PHYSICIANS SCIENTIST PROGRAM AWARD

我们的医生科学家计划的最初目标是提供 医生谁完成了一些内务人员培训与广泛的 基础生物医学研究背景以及直接实验室 由基础科学家监督的经验。 此外，每年两名 将支持医学生进行一整年的基本 实验室研究在休假期间，从正常的医疗 学校课程。 在他们培训的第一阶段， 将参加正式的课程，并开始实验室工作，在一个基本的 科学区。 所有学员将参加生物化学研究生课程 和分子生物学 其他课程的选择将取决于 每个人以前的科学背景和具体的研究兴趣 医生科学家。 这些课程可能包括教学或研讨会 由各基础科学系教授的课程， 医学院的科目，如先进的化学，物理，或 数学在大学的本科校园。 标准 基础科学赞助商的选择包括一个刺激的实验室， 培养青年科学家的环境和热情。 一个同样 一个重要的标准是，实验室的经验将提供研究 可应用于临床问题的主要程序的培训 由NIADDK负责的领域。 在该计划的第二阶段， 医生科学家将更加独立地工作，尽管仍然在 监督他们的基础科学赞助商。 虽然许多基本的 研究赞助商是医学博士或研究直接临床问题的工作 相关性，每位医师科学家将在 II期，由一名二级临床申办者帮助医生 从实习生向独立调查员过渡的科学家， 基本技能在临床研究中的应用。 远景目标 该计划的目的是为有天赋和敬业的医生提供 有机会独立学习和利用基本科学工具 在NIADDK感兴趣的临床领域工作的研究者。

The initial objectives of our Physician Scientist Program are to provide physicians who have completed some housestaff training with a broad background in basic biomedical research as well as direct laboratory experience supervised by a basic scientist. In addition, each year two medical students will be supported to carry out a full year of basic laboratory research during a leave of abscence from the regular medical school curriculum. During Phase I of their training Physician Scientists will be enrolled in formal courses and begin laboratory work in a basic science area. All trainees will take the graduate course in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. The selection of other course work will depend on the previous scientific background and specific research interests of each Physician Scientist. Such courses might include didactic or seminar courses taught by the faculty of the various basic science departments at the School of Medicine of subjects such as advanced chemistry, physics, or mathematics at the undergraduate campus of the University. Criteria for the choice of basic science sponsors include a stimulating laboratory environment and enthusiasm for training young scientists. An equally important criterion is that the laboratory experience will provide research training that can be applied to clinical problems in the major program areas for which the NIADDK is responsible. In Phase II of the program the Physician Scientist will work more independently, though still under the supervision of their basic science sponsor. Although many of the basic research sponsors are MD's or work on problems with immediate clinical relevance, each Physician Scientist will maintain close contact during Phase II with a secondary clinical sponsor who will help the Physician Scientist in the transition from trainee to independent investigator and in the application of basic skills to clinical research. The long-term goal of the program is to provide gifted and dedicated physicians with the opportunity to learn and utilize basic scientific tools as independent investigators working in clinical areas of interest to the NIADDK.
