Development of Clinician/Researchers in Academic ENT

描述（由申请人提供）：该培训计划提供了一个途径，指导受过医学培训的个人走向学术耳鼻喉科的成功研究生涯。研究经验和培训分为两个级别。在第一级，医学生进行短期（约2-3个月的持续时间）研究项目，旨在激发研究的普遍兴趣和对耳鼻喉科研究问题的特定兴趣。一个既定的机制，以确保立即访问所有感兴趣的医学生在夏季研究是通过招生和学生事务助理院长到位。选定的研究导师和T-32项目主任负责管理这一级别的培训。在第二个层次，居民选择进入为期7年的“高级医生学者计划”的特殊居住匹配机制进行深入的指导研究，在连续两年的时间内，免费的临床责任。区块研究期通常发生在外科实习后，但可以转移，以允许至少一名学者在开始受保护的研究区块之前获得额外的临床培训和研究准备时间。预计研究块将为个人提供一个“家庭实验室”，他们将继续他们的调查，重点是提高他们的研究技能和赠款写作经验，通过竞争小额赠款，在他们随后几年的临床培训中获得额外的资金。为每位学者挑选一个由三名成员组成的学员咨询小组;该小组协助学员选择项目和研究导师。此后，研究导师和咨询小组指导学员通过两年的具体实践研究培训和正在进行的研究课程，该课程基于赠款写作，手稿准备，公开演讲和负责任的研究行为，特别强调利益冲突，负责任的作者，处理不当行为的政策，关于使用人类和动物受试者的政策，数据管理，和数据共享。里程碑的时间线和质量基准是为学员在整个7年的居住，具体为他们工作的科学界。整个大学的基础和临床研究研讨会和会议，以及华盛顿大学教师和学员的双周联合研究会议，每月的医生-科学家会议，以及年度住院研究日演讲提供了额外的“研究文化”体验。报告，竞争，并出席国家研究会议，大力鼓励。由于研究是最佳患者护理的重要组成部分，医生-科学家至关重要，该计划的具体目标是培训个人成功竞争NIH赞助的研究奖项，从而鼓励持续和富有成效的研究生涯。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This training program provides a pathway directing medically trained individuals toward a successful research career in academic otolaryngology. Research experience and training are available at two levels. At the first level, medical students perform short (approximately 2-3 month duration) research projects designed to stimulate a general interest in research and a specific interest in otolaryngological research questions. An established mechanism to insure immediate access to all medical students interested in summer research is in place through the Assistant Dean for Admissions and Student Affairs. The selected research mentor and the T-32 program director manage training at this level. At the second level, residents selected into the 7-year "Advanced Physician Scholars Program" by a special residency match mechanism perform mentored research in depth, in a contiguous two-year period, free of clinical responsibilities. The block research period generally takes place after the surgical internship, but may be shifted to allow at least one of the Scholars to obtain additional clinical training and research preparation time before beginning the protected research block. It is expected that the research block will provide the individual with a "home laboratory" in which they will continue their investigations with emphasis on increasing their research skills and grant writing experience by competing for small grants for additional funding throughout their subsequent years of clinical training. For each scholar a three member Trainee Advisory Panel is chosen; this panel assists the trainee in selecting a project and research mentor. Thereafter, the research mentor and Advisory Panel guide the trainee through the two years of specific hands-on research training and an ongoing study curriculum based upon grant writing, manuscript preparation, public speaking and responsible conduct of research, with special emphasis on conflict of interest, responsible authorship, policies for handling misconduct, policies regarding the use of human and animal subjects, data management, and data-sharing. Milestone time-lines and quality benchmarks are set for the trainees throughout their complete 7-year residency, specific for the community of science in which they work. Basic and clinical research seminars and conferences throughout the University as well as biweekly combined research conferences of Washington University faculty and trainees, monthly Physician- Scientist Conferences, and the annual Resident Research Day presentations provide an additional "research culture" experience. Presentation, competition, and attendance at national research meetings are strongly encouraged. Because research is a vital component of optimal patient care and physician- scientists are crucial, the specific aim of the program is to train individuals to compete successfully for NIH- sponsored research awards thereby encouraging a sustained and productive research career.
