PROJECT SUMMARY The mission of our multi-institutional MD/PhD Program, comprised of the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston McGovern Medical School (UTHealth) and MD Anderson Cancer Center (MDACC), and in conjunction with the University of Puerto Rico Medical Sciences Campus School of Medicine (UPR), is to pursue novel training of a diverse group of intellectually gifted students for careers as physician-scientists focused on disease-oriented research and bridging the knowledge gap between medicine and basic science. The MD/PhD program has been continuously funded since 1982 and has graduated 105 students, including a current Director of our program. To expand diversity in our physician-scientist trainees, we have partnered with the UPR, leveraging a NIH-funded MDACC/UPR U54 Partnership for Excellence in Cancer Research award to integrate into our MD/PhD Program those talented UPR medical students who want to pursue research careers, and approximately 30% of our program is underrepresented minorities (URM). Applications to our program from students from across the country have doubled over the past 10 years, allowing us to matriculate a group of highly qualified students (51 students currently in the program). To prepare physician-scientists to pursue disease-oriented research, a novel educational sequence was established to integrate the medical and graduate school. Although students begin to fulfill graduate school requirements from the very beginning of the program, they complete the clinical specialty rotations before pursuing dissertation research. Students can select from 9 graduate training programs in biomedical sciences. Support for this educational sequence is provided by the fact that, in the past 10 years, attrition from the program has been 4% and the time to completion is 7.8 years. The quality of students and the program are exemplified by strong publication records and excellent residency matches. A major element to enhance training is the Topics in Molecular Medicine course, which provides vertical integration and community for the students, exposure to the breadth and depth of research at the institutions, and insights into career development and leadership. Based on graduates over the past 15 years, the majority of our post-training trainees are in academic positions or industry (76%; n = 38; 28 academic positions + 1 in industry). MSTP support is requested for a total of 6 matriculating students per year by year 3 of the training grant period, to expand the number of students in this unique and diverse training program.

项目总结 我们由德克萨斯大学健康科学分校组成的多机构医学博士项目的使命 休斯顿麦戈文医学院(UTHealth)和MD安德森癌症中心(MDACC)的研究中心，以及 与波多黎各大学医学院(UPR)合作，将 为内科科学家的职业生涯寻求不同的智力天赋学生群体的新颖培训 侧重于以疾病为导向的研究，弥合医学和基础科学之间的知识差距。 医学博士/博士项目自1982年以来一直得到资助，已有105名学生毕业，其中包括 现任我们节目的负责人。为了扩大我们的医生-科学家实习生的多样性，我们与 UPR利用NIH资助的MDACC/UPR U54癌症研究卓越伙伴关系奖 将那些想要从事研究的有才华的UPR医学生纳入我们的MD/PhD计划 职业，我们的计划中大约30%是代表不足的少数族裔(URM)。应用程序到我们的 来自全国各地的学生的项目在过去10年中翻了一番，使我们得以入学 一群高素质的学生(目前有51名学生在这个项目中)。为内科科学家做好准备 追求以疾病为导向的研究，建立了一种新的教育序列，将医学和 研究生院。虽然学生从一开始就开始满足研究生的要求 计划，他们完成临床专业轮换，然后进行学位论文研究。学生可以 从生物医学科学的9个研究生培训项目中进行选择。对此教育序列的支持是 提供的事实是，在过去的10年里，该计划的人员流失率为4%，现在是时候 完成时间为7.8年。学生和项目的质量都体现在强劲的出版记录上 和出色的住院医生配对。加强培训的一个主要因素是分子医学的主题 这门课程为学生提供了垂直整合和社区，接触到了广度和深度 机构的研究，以及对职业发展和领导力的洞察。基于毕业生人数超过 在过去的15年里，我们培训后的学员大多在学术职位或行业(76%；n=38； 28个学术职位+1个行业职位)。申请MSTP支持的招生人数为6人。 每年的培训资助期为3年，以扩大这一独特多样的培训学员数量 程序。
