The overall goal of the Academic Rheumatology and Clinical Immunology Training Program at UCSF is to provide advanced training in biomedical research and in health services research to qualified individuals with M.D., M.D./Ph.D., or Ph.D. degrees who plan to pursue careers in academic rheumatology. A major objective of this program is to provide trainees with an environment in which they can: (1) undertake formal didactic course work in a chosen area of concentration; (2) learn how to investigate a scientific problem in depth; master state-of-the-art research techniques; and (4) understand what constitutes good science. In the past, training in our program has taken advantage of the resources of the Rheumatology Divisions of the Department of Medicine at UCSF: one at Moffitt-Long University Hospital, one at San Francisco General Hospital, and one at the San Francisco A Medical Center. These divisions have particular strength in two of the most rapidly developing areas of medical science-biomedical research in immunology and molecular biology, and health service research with an emphasis on outcomes research. These areas of strength are responsive to the unprecedented recent advances in basic science and to the important national changes in health care delivery. In this competitive renewal application, we propose to further strengthen our program in two crucial areas. First, we propose to include research training for postdoctoral fellows in Pediatric Rheumatology. In recent years, UCSF has build one of the top clinical programs in Pediatric Rheumatology in the country, and it will be beneficial to trainees in both adult and pediatric rheumatology. to formally integrate the research programs. Second, we recently initiatived a major new clinical trials program in Rheumatology, focused primarily on the study of novel biologic therapies for rheumatic diseases. This new program, and its faculty, will substantially expand training opportunities for postdoctoral fellows who have a primary interest in clinical research. The Rheumatology and Clinical Immunology program at UCSF provides an outstanding environment of interaction and collaboration among faculty in the Department of Medicine and faculty in the graduate program in Immunology. Furthermore, substantive interactions between scientists in basic research and scientists in clinical research, as well as integrated research experiences for trainees in adult and pediatric rheumatology, create an atmosphere of respect for all aspects of our discipline. The program is intended to support six highly qualified individuals through two or three years of rigorous scientific training, with the objective that they will devote their subsequent careers to the study of the rheumatic and immunologic diseases.

在加州大学旧金山分校的学术流变学和临床免疫学培训计划的总体目标是提供先进的培训，在生物医学研究和卫生服务研究合格的个人与医学博士，医学博士/哲学博士、或博士计划从事学术流变学职业的人。该计划的一个主要目标是为学员提供一个环境，使他们能够：（1）在选定的集中领域进行正式的教学课程工作;（2）学习如何深入调查科学问题;掌握最先进的研究技术;（4）了解什么是好的科学。在过去，我们的培训计划利用了加州大学旧金山分校医学系的流变学部门的资源：一个在莫菲特-朗大学医院，一个在旧金山弗朗西斯科总医院，一个在旧金山弗朗西斯科A医疗中心。这些部门在医学科学发展最快的两个领域-免疫学和分子生物学的生物医学研究以及强调结果研究的卫生服务研究中具有特别的优势。这些优势领域是对基础科学前所未有的最新进展和国家在卫生保健提供方面的重要变化的回应。在这次竞争性续约申请中，我们建议在两个关键领域进一步加强我们的计划。首先，我们建议包括儿科流变学博士后研究员的研究培训。近年来，加州大学旧金山分校建立了一个顶级的临床项目在儿科风湿病学在该国，它将有利于学员在成人和儿科风湿病学。正式整合研究项目。第二，我们最近发起了一项新的主要的风湿病学临床试验计划，主要集中在风湿性疾病的新生物疗法的研究。这个新项目及其教师将大大扩大对临床研究感兴趣的博士后研究员的培训机会。UCSF的流变学和临床免疫学课程为医学系和免疫学研究生课程的教师之间的互动和合作提供了出色的环境。此外，基础研究科学家和临床研究科学家之间的实质性互动，以及成人和儿童风湿病学学员的综合研究经验，为我们学科的各个方面创造了尊重的氛围。该计划旨在通过两到三年的严格科学培训来支持六名高素质的个人，其目标是他们将把随后的职业生涯投入到风湿和免疫疾病的研究中。
