Adolescent Health Training Program

这是第一次提交青少年健康第四周期竞争性延期申请。 约翰霍普金斯医学院的推广研究培训项目。该计划的目标是 为青少年医学博士后提供性健康和生殖健康研究培训 医生虽然在利用有效的干预措施解决高风险方面取得了一些重大成功， 青少年和青年人性健康和生殖健康发病率， 美国的年轻人之间存在差距。这是由于劳动力短缺的个人， 接受过青少年健康方面的培训，掌握使用科学证据确保健康过渡的专业技能 从青年到成年青少年医学专家，在临床上与AYA接触的医生 还必须在制定和实施新的预防战略方面发挥领导作用， 有效预防性传播感染、艾滋病毒和意外怀孕。这要求医生批判性地理解 促进青少年的生物心理社会发展，并利用 与护士，心理学家，流行病学家，行为，社会和基础科学家合作，以及 统计学家。我们创造了一个互动的，跨学科的，团队科学的培训环境，使用成人 促进医生和研究科学家在相关领域有效参与的学习模式 纪律，以促进我们的学员的发展。在过去的十年里，我们成功地招募了 保留了多元化的研究员队伍，其中大部分是女性，一半来自代表性不足的少数族裔 组在上一个周期获得赠款的研究员中，100%完成了高级研究生课程 在彭博公共卫生学院，80%的人进入该计划或正式获得高级 学位，所有尝试子专业认证委员会的毕业生都取得了成功，所有 毕业生在奖学金完成后受雇于相关领域，最近有两名毕业生接受了NIH K23的指导 奖在这些成功的基础上，我们现在请求追加五年的资金，以继续支持 每年三名研究员。约翰霍普金斯大学的青少年健康促进培训项目是 唯一有资格开发和维护这样一个程序，因为我们单位的积极研究计划， 我们的核心教师的质量，我们以前的学员的成功成果，基础设施，资源， 环境可促进研究发展，以及不断涌入的聪明敬业的医生 致力于青少年医学事业。我们的计划还强调创新的交叉点， 性健康和生殖健康以及青少年的社会生态，以根据国家健康目标减少健康差距。

This is the first submission of this application for competitive renewal of the fourth cycle of the Adolescent Health Promotion Research Training Program at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. The goal of the program is to provide training in sexual and reproductive health (SRH) research to post-doctoral Adolescent Medicine physicians. While there has been some major success in utilizing effective interventions to address the high rates of SRH morbidity among adolescents and young adults (AYA), significant age- and racial-ethnic health disparities exist for youth in the United States. This is compounded by workforce shortages of individuals who are trained in Adolescent Health with specialized skills to use scientific evidence to ensure the healthy transition of youth into adulthood. Adolescent Medicine specialists, physicians who have contact with AYA in clinical settings, must also serve as leaders in the development and implementation of new prevention strategies to effectively prevent STIs, HIV, and unplanned pregnancy. This requires physicians to critically understand the biopsychosocial development of adolescents and to build upon scientific advancements derived through collaboration with nurses, psychologists, epidemiologists, behavioral, social, and basic scientists, and statisticians. We have created an interactive, interdisciplinary, team-science training environment using an adult learning model that facilitates effective engagement of physicians and research scientists across pertinent disciplines to foster the development of our trainees. Over the last decade, we have successfully recruited and retained a diverse pool of fellows, most of whom are women and half are from under-represented minority groups. Of the fellows appointed to the grant in the last cycle, 100% completed advanced graduate coursework at the Bloomberg School of Public Health and 80% entered the program with or formally obtained advanced degrees, all fellow graduates who attempted subspecialty certification boards have been successful, all graduates were employed in a related field at fellowship completion, and two recently received NIH K23 mentored awards. Based on these successes, we now request an additional five years of funding to continue to support three fellows per year. The Adolescent Health Promotion Training program at Johns Hopkins University is uniquely qualified to develop and maintain such a program given the active research programs in our unit, the quality of our core faculty, the successful outcomes of our previous trainees, the infrastructure, resources, and environment available to foster research development, and the continuous influx of bright dedicated physicians committed to careers in Adolescent Medicine. Our program also emphasizes innovation at the intersection of SRH and the social ecology of adolescence to reduce health disparities in line with national health objectives.
