DULCE (Diabetes InqUiry Through a Learning Collaborative Experience)

项目概要/摘要 NIDDK R25研究教育培训计划的目的，杜尔塞（糖尿病调查， 芝加哥普利兹克医学院的学习合作体验）是为了激发 医学生追求事业在糖尿病（DM）的研究，通过接触到完整的连续性 从基础科学到转化型DM研究，以及需要关注的跨学科合作， DM患者鉴于越来越多的美国人患有糖尿病（DM），当务之急是， 我们的医学科学工作者已经做好充分准备，以满足这一不断增长的人口的需求， 与DM创新同步。芝加哥大学拥有两个强大的DM研究中心， 研究人员目前从NIDDK获得了3150万美元的赠款资金，代表了跨越基础研究领域的研究。 科学，临床转化，社区为基础的，和政策研究。UC还提供高质量的临床 通过Kovler糖尿病中心和其他排名靠前的临床项目进行护理。普利兹克大学 医学（PSOM）有可能成为培训DM研究中代表性不足的少数民族的领导者; 到2021年，36%的进入PSOM类是黑人/非裔美国人和拉丁美洲人。此外，42%的收入 PSOM学生表示有兴趣进行DM研究。虽然PSOM在培训方面有着良好的记录， 学生的研究，我们缺乏一个程序集中在DM。为了解决目前医生科学家的差距， 劳动力和满足我们目前的学生对DM研究的兴趣的需求，我们将开发，实施， 评估杜尔塞。我们提出了这个新的纵向研究教育计划，为八个医疗 在医学院的第一年和第二年，每年有学生参加短期基础科学课程， 临床或社区卫生研究经验，结合结构化的教学研讨会系列， 跨学科临床跟踪经验。杜尔塞将为学生提供DM的具体经验 研究和临床跟踪，通过与同行和医生的定期会议进行反思性观察 科学家，通过参加多学科临床和研究研讨会学习新理论， 通过强化指导研究项目应用新概念。杜尔塞的评估将基于 对学生的研究自我效能感的评估，他们对DM研究的态度，他们对DM研究的接触， 跨学科卫生专业在糖尿病护理中的作用，以及他们对研究项目做出贡献的能力。我们 我也会评估他们对从事DM研究事业的兴趣，以及他们在未来DM事业中的生产力 通过跟踪会议报告和出版物进行研究。我们的目标是通过杜尔塞提供 PSOM学生更好地了解DM研究和跨学科合作的频谱， 鼓励他们从事DM研究。

Project Summary/Abstract The purpose of the NIDDK R25 Research Education Training Program, DULCE (Diabetes InqUiry through a Learning Collaborative Experience) at the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine is to inspire medical students to pursue careers in diabetes mellitus (DM) research through exposure to the full continuum from basic science to translational DM research and the interdisciplinary collaboration needed to care for patients with DM. Given the increasing number of Americans with diabetes mellitus (DM), it is imperative that our physician-scientist work force is well prepared to address the needs of this growing population and keep pace with DM innovation. The University of Chicago is home to two strong DM research centers whose investigators currently have $31.5 million in grant funding from NIDDK and represent research that spans basic science, clinical translational, community based, and policy research. UC also provides high caliber clinical care through the Kovler Diabetes Center and other highly ranked clinical programs. The Pritzker School of Medicine (PSOM) has the potential to be a leader in training underrepresented minorities in DM research; in 2021, 36% of the entering PSOM class is Black/African American and Latinx. Furthermore, 42% of incoming PSOM students express interest in conducting DM research. While the PSOM has a track record in training students in research, we lack a program focused on DM. To address the gaps in the current physician scientist workforce and meet the needs of our current students’ interest in DM research, we will develop, implement, and evaluate DULCE. We propose this novel longitudinal research education program for eight medical students per year during their first and second year of medical school consisting of a short-term basic science, clinical, or community health research experience combined with a structured didactic seminar series and interdisciplinary clinical shadowing experiences. DULCE will provide students with concrete experiences in DM research and clinical shadowing, reflective observation through regular meetings with peers and physician scientists, learning of new theories through participation in multidisciplinary clinical and research seminars, and application of new concepts through an intensive mentored research project. DULCE’s evaluation will be based on assessments of students’ research self-efficacy, their attitudes towards DM research, their exposure to the roles of interdisciplinary health professions in DM care, and their ability to contribute to a research project. We will also assess their interest in pursuing a research career in DM and their productivity in a future career in DM research through tracking of conference presentations and publications. Our goal through DULCE is to provide PSOM students with a better understanding of the spectrum of DM research and interdisciplinary collaboration, inspiring them to pursue careers in DM research.
