RHEUMATOLOGY RESEARCH TRAINING PROGRAMS

该培训计划的目的是在风湿病研究的基础上提供几个相关学科的广泛和密集的研究经验。研究经验是与资助的调查人员一起进行的。受训者被分配给培训教师中的一名成员直接监督，尽管教职员工之间的合作很常见，受训者可能会在两个甚至三个不同教职员工的实验室学习基本的实验室技术。项目主管监督所有受训人员的进度。除了研究之外。受训者参加各种研讨会、课程和会议，以补充他们的科学背景。医生实习生每周可能会有1/2天的时间用于病人护理活动。该学院提供与风湿病相关的生物医学研究的广度和深度。研究培训的主要领域包括细胞/分子生物免疫生物学(Baran，Doxsey，Lawrence，Sullivan，Szabo，Zurier)和骨和软骨的细胞/分子生物学(支持生长、分化和修复的基因表达控制)(Bonassar，Lian，Marks，G.Stein，J.Stein)。此外，还提供保健服务研究方面的培训(曾傑瑞·古尔维茨博士，校长)。公共卫生硕士学位可以在密歇根大学获得。将向医学博士和博士后研究员以及医学博士/博士研究生提供培训。注意招募有研究经验的医生。被该计划录取的大多数医生都接受过内科或儿科的住院医师培训，并接受过一年的风湿病临床培训。遴选标准包括我们对应聘者在生物医学研究、学校和培训记录方面的严肃意愿的看法，以及前主管的推荐。该培训计划在马萨诸塞大学医学中心医学系风湿病科管理。有适当的办公室和行政人员。每个教官都得到了美国国立卫生研究院的资助，并拥有充足且设备齐全的实验室和办公空间。

The purpose of this Training Program is to provide a broad and intense research experience in several related disciplines basic to the study of rheumatic diseases. Research experience takes place with funded investigators. Trainees are assigned to one member of the training faculty for direct supervision, although collaboration among faculty is common and a trainee might learn basic laboratory techniques in the laboratories of 2 or even 3 different faculty. The Program Directors monitor the progress of all trainees. In addition to research. trainees participate in a variety of seminars, courses and conferences to supplement their scientific backgrounds. Physician trainees might spend 1/2 day each week in patient care activities. The faculty provides breadth and depth in biomedical research related to rheumatic diseases. The major areas of research training include cellular/molecular biology immunobiology (Baran, Doxsey, Lawrence, Sullivan, Szabo, Zurier) and the cellular/molecular biology (control of gene expression in supporting growth, differentiation, repair) of bone and cartilage (Bonassar, Lian, Marks, G. Stein, J. Stein). In addition, training in health services research is available (Dr. Jerry Gurwitz, preceptor). The MPH degree may be obtained at UMMC. Training will be provided to M.D. and Ph.D. postdoctoral fellows, and to M.D./Ph.D. students. Attention is paid to recruitment of physicians with previous research experience. Most physicians accepted into the program will have had residency training in internal medicine or pediatrics and a year of training in clinical rheumatology. Criteria for selection include our perception of the candidates serious intent to pursue a career in biomedical research, school, and training records, and recommendations from previous supervisors. The training program is administered in the Rheumatology Division, Department of Medicine, University of Massachusetts Medical Center. Appropriate offices and administrative personnel are available. Each preceptor is funded by the NIH and has adequate and fully equipped laboratory and office space.
