Medical Scientist Training Program at Mayo Clinic

分布：（申请人提供）：在美国，未来杰出的医疗保健的一个关键要求是培养医生-科学家，他们将研究最终与临床问题相关的基础科学问题。医学博士的使命/博士马约医学院和研究生院的一项计划是在实验室基础科学家的方法、工具和学科方面训练少数有天赋的学生，同时也帮助他们发展减轻人类痛苦的技能。马约MSTP的教师将包括马约诊所57名最富有成效、资金充足的研究科学家，他们具有指导年轻科学家的能力。无缝集成的医学博士/博士马约医学院和马约研究生院之间的一个项目平行于马约的基础研究和临床研究的完全整合。这些博士之间的合作。科学家和医生科学家为医学博士的未来职业生涯建模。博士学生 马约医学博士/博士该计划每年招收大约6名新生进入医学院O 42班。医学博士/博士学生是从每年约150名全国最有才华的未来医生科学家的申请者中挑选出来的。在M.D./博士把他们培养成高产的基础科学家。综合基础科学核心课程和研究的方案方法允许灵活地获得优秀的研究教师作为马约MSTP学生的导师。虽然这是一个相对年轻的计划，39名学生已经毕业，36名目前正在注册。毕业生继续走向成功的职业生涯，并继续作出重大的科学贡献。作为NIGMS指定的MSTP，马约计划将能够进一步改进和增加其对培训急需的医生科学家的影响，这些医生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.
