DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We propose a Medical Microbiology fellowship program that will provide training in the appropriate laboratory diagnosis, control, and approach to the treatment of infectious diseases. Graduates of the program will be qualified to expertly manage the diagnostic microbiology laboratory, consult with clinicians on the selection and interpretation of medical microbiology tests, establish and direct the infection control program for a healthcare organization, and lead the antibiotic formulary committee so as to optimize the wise use of antimicrobial agents and minimize the emergence of resistance toward these compounds. They will also be trained to design and conduct research projects leading to scientific advancement in the field. A primary motivating factor in seeking funding for this fellowship is recognition that communication between the microbiology laboratory and the clinician is essential to proper selection and interpretation of tests and results, and this program will be unique in its focus on the development of communication skills between clinician and microbiologist. It will be co-directed by both a M.D. and a Ph.D. trained Microbiologist, which will enhance the training program, as each brings a distinct perspective and background to the diagnosis and research of infectious diseases. Along those same concepts, we will offer one position to a M.D. candidate and one position to a Ph.D. candidate, for a total of two fellows per year who will interact and collaborate closely during their training. This program will be offered for a minimum of two years but no more than three years for each trainee. A minimum of one year will be devoted solely to research efforts on a major research project in clinical microbiology, beginning in the second year of training. The training will be centered at Evanston Northwestern Healthcare (ENH), a member of the McGaw Medical Center of Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, which has been named one of America's top 15 teaching hospitals for seven consecutive years. Our program will comply with both American Board of Pathology (ABP) and American Academy of Microbiology Committee on Postgraduate Educational Programs (CPEP) guidelines for accreditation. Fellows completing this program would be eligible for board certification by either the American Board Pathology (ABP - available for those with a M.D.) and/or the American Board of Medical Microbiology (ABMM - available for those with a M.D. or Ph.D.). PARTICIPATING FACULTY: The 35 training faculty include 16 professors, four associate professors, and seven assistant professors. Six of the training faculty are women. Twenty-nine of the faculty are at the University of Minnesota and five are with the Minnesota Department of Health. The primary areas of research include: viral pathogenesis, HIV/AIDS, invasive bacterial infections, antibiotic resistance, mucosal immunity, immunocompromised patients, international and immigrant health, bioterrorism and foodborne infections.

描述(由申请人提供)：我们提出了一个医学微生物学奖学金计划，该计划将提供适当的实验室诊断、控制和治疗传染病的方法方面的培训。该项目的毕业生将有资格熟练地管理诊断微生物学实验室，就医学微生物学测试的选择和解释向临床医生提供咨询，为医疗机构建立和指导感染控制计划，并领导抗生素处方委员会，以优化抗菌剂的明智使用，并将对这些化合物的耐药性降至最低。他们还将接受培训，以设计和实施导致该领域科学进步的研究项目。为这一奖学金寻求资金的一个主要激励因素是认识到微生物学实验室和临床医生之间的沟通对于正确选择和解释测试和结果是必不可少的，该项目将在其关注临床医生和微生物学家之间沟通技能的发展方面具有独到之处。它将由一名医学博士和一名受过博士培训的微生物学家共同指导，这将加强培训计划，因为每个人都为传染病的诊断和研究带来了不同的视角和背景。按照同样的概念，我们将为一名医学博士候选人提供一个职位，为一名博士候选人提供一个职位，每年总共有两名研究员，他们将在培训期间密切互动和合作。这项计划将提供至少两年，但不超过三年的每个学员。从培训的第二年开始，至少一年将专门用于临床微生物学重大研究项目的研究工作。培训将集中在伊利诺伊州埃文斯顿的西北大学麦高医疗中心的成员埃文斯顿西北医疗(ENH)，该医院已连续七年被评为美国15大教学医院之一。我们的计划将符合美国病理委员会(ABP)和美国微生物学会研究生教育委员会(CPEP)关于认证的指导方针。完成这项计划的研究员将有资格获得美国董事会病理学(ABP)的董事会认证(适用于拥有医学博士学位的人)。和/或美国医学微生物学委员会(ABMM-适用于拥有医学博士或博士学位的人)。 参训教员：35名培训教员，其中教授16人，副教授4人，助理教授7人。培训教员中有六名是女性。其中29名教师在明尼苏达大学工作，5名教师在明尼苏达卫生部工作。主要研究领域包括：病毒发病机制、艾滋病毒/艾滋病、侵袭性细菌感染、抗生素耐药性、粘膜免疫、免疫受损患者、国际和移民健康、生物恐怖主义和食源性感染。
