Description: (provided by applicant): This proposal describes a unique multidisciplinary physician-scientist training program that will be created at Baylor College of Medicine. It will be a school-wide program that is open to all clinical and basic science departments. It represents an effort at Baylor to reverse the national trend in the decline in the number of physicians who are going into academic research-oriented careers. In the last quarter of a century, a declining number of physician-scientists pursing avenues of biomedical research was noted first by James B. Wyngaarden 1977, and subsequently, repeatedly, by other leaders in biomedicine and, recently, by members of congress. We at Baylor have established a pilot program to support physicians from any of the clinical departments to undergo rigorous research training in NIH-funded basic science laboratories. We are seeking support for the Program that has been named the Molecular Medicine Scholars Physician-Scientist Training Program, and the trainees will be called Molecular Medicine Scholars. It is a multidisciplinary program that is open to physician-trainees from all clinical departments at Baylor who will train with mentors selected from nine Departments. The Program covers disease-oriented as well as fundamental research areas that are within the mission of the NHLBI. This exciting program represents a partnership between clinical and basic science departments with the clinical departments buying into the existing excellent basic research activities at Baylor and sharing expenses with the basic science departments, both sharing the common goal of training the next generation of molecular physician-scientists. We are hopeful that the Program will play a significant role in reversing the national trend of increasing numbers of well-trained physicians leaving an academic research oriented career in biomedicine.

描述：（由申请人提供）：该提案描述了将在贝勒医学院创建的独特的多学科医师科学家培训计划。这将是一个全校范围的计划，向所有临床和基础科学部门开放。它代表了贝勒大学为扭转全国从事学术研究职业的医生数量下降的趋势而做出的努力。在过去的四分之一个世纪里，詹姆斯·B·温加登 (James B. Wyngaarden) 于 1977 年首先注意到，从事生物医学研究的医师科学家数量不断减少，随后生物医学界的其他领导人以及最近的国会议员也多次注意到这一点。贝勒大学制定了一项试点计划，支持任何临床部门的医生在 NIH 资助的基础科学实验室接受严格的研究培训。我们正在为该计划寻求支持，该计划已被命名为“分子医学学者医师科学家培训计划”，受训人员将被称为“分子医学学者”。这是一个多学科项目，向贝勒所有临床科室的实习医生开放，他们将与从九个科室选出的导师一起接受培训。该计划涵盖 NHLBI 使命范围内的疾病研究和基础研究领域。这个令人兴奋的项目代表了临床和基础科学部门之间的合作伙伴关系，临床部门购买贝勒现有的优秀基础研究活动，并与基础科学部门分摊费用，两者都有着培养下一代分子医师科学家的共同目标。我们希望该计划将在扭转越来越多训练有素的医生放弃以学术研究为导向的生物医学职业的全国趋势方面发挥重要作用。
