The practice of genetic medicine requires a broad range of expertise including an understanding of the molecular and cellular biology that comprises the basis of gene transfer, a sense of the complexity and precision required to undertake clinical research, and finally an appreciation of the ethnical issues that are unique to the interface of science and humanity. The Training and Education Core of the Weill Cornell Program in Excellence in Gene Therapy (PEGT) takes as its mission to create a framework within which both experienced investigators and novice investigators can pursue a better understanding of their discipline. To accomplish this task, the Training and Education Core sets forth three venues in which education and training can occur. First, formal training programs are in place for each level of investigator. These programs include summer research programs for undergraduate students, laboratory projects and graduate level courses for graduate students, specialized training programs for postgraduate investigators, and technical training sessions and topical symposia for professional investigators. The keystone of the training program is the Weill Cornell PEGT Scholars Program which will recruit and training investigators holding PhD, MD, or MD/PhD degrees for PEGT Scholars Program which will recruit and train investigators holding PhD, MD, or MD/PhD degrees for an intensive two-year immersion into all aspects of genetic medicine. The Scholars Program incorporates comprehensive training in laboratory techniques, clinical research, regulatory affairs, and ethics, and permit the Scholar to concentrate in the area of his or her choosing. The goal of the Scholars Program is to develop a cadre of genetic medicine researchers who have a global appreciation for the elements of genetic medicine that must come together to take research from the bench to the bedside. The second venue for the Training and Education Core is the establishment of communication among investigators through seminar series, a webpage, and long distance meeting/learning facilities. The final venue of the Training and Education Core is public outreach. Weill Cornell PEGT investigators will continue to pursue opportunities for positive and open interactions with the lay public who are both the intended beneficiaries and principal benefactors of our work.

基因医学的实践需要广泛的专业知识，包括对构成基因转移基础的分子和细胞生物学的理解，对进行临床研究所需的复杂性和精确性的认识，以及对科学与人类之间独特的伦理问题的欣赏。威尔康奈尔卓越基因治疗项目（PEGT）的培训和教育核心以创建一个框架为使命，在这个框架内，经验丰富的研究人员和新手研究人员都可以更好地了解他们的学科。为了完成这一任务，培训和教育核心提出了教育和培训可以发生的三个场所。首先，每个级别的调查员都有正式的培训项目。这些项目包括针对本科生的暑期研究项目，针对研究生的实验室项目和研究生水平课程，针对研究生调查员的专业培训项目，以及针对专业调查员的技术培训课程和专题研讨会。培训计划的基石是威尔康奈尔PEGT学者计划，该计划将招募和培训拥有博士、医学博士或医学博士/博士学位的研究人员。PEGT学者计划将招募和培训拥有博士、医学博士或医学博士/博士学位的研究人员，进行为期两年的基因医学各方面的密集沉浸。学者计划包括实验室技术、临床研究、监管事务和伦理方面的全面培训，并允许学者专注于他或她选择的领域。学者计划的目标是培养一批基因医学研究人员，他们对基因医学的要素有全球的认识，必须团结起来，把研究从实验室带到床边。培训和教育核心的第二个场所是通过系列研讨会、网页和远程会议/学习设施建立研究人员之间的沟通。培训和教育核心的最后一个场所是公众外展。威尔康奈尔大学PEGT研究人员将继续寻求机会，与公众进行积极和开放的互动，他们既是我们工作的预期受益者，也是主要捐助者。
