Training Rehabilitation Clinicians for Research Careers

描述(由申请者提供)：医生没有被传授传统的研究方法，除了肤浅的水平，这不能为他们的学术生涯做好准备。此外，物理疗法(DPT)、职业疗法博士(OTD)和临床心理学(心理学和博士)专业学位的博士人数也在增加。这些项目培训博士级别的康复临床医生，但再次提供有限的研究培训。该方案为康复临床医生的研究性培训提供了方案。这项名为为研究生涯培训康复临床医生(TRCRC)的建议的具体目标是：1)增加合格康复研究人员的数量，2)提供多学科临床康复研究的强化博士后培训。该研究计划的基础是具有挑战性的教学课程、临床经验和研究经验。我们将确保培训重点放在临床结果研究上，这将促进康复实践的科学。拟议的方案的管理方式反映了其多学科性质。该计划将在管理、招聘、选举和指导方面有明确的基础设施。项目主任对项目负有最终责任和权力，并担任执行委员会主席。执行委员会由以康复为基础的部门的部门主任组成，负责挑选和审查该方案的潜在研究员。该委员会还对该计划的内容和实施负全面责任。作为接受奖学金计划的一部分，每个博士后候选人都会与一名首席研究导师配对，并成立一个咨询委员会。咨询委员会将包括项目主任和一名高级临床导师。潜在的导师包括医学院、健康与康复科学学院、公共卫生研究生院、艺术与科学学院和工程学院的高级教员。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Physicians are not traditionally taught research methods except on a superficial level that does not prepare them well for academic careers. In addition, there are an increasing number of Doctorates in Physical Therapy (DPT), Occupational Therapy Doctorate (OTD) programs, and professional programs in Clinical Psychology (PsyD and PhD). These programs train rehabilitation clinicians at the doctoral level, but once again provide limited research training. This proposal provides a plan for the research training of rehabilitation clinicians. The Specific Aims for this proposal entitled Training Rehabilitation Clinicians for Research Careers (TRCRC) are: 1) To increase the number of qualified rehabilitation researchers, and 2) to provide intensive postdoctoral training in multidisciplinary clinical rehabilitation research. The program of study is based on a challenging curriculum of didactic instruction, clinical exposures, and research experiences. We will insure that training focuses on clinical outcomes research that will further the science of rehabilitation practice. The proposed program is administered in a manner that is reflective of its multidisciplinary nature. The program will have a definite infrastructure for management, recruitment, election, and mentorship. The Project Director has final responsibility and authority for the program and chairs the Executive Committee. The Executive Committee, composed of department chairs from rehabilitation-based departments, conducts selection and review of prospective fellows for the program. The committee also has overall responsibility for the content and conduct of the program. As part of acceptance into the fellowship program, each postdoctoral candidate is paired with a principal research mentor and an advisory committee is formed. The advisory committee will include the Program Director as well as a senior clinical mentor. Potential mentors include senior faculty from the School of Medicine, School of Health & Rehabilitation Sciences, the Graduate School of Public Health, School of Arts & Sciences, and the School of Engineering.
