Program” at the University of Rochester Medical Center is designed to providing interdisciplinary didactic and research training in musculoskeletal science. The overarching aim of ROCMSK Training Program is to develop future generations of interdisciplinary musculoskeletal scientists and leaders of innovations. The program will be administered in The Center for Musculoskeletal Research (CMSR) at the University of Rochester and integrates 21 highly- collaborative faculty with primary appointments in 7 academic and clinical departments. ROCMSK proposes slots for 4 predoctoral and 2 postdoctoral trainees. The education program detailed herein ensures a comprehensive understanding of musculoskeletal science that is seamlessly accessible to all CMSR trainees at every academic level. The training experience aims to build competency in areas ranging from the most basic molecular and genetic studies to the design and execution of human clinical trials. The CMSR and associated training faculty represent a highly integrated group of Mentors that provide research training opportunities in Bone Biology and Disease, Cartilage Mechanobiology, Arthritis, and Regenerative Therapies, Tendon Development, Repair and Regenerative Engineering, Muscle Biology and Disease, Drug Delivery, Fracture Repair and Bone Tissue Engineering, Musculoskeletal Infection, Stem Cells and Musculoskeletal Development and Regenerative Biology, and Skeletal Cancer Biology and Therapeutics. Accepted predoctoral trainees matriculate into one of 6 degree-awarding departments and programs at the University of Rochester. After matching in a ROCMSK mentor lab, Training grant eligible (TGE) students can apply for a T32 award and, if selected, can join the Program. TGE Postdocs will be recruited by ROCMSK mentors, after which they are immediately T32 training seat eligible. A hierarchy of oversight committees led by the MPI team are organized to efficiently manage all training activities. ROCMSK training will emphasize basic and translational science education through: contemporary curricular activities specifically designed for musculoskeletal science; innovative research experiences pursued through PhD dissertations and post-doctoral projects with emphasis on scientific rigor and biomedical ethics; individualized development plans that utilize evidence-based approaches for career planning; expansive networking opportunities through monthly invited-speaker seminars and an annual symposium; and scientific communication through formal expectations of publications and presentations at national meetings. These activities, which are ongoing within the Center but will be enhanced through ROCMSK, will attract outstanding young scientists to the program. Overall, the training enabled through ROCMSK, which includes a focus on mentoring trainees towards independent funding, will be a springboard to development into highly successful, collaborative musculoskeletal investigators empowered to translate basic discoveries into human therapies.
