Medical Scientist Training Program at Mayo Clinic

DSCRIPTION：(由申请者提供)：美国未来杰出的医疗保健的一个关键要求是培训内科科学家，他们将研究最终与临床问题有关的基础科学问题。梅奥医学院和研究生院的医学博士项目的使命是培训少数有天赋的学生，掌握实验室基础科学家的方法、工具和学科，同时帮助他们发展减轻人类痛苦的技能。梅奥MSTP的教职员工将包括梅奥诊所57名生产率最高、资金最充足的研究科学家，他们被证明有能力指导年轻科学家。梅奥医学院和梅奥研究生院之间医学博士/博士项目的无缝整合与梅奥基础研究和临床研究的完全整合并驾齐驱。博士科学家和内科科学家之间的这些合作为医学博士/博士学生的未来职业生涯树立了榜样。 梅奥医学/博士项目每年在医学院42班招收大约6名新学生。医学博士/博士研究生是从美国约150名未来最有才华的内科科学家组成的年度申请者库中挑选出来的。在他们的医学博士/博士训练期间，他们成长为高生产率的基础科学家。综合的基础科学核心课程和研究计划方法允许灵活地选择优秀的研究人员作为梅奥MSTP学生的导师。尽管这是一个相对年轻的项目，但已有39名学生毕业，目前有36名学生入学。毕业生继续走向成功的职业生涯，并继续做出重大的科学贡献。作为NIGMS指定的MSTP，Mayo计划将能够进一步改善和增加其对培训急需的内科科学家的影响，这些科学家准备将生物医学信息的爆炸性增长应用于重要的临床问题。

DSCRIPTION: (provided by applicant): A critical requirement for the future of outstanding health care in the United States is the training of physician-scientists who will investigate fundamental basic science questions which ultimately relate to clinical problems. The mission of the M.D./Ph.D. program of Mayo Medical and Graduate Schools is to train a small number of gifted students in the methods, tools and disciplines of the laboratory basic scientist, while also helping them develop skills for relieving human suffering. The faculty for the Mayo MSTP will include 57 of the most highly productive, well-funded research scientists at the Mayo Clinic with demonstrated abilities for mentoring young scientists. The seamless integration of the M.D./Ph.D. program between Mayo Medical School and Mayo Graduate School parallels the complete integration of basic research and clinical investigation at Mayo. These collaborations among Ph.D. scientists and physician scientists model the future careers for M.D./Ph.D. students. The Mayo M.D./Ph.D. program enrolls approximately 6 new students each year in a medical school class o 42. M.D./Ph.D. students are selected from an annual applicant pool of about 150 of the most talented future physician scientists in the country. During their M.D./Ph.D. training they mature into highly productive basic scientists. The integrated basic science core curriculum and programmatic approach to research allows flexible access to an outstanding selection of research faculty as mentors for Mayo MSTP students. Although this is a relatively young program, 39 students have graduated and 36 are currently enrolled. Graduates are continuing on toward successful careers and continuing to make significant scientific contributions. As an NIGMS-designated MSTP the Mayo program will be able to further improve and increase its impact on the training of much-needed physician scientists prepared to apply the explosive growth in biomedical information to important clinical problems.
