DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Department of Surgery, and the American College of Surgeons Oncology Group (ACOSOG), at the Duke University School of Medicine (DUSM) request funding to support a training program focused on educating surgeons in the theory and practice of clinical research. This proposal addresses a serious problem in the management of patients with malignant diseases; the distinct paucity of surgeons knowledgeable or experienced in clinical epidemiology and quantitative medicine. The proposed training program presents the opportunity for house officers in general surgery, and every surgical specialty, to participate in a two-year curriculum, which will provide formal didactic course work and practical experience in clinical trials research. There are particular strengths within the DUSM, which support and ensure the success of this training grant: 1) The Department of Surgery, where the training grant will be based, has a long and distinguished record of educating academic surgeons. 2) The Clinical Research Training Program (CRTP), taught by the faculties of the Department of Biostatistics and Bioinformatics and the Duke Clinical Research Institute (DCRI), through an excellent structured curriculum will provide the trainee with the fundamental knowledge and skills necessary for a successful academic career in clinical research. 3) The DCRI, where the ACOSOG is physically located, is an established, academically based research organization, which provides abundant resources and experience in clinical trials methodology and practice. 4) The ACOSOG is the only clinical trial group funded by the National Cancer Institute, whose primary mission is to perform clinical studies designed to evaluate the surgical management of patients with malignant solid tumors. The unique combination of resources, available at the DUSM, the support of the proposed training program by academic and practicing surgeons in the United States and the need for a national infrastructure of surgeons, who are well trained in the practice of clinical research, makes this proposal especially timely. Four house officers will be selected annually for this training program and the majority will be recruited from institutions other than the Duke University Medical Center. The Iong-term objective of the program is to prepare house officers for academic careers in clinical research and quantitative medicine. Upon completing this training program and their subsequent residency education, trainees will be positioned to join academic departments as accomplished investigators in the rapidly emerging fields of clinical research and evidence-based medicine.

描述（由申请人提供）：杜克大学医学院（DUSM）的外科系和美国外科医生肿瘤学学会（ACOSOG）要求提供资金，以支持一项培训计划，重点是在临床研究的理论和实践方面对外科医生进行教育。 该提案解决了恶性疾病患者管理中的一个严重问题;在临床流行病学和定量医学方面知识丰富或经验丰富的外科医生明显缺乏。 拟议的培训计划为普外科和每个外科专业的内部人员提供了参加为期两年的课程的机会，该课程将提供正式的教学课程和临床试验研究的实践经验。 DUSM内部有特殊的优势，支持并确保培训补助金的成功：1）培训补助金将基于外科部门，在教育学术外科医生方面有着悠久而杰出的记录。 2)临床研究培训计划（CRTP）由生物统计学和生物信息学系以及杜克临床研究所（DCRI）的教师授课，通过优秀的结构化课程，将为学员提供成功的临床研究学术生涯所需的基本知识和技能。 3)DCRI是ACOSOG的物理所在地，是一个成熟的学术研究组织，在临床试验方法和实践方面提供了丰富的资源和经验。 4)ACOSOG是唯一一个由美国国家癌症研究所资助的临床试验小组，其主要使命是进行旨在评估恶性实体瘤患者手术治疗的临床研究。 独特的资源组合，在DUSM可用，在美国的学术和执业外科医生的拟议培训计划的支持和外科医生的国家基础设施的需要，谁是训练有素的临床研究实践，使这个建议特别及时。 每年将为这一培训计划挑选四名内务官员，其中大多数将从杜克大学医学中心以外的机构招募。 该计划的长期目标是为临床研究和定量医学的学术生涯做好准备。 在完成这个培训计划和随后的住院医师教育后，学员将被定位为加入学术部门，在临床研究和循证医学的快速新兴领域完成调查。
