DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This training program in Geographic Medicine and Emerging Infections will provide a multidisciplinary educational program for predoctoral fellows, postdoctoral research and clinical fellows at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine (AECOM). Our unique program capitalizes upon the longstanding research and clinical strengths at AECOM to create a rigorous research program that will expose trainees to research in parasitology, bacteriology, virology, mycology and clinical infectious diseases. The research program and didactic activities bring together clinicians and basic scientists to foster an environment of collaborative research that is essential for modern biomedical research. Trainees will be mentored by distinguished faculty while pursuing translational research projects that focus on global health, international medicine and emerging infectious diseases. The program will provide training in fundamental methods of basic laboratory research, clinical translational research and epidemiology to create an integrated view of geographic medicine and emerging pathogens. In addition, trainees will be offered opportunities to pursue translational research in collaboration with international collaborators in Brazil, India and South Africa. A dedicated seminar series and other established educational activities will provide a forum for discussion and development of new initiatives. This training program will groom the next generation of young scientists and clinical investigators in the field of Geographic Medicine and Emerging Infections.

描述（申请人提供）：该地理医学和新发传染病培训项目将为阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦医学院（AECOM）的博士前研究员、博士后研究人员和临床研究员提供多学科教育计划。我们独特的项目利用AECOM的长期研究和临床优势，创建了一个严格的研究项目，将使学员接触到寄生虫学、细菌学、病毒学、真菌学和临床传染病的研究。研究项目和教学活动将临床医生和基础科学家聚集在一起，营造一个对现代生物医学研究至关重要的合作研究环境。受训者将在从事以全球卫生、国际医学和新发传染病为重点的转化研究项目时，得到杰出教师的指导。该项目将提供基础实验室研究、临床转化研究和流行病学的基本方法方面的培训，以建立地理医学和新兴病原体的综合观点。此外，学员将有机会与巴西、印度和南非的国际合作者合作进行转化研究。专门的系列讨论会和其他既定的教育活动将为讨论和制定新的倡议提供一个论坛。该培训项目将培养地理医学和新兴感染领域的下一代年轻科学家和临床研究人员。
