Training of Academic Gynecologic Oncologists

描述（由申请人提供）：德克萨斯大学医学博士妇科肿瘤系的本培训项目的目的是：安德森癌症中心是产生学术妇科肿瘤学家。候选人将持有医学博士或医学博士/博士妇产科及妇科肿瘤学专业本科及专科学历。此外，该计划致力于为学术妇科肿瘤学代表性不足的群体提供研究机会，包括少数民族个人和妇女。提供了一个为期4年的培训计划。该课程将包括24个月的研究培训，然后是24个月的妇科肿瘤临床培训。将提供两种不同类型的研究培训：1）医生-科学家轨道，受训者将在实验室度过24个月，2）基于人口的研究轨道，受训者将在一名或两名教师导师的指导下度过24个月;后一轨道可包括一年的实验室研究，然后是一年的人口研究，或两年的人口研究。此外，在培训计划的研究部分，每个研究员将被要求完成三门核心课程，以及获得高级学位，无论是硕士学位。学位或硕士学位。分别在生物医学科学研究生院或UT公共卫生学院获得学位。在这个培训计划的导师医生，科学家和研究科学家与外部同行评审基金支持的积极研究计划致力于高质量的研究经验，重点是妇科癌症。在癌症生物学，分子治疗学，生物统计学，癌症预防，肿瘤免疫学，分子和细胞肿瘤学，行为科学，癌症遗传学，健康差异，卫生服务研究和流行病学方面有广泛的研究机会。预计这个竞争激烈的培训计划的毕业生将成为该学科的未来领导者，并在制定未来几代妇科肿瘤学家的患者护理，研究和教育议程方面发挥重要作用。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of this training program in the Department of Gynecologic Oncology of the The University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center is to produce academic gynecologic oncologists. Candidates will hold an M.D or M.D./Ph.D. degree and be board eligible in obstetrics and gynecology and the subspecialty of gynecologic oncology. Moreover, the program is committed to providing research opportunities to groups that are underrepresented in academic gynecologic oncology, including minority individuals and women. A 4-year training program is offered. The curriculum will include 24 months of research training followed by 24 months of clinical training in gynecologic oncology. Two different types of research training will be offered: 1) a physician-scientist track in which trainees will spend 24 months in the laboratory, and 2) a population-based research track in which trainees will spend 24 months under the direction of one or two of the faculty mentors; the latter track may include either one year of laboratory-based research followed by a year of population-based research or two years of population-based research. In addition, during the research portion of the training program, each fellow will be required to complete a core of three courses as well as obtain an advanced degree-either an M.S. degree or M.P.H. degree-in the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences or the UT School of Public Health, respectively. The mentors in this training program-physician-scientists and research scientists with active research programs supported by external peer-reviewed funding-are committed to a high quality research experience focused on gynecologic cancers. A broad range of research opportunities are available in cancer biology, molecular therapeutics, biostatistics, cancer prevention, tumor immunology, molecular and cellular oncology, behavior sciences, cancer genetics, health disparities, health services research, and epidemiology. It is expected that graduates of this highly competitive training program will be future leaders in the discipline and play a major role in setting patient care, research, and educational agendas of future generations of gynecologic oncologists.
