DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The objective of this continuing program is to provide veterinary students with an opportunity to engage in hypothesis-based biomedical research during the formative stages of their education. Veterinarians, and the veterinary profession in general, have much to contribute to scientific discovery in medical disciplines. An education in veterinary medicine is inherently broad-based and comparative. Veterinary students are trained to integrate medical literature from a variety of sources dealing with the full array of animal species, using problem solving and comparative approaches to evaluate disease pathogenesis and therapeutic strategies from molecular mechanisms through whole animal clinical features. As such, an education in veterinary medicine provides a solid and broad foundation upon which to develop a focused area of scientific expertise. Helping veterinary students discover this synergy and enhancing their interest in biomedical research is the goal of the current training proposal. The program will center on the trainee working full-time in a research laboratory, conducting experiments with the guidance and direct supervision of a faculty mentor. Disciplines represented by participating Cornell University faculty include infectious diseases, genetics, physiology, cancer biology, reproductive biology, toxicology, and food safety. Supporting sessions will include seven research information modules delivered in a small group discussion format with a special emphasis on animal-based experimental systems. Module topics include: 1) cell and molecular biology, 2) genomics and proteomics, 3) transgenic animal models, 4) comparative animal-based biomedical research involving non-rodent models, 5) infectious diseases and food safety, 6) experimental design and statistical analyses, and 7) laboratory animal medicine and comparative pathology. Students will also complete a graduate course focused on ethics and professional responsibilities of research scientists. Structured time outside of the laboratory, however, will not exceed two hours in any given week.

描述（由申请人提供）：该持续计划的目的是为兽医学生提供在教育的形成阶段进行基于假设的生物医学研究的机会。兽医和一般的兽医职业，为医学学科中的科学发现做出了很大的贡献。兽医学的教育本质上是基于广泛的和比较的。培训了兽医学生，从各种涉及各种动物物种的来源中整合医学文献，采用问题解决和比较方法来评估疾病的发病机理和通过整个动物临床特征从分子机制中评估疾病的发病机理和治疗策略。因此，兽医学的教育为建立一个专注的科学专业知识领域提供了坚实而广泛的基础。帮助兽医学生发现这种协同作用并增强他们对生物医学研究的兴趣是当前培训建议的目标。 该计划将集中在学员在研究实验室全职工作的中心，并在教师导师的指导和直接监督下进行实验。由参与康奈尔大学的教师代表的学科包括传染病，遗传学，生理学，癌症生物学，生殖生物学，毒理学和食品安全。支持会议将包括以小组讨论格式提供的七个研究信息模块，并特别强调基于动物的实验系统。模块主题包括：1）细胞和分子生物学，2）基因组学和蛋白质组学，3）转基因动物模型，4）涉及非隆起模型的比较基于动物的生物医学研究，5）感染性疾病和食品安全，6）实验设计和统计分析，以及7）实验动物医学和比较病理学。学生还将完成一门研究生课程，专注于研究科学家的道德和专业责任。但是，在任何给定的一周内，实验室以外的结构化时间都不会超过两个小时。
