Training - Infectious Disease, Microbiology & Immunology

超出所提供的空间。 人们越来越担心在这个国家接受培训的医生科学家的数量严重下降。医生科学家是医学研究链中的关键环节。调查显示，对于选择学术职业的医学生来说，一个重要的影响是在医学院期间有机会获得指导性的研究经验。该培训补助金的目的是支持布法罗医学院大学医学生的夏季研究奖学金。 在过去的十年中，传染病、微生物学和免疫学领域产生了大量的研究活动。新的技术和发现已经彻底改变了这些学科的研究。 布法罗大学拥有丰富而令人兴奋的环境，可以在这些领域进行研究。该培训补助金将支持八名一年级和二年级医学生在夏季课程期间花10周时间进行指导研究项目的津贴。少数族裔申请人将积极招募。20名活跃的教师，校外资助的研究项目将作为学生的导师库。该计划的基础将是由教师指导的原创研究经验，这些教师是该领域的专家，在指导学员方面有着非常成功的记录。每周一次的研讨会/讨论系列，在此期间，教师将讨论他们自己的研究，穿插在科学诚信和相关问题的会议将促进研究经验。 学生将在每年秋季的年度研究日展示他们的工作。将寻求学生和教师的反馈，并跟踪参与学生的职业选择。性能现场=

EXCEED THE SPACE PROVIDED. There is growing concern about a serious decline in the number of physician scientists being trained in this country. Physician scientists are a critical link in the medical research chain. Surveys have revealed thatan important influence for medical students who choose academic careers is the opportunityfor a mentored research experience during medical school. The purpose of this training grant is to support summer research fellowships for medical students at the Universityat Buffalo School Medicine. Over the past decade, the areas of infectiousdiseases, microbiology and immunologyhave generated intense research activity. New techniques and discoveries have revolutionizedresearch in these disciplines. The University at Buffalo has a rich and exciting environment to perform research in these areas. This training grant will support stipends for eight first and second year medical studentsto spend 10 weeks during their summer sessions performing a mentored research project. Minority applicants will be actively recruited. Twenty faculty members with active, extramurally funded research programs will serve as a pool of mentors for students.The foundation of the program will be the experience of performing original research guided by faculty who are experts in the field with highly successful track records in mentoring trainees. A weekly seminar/discussion series during which faculty will discuss their own research interspersed with sessions on scientific integrity and related issues will supplementthe research experience. Students will present their work at an annual research day each fall. Feedback from students and faculty will be sought and the career choices of the participating students will be tracked.
