Pitt Clinical Research Training-Geriatrics/Gerontology

描述（由申请人提供）：匹兹堡遗传学和老年学临床研究培训计划的目标是培养老年医学临床研究人员。我们将提供两个方案;一个为期三年的博士后经验和两个为期两个月的研究块嵌入在一个为期四年的“集中在老年医学”课程的医学学生计划。皮特的老年医学调查人员将担任主要导师。从基础的额外教师导师。临床、表皮学和社会/行为科学在失禁、骨质疏松、睡眠、心血管疾病等衰老研究方面提供了卓越的优势。残疾和康复。抑郁症、神经损伤和恢复以及护理。 博士后计划被整合到卓越计划的皮特哈特福德中心的临床研究者轨道。博士后研究员将是完成临床老年医学研究金的医生，有或没有额外的专科医学培训。获得能力的三个主要领域是1）一般人类研究，2）衰老特定的人类研究问题和3）一个特别关注的领域。每个博士后培训生将执行一个单独的培训计划。该计划包括一个监督的研究经验。结构化教学法和小组研讨会。课程工作导致硕士学位可通过K30临床研究培训计划。核心研究研讨会是通过老年医学司赞助的。头五年成功的主要指标将是获得个人职业发展奖的受训人员人数 医学生将在第一年进入夏季，进行为期两个月的研究，并在第四年进行另一项研究。该计划，嵌入在一个既定的“集中在老年医学证书领域”，提供了四年以上的接触和兴趣的连续性。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of the Pittsburgh Clinical Research Training Program in genatrics and Gerontology is to produce geriatrician clinician-investigators. We will offer two programs; a three-year postdoctoral experience and a medical student program of two, two-month research blocks embedded in a four-year "concentration in geriatrics" curriculum. Geriatrician investigators at Pitt will serve as primary mentors. Additional faculty mentors from basic. clinical, epiderniological and social/behavioral sciences offer exceptional strength in aging research in incontinence, osteoporosis, sleep,cardiovascular disease. disability and rehabilitation. depression, neural injury and recovery, and care giving. The postdoctoral program is integrated into the Clinical Investigator track of the Pitt Hartford Center of Excellence program. Postdoctoral fellows will be physicians who have completed clinical geriatrics fellowship with or without additional subspecialty medical training. The three main areas of competence to be gained are 1) general human studies research, 2) aging specific human studies issues and 3) a special focus area. Each post doctoral trainee will carry out an individual training plan. The program includes a supervised research experience. structured didactics and small-group seminars. Course work leading to a Masters Degree is available through a K30 Clinical Research Training Program. Core research seminars are sponsored through the Geriatrics Division. The primary indicator of the success in the first five years will be the number of trainees who achieve individual career development awards Medical students will enter the summer after the first year with a two-month research block and take another during the fourth year. The program, embedded in an established "area of concentration certificate in geriatrics", provides continuity of contact and interest over four years.
