Surgical Oncology Research Training

描述（由申请人提供）：该外科肿瘤学培训计划旨在吸引和培训具有外科临床背景的医生参加为期两年的基础肿瘤学研究奖学金。该计划的主要重点将是对研究技能的发展，有一个翻译适用于临床外科肿瘤学。这将通过受训者与佛罗里达大学/尚兹癌症中心的一名已建立的癌症研究调查员的密切个人参与来实现，该调查员具有培训医生科学家的经验。受训者将全面参与癌症研究调查员的研究计划，因此将与其他博士后研究员，研究生和基础科学教师互动。此外，每位学员还将有一名外科肿瘤学临床导师，以帮助协调学员的转化研究重点。该计划的第一年强调研究方法，课程和基础科学技术，以确保研究员获得癌症研究各个领域的知识和方法。正式的课程将由受训者完成个性化的课程，如基因组学，信号转导/细胞信号传导和细胞凋亡，干细胞生物学。随着个人研究项目的成熟，他们将正式向项目规划委员会提交他们的工作，以确保成功完成他们的培训计划。此外，他们将在国家和国际会议上提交和介绍他们的调查结果。 学员的选择将是竞争性的，并将为个人谁已经完成了他们的临床培训，或谁已经完成了两到三年的住院医师，如果他们表现出特殊的承诺，作为学术外科医生。共有两名受训人员将参加该方案，每年选出一名研究员，为期两年。 该培训计划的总体目标是准备优秀的外科医生与外科肿瘤学的研究培训，成功地竞争，并获得过渡资金，成为独立的研究者在外科肿瘤学的最终目标。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This Surgical Oncology Training Program is designed to attract and train physicians with a clinical background in surgery in a two-year fellowship of basic oncological research. The major emphasis of this program will be on the development of research skills that have a translational applicability to clinical surgical oncology. This will be accomplished through an intense, personal involvement of the trainee with an established cancer research investigator at the University of Florida/Shands Cancer Center who has experience in the training of physician scientists. The trainee will be expected to fully participate in the research program of the cancer research investigator, and will therefore interact with other post-doctoral fellows, graduate students and basic science faculty. In addition, each trainee will also have a clinical mentor in surgical oncology to help to coordinate the trainee's translational research focus. The first year of the program emphasizes research methodology, coursework, and basic science techniques to ensure that the fellows receive the knowledge and methodology in various fields of cancer research. Formal coursework will be completed by the trainee in individualized programs such as genomics, signal transduction/cell signaling and apoptosis, and stem cell biology. As the individual's own research project matures, they will formally present their work to the Program Planning Committee to ensure successful completion of their training plan. Furthermore, they will be expected to submit and present their findings at national and international meetings. Selection of the trainees will be competitive and will be for individuals who have either completed their clinical training, or who have completed two to three years of residency, if they demonstrate exceptional promise as academic surgeons. A total of two trainees will participate in the program, one fellow being selected annually for a two-year period. The overall goal of this training program is to prepare outstanding surgeons with the research training in surgical oncology to successfully compete for and obtain transitional funding with the ultimate goal of becoming independent investigators in surgical oncology.
