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)：这份建议书描述了贝勒医学院将创建的一个独特的多学科医生-科学家培训计划。这将是一个全校范围的计划，对所有临床和基础科学系开放。这代表着贝勒为扭转全国医生数量下降的趋势而做出的努力，这些医生进入以学术研究为导向的职业生涯。在过去的四分之一个世纪里，詹姆斯·B·温加登(James B.Wyngaarden)首先注意到，寻求生物医学研究途径的内科科学家的数量不断减少，随后，生物医学的其他领导人多次注意到这一点，最近，国会议员也注意到了这一点。我们贝勒已经建立了一个试点计划，以支持来自任何临床科室的医生在NIH资助的基础科学实验室接受严格的研究培训。我们正在为被命名为分子医学学者医生-科学家培训计划的计划寻求支持，受训人员将被称为分子医学学者。这是一个多学科计划，向贝勒所有临床科室的医生实习生开放，他们将与从9个科室挑选的导师一起培训。该计划涵盖了NHLBI任务范围内的以疾病为导向的基础研究领域。这一激动人心的计划代表着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担费用，两者都有培养下一代分子内科医生-科学家的共同目标。我们希望该计划将在扭转全国越来越多训练有素的医生离开以学术研究为导向的生物医学职业的趋势方面发挥重要作用。
