Development of Clinician/Researchers in Academic ENT

项目摘要/摘要 听力、平衡和其他沟通障碍的疾病可能是毁灭性的，因为它们会减少 或妨碍社会互动和福祉。华盛顿大学医学院已经建立了 杰出的基础生物医学、临床和行为健康科学研究的声誉。最近， 大学扩大了在创业、研究创新、 技术转让、传播和实施科学。 续订这一长期且成功的培训计划的理由是解决 当今内科科学家面临的巨大挑战，包括新技术的快速增长和速度 知识发现，赠款资助周期的兴衰性质，实践之间日益扩大的鸿沟 临床医生和生物医学科学家，以及未能在一定程度上将女性纳入研究职业 反映了完成医学院学业的女性人数。通过这次竞争更新，更大的 重点将放在翻译科学上，这承认了华盛顿大学新的和令人兴奋的 初创公司的创业文化、生物技术的商业化及其日益受到的关注 关于传播和实施的研究。 耳鼻咽喉科T32培训计划的总体目标如下： (1)向优秀的医学博士后介绍研究的兴奋和挑战 努力激发对研究的兴趣，以此作为他们未来职业目标的一部分；以及 (2)对耳鼻咽喉科博士后住院医师进行研究技术培训，使他们能够参与竞争 成功获得研究奖项，并在学术医学领域担任领导角色。 耳鼻咽喉科T32培训计划的具体目标如下： (1)为教授临床相关基础研究的教师提供指导研究经验， 与耳聋和其他障碍相关的临床、翻译或行为研究； (2)提供授课核心和选修课程机会，确保学员深入学习 与相关研究技术有关的知识； (3)提供以职业相关主题为重点的课程、研讨会、研讨会和教程 开发技能。 这些目标的成功实现将导致更多的多样化和训练有素的人才 医生--将领导未来多学科研究团队的科学家。 培训计划将任命两名博士后医学生和四名博士后耳鼻喉科学生 每年都有驻院医生。所有受训人员都将接受负责任的研究行为培训。正式 将对受训人员和导师进行评估，并跟踪所有受训人员以评估结果。

Project Summary/Abstract Diseases of hearing, balance, and other communication disorders can be devastating, because they decrease or prevent social interaction and well-being. Washington University School of Medicine has an established reputation for outstanding basic biomedical, clinical, and behavioral health sciences research. Recently, the university expanded its training and education opportunities in entrepreneurship, research innovation, technology transfer, and dissemination and implementation science. The rationale for the renewal of this long-standing and successful training program is to address the enormous challenges that physician-scientists face today, including the rapid growth and pace of new knowledge discovery, the boom-or-bust nature of grant-funding cycles, the growing chasm between practicing clinicians and biomedical scientists, and the failure to incorporate women into research careers at a level reflective of the number of women who complete medical school. With this competitive renewal, a greater emphasis will be placed on translational science, which recognizes Washington University’s new and exciting entrepreneurial culture of startup companies, its commercialization of biotechnology, and its increased focus on dissemination and implementation research. The overall goals of the Otolaryngology T32 Training Program are as follows: (1) To introduce outstanding predoctoral medical students to the excitement and challenges of research in an effort to stimulate an interest in research as part of their future career goals; and (2) To train postdoctoral otolaryngology residents in the techniques of research so that they may compete successfully for research awards and assume leadership roles in academic medicine. The Specific Aims of the Otolaryngology T32 training program are as follows: (1) To provide mentored research experience with faculty who are conducting clinically relevant basic, clinical, translational, or behavioral research related to deafness and other disorders; (2) To provide didactic core and elective coursework opportunities to ensure that trainees acquire in-depth knowledge related to relevant research techniques; and (3) To provide curricula, seminars, workshops, and tutorials that focus on topics related to professional development skills. The successful completion of these aims will result in increased numbers of diverse and well-trained physician-scientists who will lead the multidisciplinary research teams of the future. The training program will appoint two predoctoral medical students and four postdoctoral otolaryngology resident physicians each year. All trainees will receive training in the responsible conduct of research. Formal evaluation of trainees and mentors will be performed, and all trainees will be tracked to assess outcomes.
