RHEUMATOLOGY RESEARCH TRAINING PROGRAMS

该培训计划的目的是为风湿病研究提供几个相关学科的广泛而深入的研究经验。研究经验与资助的研究人员一起进行。受训者被分配到培训学院的一名成员直接监督，尽管学院之间的合作很常见，受训者可能会在2个甚至3个不同学院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。学员参加各种研讨会、课程和会议，以补充他们的科学背景。实习医师可能每周花半天时间在病人护理活动上。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/分子生物学免疫生物学（Baran, Doxsey, Lawrence, Sullivan, Szabo, Zurier）和细胞/分子生物学（支持骨和软骨生长、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（Jerry Gurwitz博士，导师）。公共卫生硕士学位可以在UMMC获得。培训将提供给医学博士和博士后，以及医学博士和博士。学生。注意招聘有研究经验的医生。大多数接受该计划的医生将接受内科或儿科住院医师培训和一年的临床风湿病学培训。选择标准包括我们对候选人在生物医学研究领域追求职业生涯的认真意图的看法，学校和培训记录，以及以前主管的推荐。该培训项目由马萨诸塞大学医学中心医学系风湿病科管理。设有适当的办事处和行政人员。每个导师由美国国立卫生研究院资助，并有足够的和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.
