DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant) The Center for Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics (CCEB) and the Gastroenterology Division (GD) at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and the University's Leonard Davis Institute (LDI) are seeking the continuation of a highly successful research training program for clinically oriented investigators in Gastrointestinal Clinical Epidemiology. The overriding objective of this program is to train individuals who have completed their clinical training in a relevant medical specialty (e.g., gastroenterology and hepatology, general internal medicine, general surgery) to be rigorous and independent academic investigators skilled in the use of the range of gastrointestinal epidemiology and health services research approaches, methods and techniques. Completion of this training program provides trainees with the capacity to conduct rigorous, critical, hypothesis-driven research in the field of gastroenterology addressing issues of prognosis, prevention, diagnosis and early detection, treatment, decision making, technology assessment (outcomes and effectiveness research), health care economics, and quality of care. This two to three-year training program consists of: 1) a core curriculum of required courses in clinical epidemiology and health services research methodology and biostatistics; 2) a new series of seminars in gastroenterology combining faculty expertise from the CCEB, GD, and LDI; 3) extensive independent readings and individualized preceptorials; 4) participation in CCEB, GD, and LDI research seminars and journal clubs; and 5) completion of an independent research project in gastroenterology/hepatology clinical epidemiology conducted with guidance from and under the supervision of a mentored advisory panel. The program is designed to: 1) provide in-depth knowledge of the research techniques appropriate for clinical epidemiology and clinically-oriented health services research investigation; 2) provide innovative opportunities for research of topics related to gastroenterology/hepatology; 3) provide exposure to and experience with mentors in clinical epidemiology and gastroenterology/hepatology research; and 4) promote integration and cohesiveness between faculty and fellows through participation in CCEB, GD, and LDI lectures, seminars, and journal clubs. Fellows will be candidates for an MS degree in Clinical Epidemiology, a program with a rigorous approach analogous to obtaining a PhD degree. When feasible and appropriate, candidates will be encouraged to seek a PhD degree, building upon the foundation provided by the MS degree program. The strengths of the current Gastroenterology Clinical Epidemiology Training Program are a long history of successful NIH T32 research training programs in the CCEB, GD, and LDI; comprehensive and rigorous courses, seminars, and research programs for trainees; and a rich history of collaborative links among the programs. In addition, there are excellent basic science laboratories in the GD (supported by a combination of R01 grant funded investigators and an NIH/NIDDK Center for Digestive and Liver Diseases) and the Penn medical center, several large databases and tissue banks, and a deep commitment of all School of Medicine Chairpersons and Program Directors to the successful implementation of this training grant. The existence of a K30 grant (Clinical Research Curriculum Award), diverse faculty expertise in the CCEB, GD, and LDI, and recent successes of trainees all provide a strong rationale for the continuation and expansion of this program.

描述(由申请人提供) 临床流行病学和生物统计中心(CCEB)和 宾夕法尼亚大学医学院胃肠病学部 医学和大学的伦纳德·戴维斯研究所(LDI)正在寻求 延续一项非常成功的临床研究培训计划 胃肠道临床流行病学定向研究人员。这个 该计划的首要目标是培训已完成 他们在相关医学专科(例如，胃肠病学)的临床培训 和肝病，普通内科，普通外科)是严格和 独立的学术调查人员熟练地使用范围 胃肠流行病学和卫生服务研究途径、方法 和技巧。完成这一培训计划将为学员提供 能够在该领域进行严谨的、批判性的、假设驱动的研究 胃肠病学讲解预后、预防、诊断和 早期发现、治疗、决策、技术评估(成果 和有效性研究)、卫生保健经济学和保健质量。 这项为期两到三年的培训计划包括：1)核心课程 临床流行病学和卫生服务研究的必修课 方法论和生物统计学；2)新的胃肠病学系列研讨会 结合CCEB、GD和LDI的教师专业知识；3)广泛 独立阅读和个性化训诫；4)参与 CCEB、GD和LDI研究研讨会和期刊俱乐部；以及5)完成 胃肠病/肝病临床独立研究项目 流行病学：在一位专家的指导和监督下进行 有指导的顾问小组。该计划旨在：1)提供深入的 了解适合临床流行病学的研究方法和 面向临床的卫生服务研究调查；2)提供 与以下主题相关的研究的创新机会 胃肠病学/肝脏病学；3)与导师接触并提供经验 临床流行病学和胃肠病/肝病研究；以及4) 通过以下方式促进教职员工之间的融合和凝聚力 参加CCEB、GD和LDI的讲座、研讨会和期刊俱乐部。 研究员将申请临床流行病学硕士学位，这是一个项目 以一种类似于获得博士学位的严格方法。如果可行，并且 在适当的时候，将鼓励候选人在以下基础上攻读博士学位 理科硕士学位课程提供的基础。 当前胃肠病学临床流行病学培训的优势 计划是成功的NIH T32研究培训计划的长期历史 CCEB、GD和LDI；全面而严谨的课程、研讨会和 面向学员的研究计划；以及与 这些节目。此外，中国还有一流的基础科学实验室 GD(由R01赠款资助的调查人员和 NIH/NIDDK消化和肝病中心)和宾夕法尼亚医学中心， 几个大型数据库和组织库，以及所有学校的坚定承诺 医学主席和项目主任为成功实施而努力 这笔培训补助金。K30拨款的存在(临床研究 课程奖)，在CCEB、GD和LDI方面的不同教员专业知识，以及 最近实习生的成功都提供了强有力的理由 这一计划的延续和扩展。
