UTAH WRHR CAREER DEVELOPMENT CENTER

缺乏高素质的医师调查员，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的问题。犹他州妇女生殖健康研究（WRHR）职业发展中心，由犹他大学健康科学中心（UUHSC）的妇产科部门提议，构成了最高水平的医师调查员的严格职业发展计划。利用犹他大学妇产学系与学术社区之间建立的联系，犹他州WRHR职业发展中心建议将WRHR学者与17位杰出的院内和院外导师相匹配。此外，犹他州WRHR职业发展中心建议依次与人类分子生物学和遗传学（HMBG）项目联系并借鉴其经验，HMBG项目是一个独特的、创新的、基于uhsc的无指导职业发展项目。后者在培养医师研究人员方面的成功是公认的。研究方向包括：(1)人类发展；(2)生殖内分泌学；(3)生殖癌症；(4)围产期医学。考虑到候选WRHR学者先前研究经验的异质性，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是为没有研究经验的WRHR学者设计的，将需要一系列核心研究生课程，并将向WRHR学者介绍适用于基本转化和/或临床技术的当代调查工具。高级阶段是为具有先前研究经验的妇女资源研究所的学者设计的，将要求选修研究生课程，同时进行与妇女生殖健康有关的日益独立的研究。临床义务将是最小的。拨款超过50万美元的机构支助。WRHR学者将享受到广泛的核心设施（包括DNA芯片微阵列技术）。随着项目的完成，预计每位WRHR学者都将做好充分准备，争取适当的校外资助。此外，每位WRHR学者都将有机会申请无人指导的uhsc HMBG项目，从而促进他/她的下一阶段发展（即通过独立成熟）。由两位致力于学术的妇产科医生Eli Y. Adashi, m.d.， PI和D. Ware Branch, m.d.，中心主任领导，犹他州WRHR职业发展中心将在一个快速发展的学术研究机构中为领先的学术妇产科医生的发展提供一个优秀的智力环境。

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.
