Medical Scientist Training Program

项目总结 爱荷华大学医学科学家培训计划(MSTP)已成功地为学生 自1977年作为NIH资助的MSTP成立以来，它一直是作为内科科学家的职业。的目标是 MSTP将招聘、培养和毕业一批训练有素的内科科学家 过渡到成功职业生涯所需的技术、操作和专业技能 生物医学研究队伍。这一目标是通过综合课程来实现的，该课程 科学与临床相结合，不断强调科学与医学的交叉。 学生完成1.5年的临床前医学课程，4至5年的研究生培训，以及 大约1.5年的临床助理工作，以满足医学博士和博士学位的要求。 我们为我们的毕业生定义了七个具体的目标，这些目标是在我们的 以证据为基础的评价过程。完成MSTP后，应届毕业生将能够： 1)将科学和医学的知识基础结合起来，奠定坚实的基础；2)整合 研究中的批判性思维、推理和严谨；3)在研究和研究中表现出正直 临床实践；4)展示口头和书面沟通技能；5)认识到 多样性、公平和包容性；在多样化的专业环境中有效工作，展示 尊重个体差异；6)在研究和临床护理方面表现出领导力；7) 了解内科科学家职业选择的多样性。爱荷华州大学MSTP由联合PI领导 史蒂文·伦茨，医学博士(主任)和帕梅拉·盖耶博士(联席主任) 热衷于指导和培训内科医生-科学家。该计划包含特定的课程作业 和活动贯穿整个学习过程，以提供整合和丰富的课程和 培养计划认同感、专业性、团队合作、沟通、职业发展技能，以及 在过渡期间对学生进行指导。该项目拥有87名才华横溢、多元化的教职员工 他们提供了令人兴奋的研究培训机会。学生广泛参与MSTP 领导力，担任高管成员，招生，MSTP星期一，研讨会，务虚会， 健康和妇女团体委员会。该计划得到了来自 卡弗医学院和研究生院的院长，他们将MSTP作为推动者 用于大学在研究、教育和服务方面的创新。爱荷华州大学MSTP目前有73个 受训人员，其中43%是妇女，18%来自医学界代表性不足的群体。大多数人 我们的毕业生中有80%的人在主要的学术医学中心或研究机构工作。 此申请要求每年支持18名学员，反映了我们的实力和成果 培训计划。

PROJECT SUMMARY The University of Iowa Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP) has successfully prepared students for careers as physician-scientists since its inception as an NIH-funded MSTP in 1977. The goal of the MSTP is to recruit, nurture, and graduate a diverse pool of well-trained physician-scientists with the technical, operational, and professional skills necessary to transition into successful careers in the biomedical research workforce. This goal is achieved through an integrated curriculum that assimilates scientific and clinical training, constantly emphasizing the intersections between science and medicine. Students complete 1.5 years of pre-clinical medical coursework, 4 to 5 years of graduate training, and approximately 1.5 years of clinical clerkships to fulfill the requirements for both the MD and PhD degrees. We have defined seven specific objectives for our graduating students, which are measured in our evidenced-based evaluation process. Upon completion of the MSTP, graduating students will be able to: 1) Combine the knowledge bases of science and medicine to establish a strong foundation; 2) Integrate critical thinking, reasoning and rigor in the conduct of research; 3) Demonstrate integrity in research and clinical practice; 4) Demonstrate skills in oral and written communication; 5) Recognize the importance of diversity, equity and inclusion; work effectively in a diverse professional environment, demonstrating respect for individual differences; 6) Demonstrate leadership in research and clinical care; and 7) Understand the diversity of career options for physician scientists. The U of Iowa MSTP is led by Co-PIs Steven Lentz, MD, PhD (Director) and Pamela Geyer, PhD (Co-Director) who share a long-standing passion for mentoring and training physician-scientists. The Program incorporates specific coursework and activities throughout the course of study to provide integration and enrichment of the curriculum and foster program identity, professionalism, teamwork, communication, career development skills, and mentorship of students during transitions. The Program has 87 talented and diverse faculty members who provide exciting research training opportunities. Students are extensively involved in MSTP leadership, serving as members on the Executive, Admissions, MSTP Mondays, Seminar, Retreat, Wellness, and Women's Group committees. The Program enjoys strong institutional support from the Deans of the Carver College of Medicine and the Graduate College, who promote the MSTP as a driver for innovation in research, education and service at the university. The U of Iowa MSTP currently has 73 trainees, of which 43% are women and 18% are from groups underrepresented in medicine. The majority of our graduates have gone on to careers at major academic medical centers or research institutions. This application requests support for 18 trainees per year, reflecting the strength and outcomes of our training program.
