Training Program in Hematology

描述(由申请人提供)： 拟议的培训计划的目的是为拥有医学博士和/或博士学位的合格受训人员在血液学和相关领域的研究生涯做准备。由于血液学作为一门临床学科的蜕变，最近吸引的纯血液学家越来越少，本培训计划旨在培养拥有博士学位的候选人，以开始以血液学为重点的生物医学研究生涯。多年来，随着对恶性血液学的兴趣增强，人们对非恶性血液学的兴趣已经减弱。血液学研究人员的培训也见证了这一趋势。不管这种趋势如何，这一培训计划的教职员工都是经过委员会认证的血液学家，他们也是公认的或新兴的科学家。随着更多的专业知识加入教师队伍，该项目处于有利地位，可以在不同领域培训医学博士和/或博士候选人成为血液学研究人员。为了实现我们的目标 卓越的培训，每个受训者都参加了一个课程，提供教学机会和 与全职教员一起当实验室学徒，最终成为一名独立的 调查员。该计划得到了机构基础设施的良好支持，这些机构基础设施支持科学写作方面的培训、临床调查方法方面的培训、研究伦理方面的培训以及信息学等新兴技术的研讨会。培训教员由资助的高级研究员和初级研究员组成，他们跨越与血液学研究直接相关的学科。这些教师的专业知识涵盖了广泛的生物医学研究，从基础分子生物学和遗传学到以患者为中心的研究和信息学。经过遴选委员会的审查，竞争性学员将被选中并录取，为期至少两年。该计划现已接近第三个十年，为培养许多有成就的生物医学科学家和内科科学家做出了贡献，其中一些人已经在学术上崭露头角。在下一个资助期，该计划准备让受训人员接触到新兴技术，这些技术将探索和获取人类基因组计划的成果 血液病的改善。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of the proposed training program is to prepare qualified trainees with an M.D. and/or Ph.D. degree for a research career in hematology and related fields. Because of the metamorphosis of hematology as a clinical discipline, which has recently attracted fewer and fewer pure hematologists, this training program seeks to train candidates with doctoral degrees to embark in a career in biomedical research with a specific emphasis in hematology. The interest in non-malignant hematology has diminished over the years as interest in malignant hematology gained momentum. The training of hematology researchers has also witnessed this trend. Regardless of this trend, the faculty of this training program is abundantly staffed by board certified hematologists who are also established or emerging scientists. With additional expertise added to the faculty, this program is well positioned to train M.D. and/or Ph.D. candidates in a variety of areas to become hematology researchers. To achieve our goal of excellence in training, each trainee engages in a curriculum that provides didactic exposure and laboratory apprenticeship with a full-time faculty member, leading to a career as an independent investigator. The program is well-supported by institutional infrastructures which supports training in scientific writing, methods in clinical investigation, research ethics, and workshops on emerging technologies such as informatics. The training faculty consists of funded senior investigator as well as junior investigators spanning disciplines that are directly linked to hematology research. The expertise of the faculty covers biomedical research broadly, from basic molecular biology and genetics to patient-oriented research and informatics. Competitive trainees will be selected and admitted for at least two years after a review by a selection committee. This program, now approaching its third decade, has contributed to the training of many accomplished biomedical scientists and physician-scientists, some of whom have risen to academic prominence. In the next funding period, the program is poised to expose trainees to emerging technologies that will explore and capture the fruits of the human genome project for the betterment of hematological illnesses.
