CENTER FOR CAREER DEVELOPMENT IN REPRODUCTIVE SCIENCES

哥伦比亚生殖科学职业发展中心（CCCDRS）的目的是在妇产科部门内创建一个整体的计划环境和心态，旨在招聘，培训，职业发展和留住新的临床科学家。该计划旨在加强该部的承诺，以发展一个高度称职的互动干部的初级教师在OB/GYN和妇女健康。 CCCDRS建立在机构资产和生殖科学中心（CRS）的基础上，该中心为基础和临床研究人员提供了积极的教师，结构和培训过程。 它还将我们以前的经验与现已停止的斯隆学者计划相结合，这是一个类似但不太全面的OB/GYN部门培训计划。 通过CRS和其他国际知名的哥伦比亚教师与该部门和CRS互动，我们已经组装了一个非常丰富的研究环境CCCDRS。 在这项修订后的建议中，教师导师的数量已减少到21个主要导师，以最大限度地关注学术OB/GYN的职业发展。 我们选择将受训人员的调查引导到4个与妇女健康有关的主要领域：围产期学和发育;生殖内分泌学和不孕症;脑-生殖激素相互作用;生殖肿瘤学。 八名临床顾问也将提供，以促进我们对基础科学的重视转化的方法。 导师和顾问的选择非常谨慎，并符合以下标准：a）与生殖和妇女健康相关的一流资助研究，B）培训记录，特别是医学博士，以及c）与CRS和OB/GYN部门的互动。 目前有相当多的内部候选人可供咨询委员会使用，将通过广告和宣传征聘外部候选人。 目前，我们至少有两名内部候选人。 这一培训方案得到了大量的机构支持，该部也作出了坚定的财政承诺。 OB/GYN部门承担CRS的财政责任，并坚定地致力于这一计划，这将促进初级教师的培训。 据设想，CCCDRS的成功与部门的学术成就以及我们专业的未来是一致的;最终，临床科学家的干部，我们未来的领导者的成熟，将确保学术OB/GYN和妇女健康相关主题的进展取得成功。

The purpose of the Columbia Center for Career Development in Reproductive Sciences (CCCDRS) is to create an overall programmatic environment and mindset within the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology aimed at the recruitment, training, career development and retention of new clinician scientists. This program will aim to strengthen the Department's commitment to develop a highly competent interacting cadre of junior faculty in OB/GYN and Women's Health. The CCCDRS builds on Institutional assets and on the Center for Reproductive Sciences (CRS) which has an active faculty, structure and training process for both basic and clinical investigators. It also integrates our previous experience with the now discontinued Sloane scholars program, a similar but less comprehensive training program in the department of OB/GYN. Through CRS and other internationally reputed Columbia faculty with whom the Department and CRS interact, we have assembled an extremely rich research environment for the CCCDRS. In this revised proposal, the number of faculty mentors has been reduced to 21 primary mentors to maximize the focus on career development in academic OB/GYN. We have chosen to channel the investigation of trainees into 4 major women's health-related areas: Perinatology and development; reproductive endocrinology and infertility; brain-reproductive hormonal interactions; reproductive oncology. Eight clinical advisors will also be available to facilitate a translational approach from our emphasis on basic science. Mentors and advisors have been chosen with great care and with the criteria of a) first rate funded research of relevance to reproduction and women's health, b) track record in training, particularly MD's, and c) interaction with the CRS and OB/GYN Department. A sizeable internal pool of candidates is currently available for the CCCDRS and an external pool will be recruited through advertising and promotion. We presently have at least 2 internal candidates. Substantial institutional support exists for this training program as well as a firm Departmental financial commitment. The OB/GYN Department assumes fiscal responsibility for the CRS and is firmly committed to this program which will foster the training of junior faculty. It is envisioned that the success of the CCCDRS is aligned with the academic accomplishments of the Department as well as the future of our specialty; ultimately, the maturation of this cadre of clinician scientists, our future leaders, will ensure the success for the progress in academic OB/GYN and women's health related topics.
