Research Training in Heart, Lung, Blood & Sleep Diseases

描述(由申请者提供)：我们的计划为选定的医学院学生提供短期研究培训，为他们提供心血管、肺、血液和睡眠研究方面的职业机会，并让他们接触到生物医学研究职业的兴奋、挑战和回报。该计划每年为30名有才华的医学生提供研究培训，他们将连续2-4个月的全职时间与领导国家公认的心、肺、血液或睡眠障碍研究计划的杰出研究人员一起寻求指导研究经验。我们的目标是为学生提供一个比传统医学院课程所能完成的更深入的研究领域的机会，并帮助学生通过结构良好、有指导的研究经验来认识到生物医学研究中的机会，为未来参与研究奠定基础。该项目是凯斯医学与健康学院新课程研究和奖学金的基石的一部分。研究经验从基础分子、细胞和器官病理生物学到心、肺、血液和睡眠生物学和疾病的翻译研究、临床研究和基于人群的研究。受训者是根据申请书挑选出来的，这些申请书经过竞争性审查，以衡量其研究提案的质量和获得积极研究经验的潜力。所有被选中的学生都将是良好的，并将至少完成一年。这些学生将成为教师导师研究计划中不可或缺的一部分，与实验室和研究社区的其他成员互动，并参加实验室会议、期刊俱乐部和相关研讨会。此外，凯斯商学院教职员工之间的互动环境将有助于确保学生与其他主要培训人员进行互动。代表人数不足的少数族裔是专门招募加入这一计划的。我们的评估系统使我们能够不断改进我们的培训计划，我们的数据库跟踪这些学员的职业生涯。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Our program offers short-term research training to selected medical school students to provide them with career opportunities in cardiovascular, pulmonary, hematologic, and sleep research and to expose them to the excitement, challenges and rewards of a career in biomedical research. This program provides research training to 30 talented medical students per year who will spend 2-4 consecutive full-time months pursuing mentored research experiences with outstanding investigators who lead nationally recognized research programs in heart, lung, blood or sleep disorders. Our objective is to provide students with an opportunity to pursue an area of research in greater depth than can be accomplished within the traditional medical school curriculum and to help students become aware of the opportunities in biomedical research through well structured, mentored research experiences that lay the foundation for future involvement in research. This program is part of the new curriculum's cornerstone in research and scholarship at Case School of Medicine and Health. The research experiences range from fundamental molecular, cellular, and organ pathobiology to translational studies, clinical research, and population-based research in heart, lung, blood and sleep biology and disorders. Trainees are selected based on applications that are competitively reviewed for the quality of their research proposal and the potential for a positive research experience. All selected students will be in good standing and will have completed at least one year. The students will become an integral part of the faculty advisor's research program, interact with the other members of the laboratory and research community, and attend laboratory meetings, journal clubs, and relevant seminars. In addition, the interactive environment amongst the faculty at Case will help to assure that students will interact with other key trainers. Underrepresented minorities are specifically recruited to join this program. Our evaluation system allows us to continuously improve our training program and our database tracks the careers of these trainees.
