DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Rochester has a long history of training physician-scientists, with numerous alumni contributing to biomedical research and assuming leadership positions at academic medical centers. There is a continued and growing need for physician-scientists, who serve a unique role in translating research discoveries to the clinic and bringing clinical experiences to the laboratory bench. The main objective of the University of Rochester MSTP is to provide a unique and integrated environment for the rigorous and efficient training of future physician-scientists. This is accomplished by immersion in basic science and clinical exposure through all program years combined with a period of focused research leading to the PhD. Degrees are offered in a wide range of areas that take advantage of the University's highly collaborative and interdisciplinary environment, including basic biomedical sciences with emphasis on specific organ systems, Biomedical Engineering, population based degrees in Biostatistics, Epidemiology and Health Services Research, and College-based programs such as Biology and Chemistry. As described in this application, our institutional environment continues to be invigorated by growth in outstanding faculty, resources and infrastructure, resulting in significant expansion of training opportunities. Most recently, this includes development of a Clinical Translational Science Institute (CTSI), supported in part by a CTSA granted in 2006. The CTSI provides myriad opportunities that enhance the MSTP, including funded slots for the PhD years of MD-PhD training and a new PhD program in Translational Biomedical Science. The medical school continues its commitment to the MSTP, increasing the number of incoming slots from 2-3 to 8 each year and supporting new initiatives to enhance training and recruitment activities. We have been successful in filling these slots with highly motivated students who are passionate about biomedical research; the net effect is a doubling of our program size since 2001. Coupled with the University of Rochester's commitment, funds from this renewal will ensure that these individuals develop the skills and insights to initiate and lead the translation from science to human health during this dynamic era of biomedical research. RELEVANCE: There is a great societal need for physician-scientists who work at the interface of clinical patient care and scientific investigation. The MSTP at the University of Rochester equips future physician-scientists with an in depth understanding of medicine and a rigorous research experience, allowing them to pursue careers that fill important positions in academic medicine and translate research discoveries to health improvement.

描述(申请人提供)：罗切斯特大学在培养内科科学家方面有着悠久的历史，有许多校友为生物医学研究做出贡献，并在学术医学中心担任领导职位。对内科科学家的需求持续且不断增长，他们在将研究发现转化为临床并将临床经验带到实验室方面发挥着独特的作用。罗切斯特大学MSTP的主要目标是为严格和有效地培养未来的内科科学家提供一个独特的综合环境。这是通过沉浸在基础科学和临床暴露在所有计划年结合一段时间的重点研究导致博士学位。在利用大学高度协作和跨学科环境的广泛领域提供学位，包括侧重于特定器官系统的基础生物医学科学、生物医学工程、基于人口的生物统计学学位、流行病学和卫生服务研究，以及以学院为基础的课程，如生物学和化学。正如本申请中所述，我们的机构环境继续受到优秀师资、资源和基础设施增长的鼓舞，从而显著扩大了培训机会。最近，这包括发展临床转化科学研究所(CTSI)，部分得到了2006年授予的CTSA的支持。CTSI提供了无数加强MSTP的机会，包括为医学博士-博士培训提供资金的几年时间，以及一个新的转化生物医学科学博士项目。该医学院继续致力于MSTP，将每年的入学名额从2-3个增加到8个，并支持加强培训和招聘活动的新举措。我们已经成功地用对生物医学研究充满热情的高积极性学生填补了这些空缺；净效果是我们的项目规模自2001年以来翻了一番。再加上罗切斯特大学的承诺，此次续签的资金将确保这些人发展技能和洞察力，在这个充满活力的生物医学研究时代启动和领导从科学到人类健康的转变。相关性：社会对从事临床病人护理和科学研究的内科科学家有很大的需求。罗切斯特大学的MSTP为未来的内科科学家配备了对医学的深入了解和严谨的研究经验，使他们能够从事填补学术医学重要职位的职业，并将研究发现转化为健康改善。
