DESCRIPTION(Provided by Applicant): A long-term goal of the Department of Dermatology at The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center is to produce scientific leaders in skin biology and skin disease. To help sustain this goal, we propose a new Dermatology Research Training Program for post-doctoral candidates that will take full advantage of the outstanding scientific environment and collection of excellent research investigators at Southwestern, the leadership and high reputation of its Dermatology Department and Residency Program, and the talent and promise of scientifically-grounded and academically-committed applicants to dermatology residency. While recruitment is targeted to the latter individuals [MD or MD/PhD candidates who wish to combine training in clinical dermatology and laboratory research (2+2+ track)], the Program is also open to PhD candidates who aspire for a dermatology-based research career. Integral to the Program is a selection process that emphasizes quality of previous research experiences and potential for independent investigation. Led by an established investigator with a firm commitment to science and education and a record of effective administration, the Program brings together a stellar group of faculty members with overlapping expertise that span biochemistry, cell biology, developmental biology, genetics, immunology, microbiology, molecular biology, pathology, pharmacology, and physiology. To enrich the specialty and foster cross-pollination with other fields, dermatology-based trainees are encouraged to train with non-dermatology-based investigators whose research relates directly or can be applied to skin biology and disease. By contrast, PhD trainees are required to train with dermatology-based preceptors or co-preceptors. To promote a good fit between trainee and preceptor and to ensure smooth transitions within the 2+2+ track, trainees are informed about and exposed to the widest breadth of scientific faculty, forums, and resources at Southwestern as early as the application period and throughout the course of training. Finally, to develop academic leadership careers while fostering scientific growth, a mentoring program designed to challenge, inspire, and position trainees to scale greater heights is in place.

描述（由申请人提供）： 德克萨斯大学西南医学中心皮肤科的长期目标是培养皮肤生物学和皮肤病领域的科学领导者。为了帮助维持这一目标，我们为博士后候选人提出了一项新的皮肤病学研究培训计划，该计划将充分利用西南大学出色的科学环境和优秀研究人员的集合、皮肤病学系和住院医师计划的领导力和声誉，以及具有科学基础和学术奉献精神的皮肤病学住院医师申请者的才能和承诺。虽然招募对象是后者[希望将临床皮肤病学培训和实验室研究（2+2+轨道）结合起来的医学博士或医学博士/博士候选人]，但该计划也向渴望从事皮肤病学研究职业的博士候选人开放。该计划的一个组成部分是一个选择过程，强调先前研究经验的质量和独立调查的潜力。该项目由一位坚定致力于科学和教育并拥有有效管理记录的资深研究人员领导，汇集了一批具有交叉专业知识的优秀教职人员，涵盖生物化学、细胞生物学、发育生物学、遗传学、免疫学、微生物学、分子生物学、病理学、药理学和生理学。为了丰富专业并促进与其他领域的交叉授粉，鼓励皮肤病学学员与非皮肤病学研究人员一起培训，这些研究人员的研究直接涉及或可应用于皮肤生物学和疾病。相比之下，博士生必须接受皮肤病学导师或副导师的培训。为了促进学员和导师之间的良好契合，并确保 2+2+ 轨道内的顺利过渡，学员早在申请期间和整个培训过程中就了解并接触到西南大学最广泛的科学教师、论坛和资源。最后，为了发展学术领导职业，同时促进科学发展，我们制定了一项指导计划，旨在挑战、激励和定位受训者，以达到更高的高度。
