Distance Learning Models for Clinical Research Training

描述（由申请人提供）： 该项目的长期目标是，通过增加在临床研究的定量和方法学方法方面经过验证的学术培训，加强全国临床研究人员库的多样性和深度。 自1986年以来，杜克大学医学中心的临床研究培训计划为临床研究员和其他卫生专业人员提供了临床研究定量和方法技术方面的正式学术课程。 1998年，与Warren G.在美国国立卫生研究院的马格努森临床中心，培训计划通过混合远程学习模式将其范围扩大到临床研究员和其他卫生专业人员。 该提案的具体目标是：（1）完善和扩大杜克大学医学中心的CRTP;（2）通过扩大CRTP的覆盖范围来增加受训人员的多样性;（3）评估这些举措的影响并分享经验教训。 这将通过改善课程整合与临床研究的核心能力，通过与莫尔豪斯医学院的临床研究计划科学硕士正式培训合作伙伴关系增加学生群体的多样性，开发新的培训计划，重点是医学基因组学，开发额外的在线教学产品，以及确定和测试新技术，以促进对学生的远程指导。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The long-term goal of this project is to enhance the diversity and depth of the national pool of clinical investigators by increasing the availability of proven academic training in the quantitative and methodological methods of clinical research. The Clinical Research Training Program at Duke University Medical Center has offered a formalized academic program in the quantitative and methodological techniques of clinical research to clinical fellows and other health professionals since 1986. In 1998, in collaboration with the Warren G. Magnuson Clinical Center at NIH, the training program extended its reach to clinical fellows and other health professionals at NIH by means of a blended distance learning model. The specific aims of this proposal are (1) to refine and expand the CRTP at Duke University Medical Center; (2) to increase the diversity of trainees by expanding CRTP's outreach; and (3) to evaluate the impact of these initiatives and share the lessons learned. This will be accomplished by improving curriculum integration with core competencies in clinical research, increasing the diversity of the student population through a formal training partnership with Morehouse School of Medicine's Master of Science in Clinical Research Program, developing a new training program focusing on medical genomics, developing additional online instructional offerings, and identifying and testing new technologies to promote the mentoring of students at a distance.
