Research Training in Pediatric Nephrology

描述（由申请人提供）： 密歇根大学的儿科肾病培训计划旨在招募最好的博士后学员，并为他们提供两个主要轨道之一的高质量研究培训，基础科学或临床研究和流行病学，为儿科肾病的成功学术生涯做准备。培训计划将为医学博士提供强大的临床儿科肾病培训。学员，结合2年或更长时间的密集博士后研究培训，为医学博士。和博士我们的研究培训计划旨在最好地满足每个学员的技能和兴趣。为了在这两个主要研究领域为学员提供出色的指导，培训计划将得到密歇根大学7个不同部门的24名教师的积极支持，他们都在各自的专业领域拥有丰富的研究和指导经验。培训方案还将包括针对每个受训者的研究兴趣的广泛教学内容。基础科学方向的学员将完成为期三个月的研究生研究培训计划，旨在让学员接触各种最先进的技术，并提高他们执行假设驱动和适当控制的研究的技能。临床调查和流行病学轨道的学员将选择专注于结果和流行病学或临床研究。这些学员将完成一门课程，获得生物统计学和流行病学公共卫生硕士学位或临床研究设计和统计分析硕士学位。除了正式课程外，受训人员还将参加每周的临床和研究研讨会以及每月的研究会议。指导研究将由医学院，儿科系，儿科肾脏病部，普通儿科部，内科肾脏病部，肾脏流行病学和成本中心以及临床研究中心的临床研究培训核心的资源支持。为了优化每个学员的潜力，发展一个成功的学术生涯，并确保儿科肾病委员会的资格，学员还将被要求提交摘要的国家会议，提交至少一个第一作者的研究手稿，并申请个人赠款资金。我们培训计划的前毕业生在儿科肾脏病学发展成功的学术事业方面有着良好的记录。扩大和加强我们的培训计划将有助于缓解成功的儿科肾病学家和儿科医生-科学家的严重短缺。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Pediatric Nephrology Training Program at the University of Michigan is designed to recruit the best post-doctoral trainees and to provide them with high quality research training in one of two major tracks, Basic Science or Clinical Investigation and Epidemiology in preparation for successful academic careers in Pediatric Nephrology. The Training Program will provide strong clinical Pediatric Nephrology training for M.D. trainees, combined with 2 or more years of intensive postdoctoral research training for M.D. and Ph.D. trainees using an individualized and closely-mentored research training program designed to best fit each trainee's skills and interests. In order to provide outstanding mentorship for the trainees in these two major research areas, the Training Program will be actively supported by 24 faculty from 7 different departments at the University of Michigan, all of whom have extensive research and mentoring experience within their area of expertise. The Training Program will also include an extensive didactic component tailored to each trainee's research interests. Trainees in the Basic Science track will complete a three-month Postgraduate Research Training Program designed to expose trainees to a variety of state-of-the-art techniques, as well as to enhance their skills in performing hypothesis-driven and appropriately controlled research studies. Trainees in the Clinical Investigation and Epidemiology track will choose between a focus on Outcomes and Epidemiology or Clinical Research. These trainees will all complete a course of study leading to either a Master of Public Health in Biostatistics and Epidemiology degree or a Master of Science in Clinical Research Design and Statistical Analysis degree. In addition to their formal curriculum, the trainees will attend weekly clinical and research seminars and monthly research conferences. Mentored research will be supported by the resources of the Medical School, the Department of Pediatrics, the Division of Pediatric Nephrology, the Division of General Pediatrics, the Division of Nephrology in the Department of Internal Medicine, the Kidney Epidemiology and Cost Center and the Clinical Research Training Core of the Center for the Advancement of Clinical Research. To optimize each trainee's potential for development of a successful academic career and to ensure Pediatric Nephrology Board eligibility, trainees will also be required to submit abstracts to national meetings, submit at least one first-authored research manuscript, and apply for individual grant funding. Previous graduates of our Training Program have an excellent record of developing successful academic careers in Pediatric Nephrology. Expansion and enhancement of our Training Program will help to alleviate the critical shortage of successful Pediatric Nephrologists and Pediatric Physician-Scientists.
