Translational research training in cardiovascular science

项目总结/摘要 心血管科学的研究正在迅速发展，因为心血管疾病仍然是最大的原因， 死亡率和发病率在美国，特别是随着人口老龄化。但与此同时， 外科医生科学家有越来越多的临床责任，他们必须满足履行教学， 偿还要求。所有这些都是在竞争激烈的融资环境背景下发生的。因此，在本发明中， 维持外科医生科学家解决血管生物学中的关键问题是一个重大威胁， 心血管科学，并提供一个翻译的角度。在这种背景下，很明显， 血管生物学和心血管科学研究方面的培训对于那些将 在未来十年成为该领域的领导者，为他们提供工具和知识， 独立科学家我们相信，这项培训计划已经并将继续给予下一代 血管疾病为重点的外科医生，科学家一个杰出的平台，建立和推出一个独立的 转化科学职业生涯。当前的T32提案，“心血管转化研究培训 提供血管临床科学和生物学方面的研究培训。该计划提供了一个 医生（MD，MD/PhD，DO）每年从三个不同的轨道之一选择实习生：（1）基本 科学/转化科学;（2）卫生服务/成果;或（3）生物医学工程。强大的力量 该计划是三种课程之间的交叉施肥，具有所有培训的共同要素 途径。培训发生在整个校园的各个地点，包括北校区研究 复杂的（NCRC），生物医学研究实验室，工程实验室的学校，并在密歇根州 医学塞缪尔和让弗兰克尔心血管中心。该计划的教师来自多个学科 并包括在各个学科中有良好指导记录的受资助的、忠诚的调查人员 包括血管外科、生物医学工程、心血管内科、普通外科、内科 医学、微生物学和免疫学、分子和综合生理学、药理学和放射学。 这个项目的共同点是强调血管生物学和心血管科学的研究 最终目标是培养下一代血管生物学学术领域的医生科学家， 心血管科学

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Research in cardiovascular science is rapidly progressing, as cardiovascular disease remains the largest cause of mortality and morbidity in the United States, particularly as the population ages. At the same time, however, surgeon-scientists have increasing clinical responsibilities which they must meet to fulfill teaching and reimbursement requirements. All of this occurs in the backdrop of a highly competitive funding environment. Thus, there is a significant threat to maintaining surgeon-scientists to address the critical issues in vascular biology and cardiovascular science and provide a translational perspective. With this background, it is clear that proper training in research in vascular biology and cardiovascular science is critical for those surgeon scientists who will be the leaders in this field over the next decade(s), by providing them with the tools and knowledge to become independent scientists. We believe this training program has and will continue to give the next generation of vascular disease-focused surgeon-scientists an outstanding platform to build from and to launch an independent career in translational science. The current T32 proposal, “Translational Research Training in Cardiovascular Science”, provides research training in vascular clinical science and biology. The program provides for one physician (MD, MD/PhD, DO) trainee per year to choose from one of three distinct tracks: (1) basic science/translational science; (2) health services/outcomes; or (3) biomedical engineering. A great strength of the program is the cross fertilization between the three curricula with common elements of training for all pathways. Training takes place at various locations throughout campus including the North Campus Research Complex (NCRC), the Biomedical Research laboratories, School of Engineering laboratories, and at the Michigan Medicine Samuel and Jean Frankel Cardiovascular Center. Faculty for the program come from multiple disciplines and include funded, committed investigators with strong mentoring track records that are in various disciplines including Vascular Surgery, Biomedical Engineering, Cardiovascular Medicine, General Surgery, Internal Medicine, Microbiology and Immunology, Molecular and Integrated Physiology, Pharmacology, and Radiology. The common thread in this program is the emphasis on the study of vascular biology and cardiovascular science with the ultimate goal to develop the next generation of physician-scientists in academic vascular biology and cardiovascular science.
