The overall goal of the Academic Rheumatology and Clinical Immunology Training Program at UCSF is to provide advanced training in biomedical research and in health services research to qualified individuals with M.D., M.D./Ph.D., or Ph.D. degrees who plan to pursue careers in academic rheumatology. A major objective of this program is to provide trainees with an environment in which they can: (1) undertake formal didactic course work in a chosen area of concentration; (2) learn how to investigate a scientific problem in depth; master state-of-the-art research techniques; and (4) understand what constitutes good science. In the past, training in our program has taken advantage of the resources of the Rheumatology Divisions of the Department of Medicine at UCSF: one at Moffitt-Long University Hospital, one at San Francisco General Hospital, and one at the San Francisco A Medical Center. These divisions have particular strength in two of the most rapidly developing areas of medical science-biomedical research in immunology and molecular biology, and health service research with an emphasis on outcomes research. These areas of strength are responsive to the unprecedented recent advances in basic science and to the important national changes in health care delivery. In this competitive renewal application, we propose to further strengthen our program in two crucial areas. First, we propose to include research training for postdoctoral fellows in Pediatric Rheumatology. In recent years, UCSF has build one of the top clinical programs in Pediatric Rheumatology in the country, and it will be beneficial to trainees in both adult and pediatric rheumatology. to formally integrate the research programs. Second, we recently initiatived a major new clinical trials program in Rheumatology, focused primarily on the study of novel biologic therapies for rheumatic diseases. This new program, and its faculty, will substantially expand training opportunities for postdoctoral fellows who have a primary interest in clinical research. The Rheumatology and Clinical Immunology program at UCSF provides an outstanding environment of interaction and collaboration among faculty in the Department of Medicine and faculty in the graduate program in Immunology. Furthermore, substantive interactions between scientists in basic research and scientists in clinical research, as well as integrated research experiences for trainees in adult and pediatric rheumatology, create an atmosphere of respect for all aspects of our discipline. The program is intended to support six highly qualified individuals through two or three years of rigorous scientific training, with the objective that they will devote their subsequent careers to the study of the rheumatic and immunologic diseases.

UCSF风湿病学和临床免疫学学术培训项目的总体目标是为具有医学博士、医学博士/博士学位的合格个人提供生物医学研究和卫生服务研究方面的高级培训。计划从事风湿病学学术工作的博士学位。该计划的一个主要目标是为学员提供一个环境，使他们能够：(1)在选定的专注领域进行正式的教学课程；(2)学习如何深入研究科学问题；掌握最先进的研究技术；(4)理解什么是好的科学。过去，我们项目的培训利用了加州大学旧金山分校医学院风湿病科的资源：一个在莫菲特-朗大学医院，一个在旧金山综合医院，一个在旧金山A医疗中心。这些学部在两个发展最迅速的医学领域——免疫学和分子生物学的生物医学研究，以及侧重于成果研究的卫生服务研究——具有特别的优势。这些优势领域是对基础科学最近前所未有的进步和国家在卫生保健服务方面的重要变化作出反应的。在这次竞争性的续期申请中，我们建议在两个关键领域进一步加强我们的计划。首先，我们建议为儿科风湿病学博士后提供研究培训。近年来，加州大学旧金山分校已经建立了国内顶尖的儿科风湿病临床项目之一，这将有利于成人和儿童风湿病学的学员。正式整合研究项目。其次，我们最近在风湿病学领域启动了一个重要的新临床试验项目，主要关注风湿病的新型生物疗法的研究。这个新项目及其教师将大大扩大对临床研究有主要兴趣的博士后的培训机会。加州大学旧金山分校的风湿病学和临床免疫学项目为医学系的教师和免疫学研究生项目的教师之间的互动和合作提供了一个良好的环境。此外，基础研究科学家和临床研究科学家之间的实质性互动，以及成人和儿童风湿病学学员的综合研究经验，为我们学科的各个方面创造了一种尊重的氛围。该计划旨在通过两到三年严格的科学培训，支持六名高素质的个人，目标是他们将在随后的职业生涯中致力于风湿病和免疫疾病的研究。
