RHEUMATOLOGY RESEARCH TRAINING PROGRAMS

该培训计划的目的是提供风湿性疾病研究基础的几个相关学科的广泛而深入的研究经验。研究经验发生与资助的研究人员。学员被分配给培训教师的一名成员进行直接监督，尽管教师之间的合作很常见，学员可能会在2个甚至3个不同教师的实验室学习基本实验室技术。项目主任监督所有学员的进度。除了研究。受训人员参加各种研讨会、课程和会议，以补充其科学背景。实习医生每周可能会花1/2天的时间参加病人护理活动。该学院提供与风湿性疾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/分子生物学免疫生物学（Baran，Doxsey，Lawrence，Sullivan，Szabo，Schuier）和骨和软骨的细胞/分子生物学（支持生长，分化，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（Jerry Gurwitz博士，导师）。MPH学位可以在UMMC获得。将向M.D.提供培训。和博士博士后研究员，以及医学博士/博士学生注意招聘有研究经验的医生。大多数被录取的医生都将接受内科或儿科的住院医师培训，并接受一年的临床流变学培训。选择的标准包括我们对候选人的看法，认真打算从事生物医学研究，学校和培训记录，以及以前主管的建议。该培训计划由马萨诸塞州大学医学中心医学系流变学部管理。有适当的办公室和行政人员。每个导师都由国家卫生研究院资助，并有足够的和设备齐全的实验室和办公室空间。

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.
