Project summary The University of Pennsylvania MD/PhD and VMD/PhD programs were established in 1958 and 1969, and united as a single medical scientist training program in 1977. The program currently enrolls 218 MD/PhD and 22 VMD/PhD students, 95% of whom are training grant eligible. Program guidance is provided by a committed team of faculty and staff that has been in place since 2014 and was recently joined by an experienced medical educator to assist in program evaluation. Our primary goal is to identify, train and mentor a diverse group of outstanding physician-scientists who will become leaders of biomedical research and translational medicine, as well as being successful clinicians, role models and mentors. To meet this goal, we have established flexible, evidence-based training plans that integrate research and clinical training in preparation for careers that use both. Penn's institutional commitment is reflected in a large annual investment that provides resources, enrichment activities, and support for program administration, as well as an institutional culture that values physician-scientists, supports diversity and inclusivity, promotes scientific rigor and a safe learning environment, and expects good mentorship. Admission is open to recent college graduates and current Penn MD, VMD and PhD students. Admission decisions are holistic, emphasizing research experience, creativity, and commitment to a physician-scientist career as well as academic excellence. The average time to degree is 8.1 years. There are 12 affiliated graduate programs: 7 in Biomedical Graduate Studies plus Engineering, Economics, Chemistry, History & Sociology of Science, and Anthropology, with protocols to add more when appropriate. The diverse training faculty includes 161 junior and senior scientists and physician-scientists including 3 NIH intramural investigators who hold adjunct faculty appointments at Penn. Policies are in place to acquire and maintain training faculty membership and to resolve conflicts. Each student's individualized curriculum emphasizes the integration of clinical and research training, responsible conduct of research, scientific rigor and reproducibility, and mentorship. It also includes MSTP-directed courses in Years 1 and 2, Clinical Connections during graduate school, Return to Research in the final year and, because our responsibilities do not end with graduation, the Hand Over Curriculum, which guides students in the selection of physician-scientist-friendly residencies and careers. 81% of recent graduates who have completed further training are employed by academic centers, research institutes, the biotech and pharmaceutical industries, the NIH, and federal agencies. Most have research funding from the NIH and other sources. Our objectives for the next 5 years include: 1) fostering the next generation of physician-scientists, 2) assisting trainees in exploring physician-scientist career options in addition to academia, 3) managing upward pressure on total training time, 4) improving mentorship skills for faculty and trainees, and 5) extending our successful efforts to increase diversity. These objectives are linked to an outcomes rubric that defines success and a logic model whose metrics will enable continuous improvement.

项目摘要 宾夕法尼亚大学的MD/PhD和VMD/PhD项目分别于1958年和1969年成立，并联合 作为一个单一的医学科学家培训计划在1977年。该计划目前招收218 MD/博士和22 VMD/PhD学生，其中95%有资格获得培训补助金。项目指导由一个忠诚的团队提供 自2014年以来一直存在的教职员工，最近由一位经验丰富的医学教育家加入 协助项目评估。我们的主要目标是识别，培训和指导一个多样化的优秀团队， 医学科学家，他们将成为生物医学研究和转化医学的领导者， 成功的临床医生，榜样和导师。为了实现这一目标，我们建立了灵活的、基于证据的 整合研究和临床培训的培训计划，为使用两者的职业做准备。佩恩的 机构承诺反映在每年的大量投资中，这些投资提供资源，浓缩活动， 和对项目管理的支持，以及重视医生-科学家的机构文化， 支持多样性和包容性，促进科学严谨性和安全的学习环境，并期望良好的 导师制入学是开放给最近的大学毕业生和目前的宾夕法尼亚大学医学博士，VMD和博士生。 录取决定是全面的，强调研究经验，创造力，并致力于一个医生科学家 职业生涯以及学术卓越。获得学位的平均时间为8.1年。有12个附属 研究生课程：7个生物医学研究生课程加上工程，经济学，化学，历史和 科学社会学和人类学，并在适当的时候增加更多的协议。多样化的培训 教师包括161名初级和高级科学家和医生科学家，包括3名NIH内部调查员 在宾夕法尼亚大学担任兼职教师的人已制定政策，以获取和维持培训教师 成员资格和解决冲突。每个学生的个性化课程强调整合 临床和研究培训，负责任的研究行为，科学严谨性和可重复性，以及 导师制它还包括MSTP指导的课程在第1年和第2年，临床联系在研究生期间 学校，返回研究在最后一年，因为我们的责任不结束与毕业， 移交课程，指导学生选择对医生和科学家友好的住院医师， careers.完成进一步培训的应届毕业生中有81%被学术中心雇用， 研究机构、生物技术和制药行业、NIH和联邦机构。大多数人 研究经费来自NIH和其他来源。我们未来五年的目标包括：一）促进 下一代的医生科学家，2）协助学员探索医生科学家的职业选择， 除了学术界，3）管理总培训时间的上升压力，4）提高指导技能， 教师和学员，5）扩大我们的成功努力，以增加多样性。这些目标与 一个定义成功的结果规则和一个逻辑模型，其指标将使持续改进成为可能。
