University of MIami Neurosurgery eDucation Strategy UMINDS

项目摘要 迈阿密大学神经外科教育战略（UMINDS）的总体目标是 促进我们计划中研究科学家的发展，并帮助他们为职业生涯做好准备 作为一个独立的NIH资助的研究员。拟议的计划利用大学范围内 在神经科学和神经生物学的倡议，形成一个跨学科的导师组，从 迈阿密大学的多个系。该计划将由一组临床医生领导， 拥有丰富的住院医师教育记录和独立神经外科基金的科学家 （艾伦·D. Levi，MD PhD; Malcolm R.布洛克，医学博士，哲学博士;和道尔顿迪特里希，哲学博士）。校长 研究人员选择了多样化和非常合格的导师，这将提高科学和 我们住院医师的临床技能为了满足广大居民的需求， 研究兴趣，我们已经创建了两个独立的研究教育轨道：基础/翻译 科学和健康成果/差距。后者将侧重于了解和纠正 通过结合基因组学、流行病学和临床研究，发现神经外科中的健康差异。 目前的建议将有助于过渡神经外科居民到初级教师的职位， 促进获得独立职业发展奖（K级或以上）。的 我们计划的目标是：1）为居民创造一条保持强大研究的途径 在他们的居住期间; 2）充分准备神经外科住院医师作为独立的职业生涯 3）提高学员获得研究基金的能力; 4）以及 产生高质量的研究，最终将改善健康结果和科学 在我们多元化的社区中。通过提供指导、结构和基础设施， 支持，UMINDS独特的培训计划肯定会增加研究教育， 我们神经外科实习生的未来职业

Project Summary The University of MIami Neurosurgery eDucation Strategy (UMINDS) over-arching goal is to foster the development of research scientists in our program and help prepare them for a career as an independent NIH funded researcher. The proposed program leverages university wide initiatives in neuroscience and neurobiology to form an interdisciplinary group of mentors from multiple departments at the University of Miami. The program will be led by a group of clinician scientists with a rich track record of resident education and independent neurosurgical funding (Allan D. Levi, MD PhD; Malcolm R. Bullock, MD, PhD; and Dalton Dietrich, PhD). The principal investigators selected diverse and extremely qualified mentors that will elevate the scientific and clinical skillsets of our resident cohort. In order to accommodate the wide range of resident research interests, we have created two separate research education tracks: basic/translational science and health outcomes/disparities. The latter will focus on understanding and correcting health disparities in neurosurgery by combining genomic, epidemiologic, and clinical research. The present proposal will help transition neurosurgery residents into junior faculty positions and facilitate the acquisition of independent career development awards (K-equivalent or greater). The goals of our program are 1) to create an avenue for residents to maintain robust research throughout their residency; 2) to fully prepare neurosurgery residents for careers as independent surgeon-scientists; 3) to enhance our trainees’ ability to attain research funding; 4) and to generate high quality research that will ultimately improve health outcomes and scientific knowledge in our diverse community. By providing mentorship, structure and infrastructural support, the UMINDS unique training program will certainly augment the research education and future careers of our neurosurgery trainees.
