UTAH WRHR CAREER DEVELOPMENT CENTER

缺乏高素质的医生调查人员，特别是在学术产科和妇科领域，仍然是一个主要的国家关注。 犹他州妇女生殖健康研究（WRHR）职业发展中心，由犹他州大学健康科学中心（UUHSC）妇产科系提出，构成了最高水平的医生调查员的严格职业发展计划。 利用妇产科与学术UUHSC社区的部门建立的联系，犹他州WRHR职业发展中心建议将WRHR学者与17位优秀的部门内和部门外导师相匹配。 此外，犹他州WRHR职业发展中心建议依次链接和借鉴的经验，人类分子生物学和遗传学（HMBG）计划，一个独特的和创新的非辅导UUHSC为基础的职业发展计划。 后者在培养医生调查员方面取得了成功。 研究的四个轨道将提供给WRHR学者，包括：（1）人类发展（2）生殖内分泌学（3）生殖癌症和（4）围产期医学。 在认识到候选WRHR学者先前的研究经验的异质性，我们提出了两个阶段的研究，从而确保分级进展。 为期两年的基础阶段，为没有先前研究经验的WRHR学者设计，将需要一系列核心研究生水平课程，并将向WRHR学者介绍当代研究工具，因为它们适用于基本的翻译和/或临床技术。 高级阶段，专为WRHR学者与先前的研究经验，将需要选修研究生课程，同时追求越来越独立的研究相关的妇女的生殖健康。临床义务将是最小的。 已拨出超过50万美元的机构支助。 WRHR学者将享受准备访问广泛的核心设施（包括DNA芯片微阵列技术）。 随着该计划的完成，预计每个WRHR学者将做好充分准备，以竞争适当的校外资金。此外，每个WRHR学者将有机会申请基于UUHSC的HMBG计划，从而促进他/她发展的下一阶段（即通过独立成熟）。 在两位学术界的妇产科医生的带领下，Eli Y. Adashi，医学博士，PI和D.威尔分支，医学博士，中心主任，犹他州WRHR职业发展中心将提供一个优秀的智力环境，为领先的学术妇产科医生在一个快速发展的学术研究机构的发展。

The lack of highly-qualified physician-investigators, particularly in the realm of academic obstetrics and gynecology, remains a major national concern. The Utah Women's Reproductive Health Research (WRHR) Career Development Center, as proposed by the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Utah Health Sciences Center (UUHSC), constitutes a rigorous career development program of physician-investigators of the highest caliber. Capitalizing on the established links of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology with the academic UUHSC community, the Utah WRHR Career Development Center proposes to match WRHR Scholars with seventeen outstanding intra and extra departmental mentors. Moreover, the Utah WRHR Career Development Center proposes to sequentially link with and draw on the experience of, the Human Molecular Biology and Genetics (HMBG) Program, a unique and innovative non-mentored UUHSC-based career development program. The success of the latter in fostering physician-investigators is well-established. Four tracks of study will be made available to WRHR Scholars to include: (1) Human Development (2) Reproductive Endocrinology (3) Reproductive Cancer and (4) Perinatal Medicine. In recognition of the heterogeneity of prior research experience of candidate WRHR scholars, we propose two phases of study thereby ensuring graded progress. The two year Basic Phase, designed for WRHR scholars without prior research experience, will require a series of core graduate level courses and will introduce the WRHR Scholar to contemporary investigative tools as they apply to basic translational and/or clinical technology. The Advanced Phase, designed for WRHR scholars with prior research experience, will require elective graduate courses while pursuing increasingly independent research of relevance to women's reproductive health. Clinical obligations will be minimal. Institutional support exceeding 500,000 dollars has been allocated. WRHR Scholars will enjoy ready access to a broad range of core facilities (including DNA chip microarray technology). With the completion of the program, it is anticipated that each WRHR Scholar will be well-prepared to compete for appropriate extramural funding. Moreover, each WRHR Scholar will be offered the opportunity to apply for the unmentored UUHSC-based HMBG Program thereby facilitating the next phase of his/her development (i.e. maturation through independence). Led by two academically-committed obstetrician/gynecologists, Eli Y. Adashi, M.D., PI and D. Ware Branch, M.D., Center Director, the Utah WRHR Career Development Center will offer an outstanding intellectual environment for the development of leading academic obstetrician-gynecologists in a rapidly-growing academic research institution.
