UCLA/RAND HEALTH SERVICES RESEARCH TRAINING PROGRAM

描述(由申请人提供)：加州大学洛杉矶分校/兰德卫生服务研究培训计划的总体目标是培养新一代研究人员，他们将成为评估卫生保健的成本、收益、结果和资金的专家。医学疗法往往达不到预期的效果。一些短缺可能是由于没有按照指导方针进行医疗治疗，以及患者没有按照预期使用治疗。与患者、提供者、卫生系统或环境有关的其他因素也可能阻碍现代护理的潜力。加州大学洛杉矶分校/兰德分校的计划旨在培训研究人员，他们将探索新疗法对成本、成本效益、可获得性、护理质量和健康的影响。 由此产生的研究可能会影响科学家在他们的翻译工作中强调的地区和人口的决定。加州大学洛杉矶分校/兰德大学卫生服务培训计划的目标是：1.在卫生服务和结果研究方面培训博士后水平的医生和科学家。2.培养卫生服务研究方面的博士后社会科学家和医生。 3.让加州大学洛杉矶分校的教职员工参与这些培训活动。该项目每年将招收五名新学员。第一年，我们将接受三名博士后和两名博士后研究员。每连续一年，博士后和博士后实习生数量将颠倒。拟议的博士前培训计划将包括密集的研究经验，以及适当的教学课程和研讨会。其目标是为博士后和博士后学员提供对卫生服务研究基础知识的理解，以及评估创新所需的必备技能。所有受训人员都将接受研究道德行为方面的培训。对于博士后研究员，该计划将根据受训人员的背景进行定制。每名学员将定期参加研讨会，并接受必要的培训，以提高他们的技术研究技能。博士后实习生将从事有指导的研究，目标是在项目结束前发展独立性。该计划将以能力为基础。将对入职研究员进行评估，以确定他们与哪些能力一起进入，以及哪些能力需要在计划期间获得。该计划的毕业生将被跟踪，以评估职业成就和研究生产率方面的结果

DESCRIPTION (provided by the applicant): The overall goal of the UCLA/ RAND Health Services research-training program is to train a new generation of investigators who will be expert in the evaluation of the costs, benefits, outcomes and financing of health care. Medical therapies often do not achieve their intended outcomes. Some of the shortfall may result from medical therapies not being administered according to guidelines and to patients not using treatments as intended. Other factors relating to the patient, the provider, the health system or the environment may also hinder the potential of modern care. The UCLA/RAND program is designed to train investigations who will explore the implications of new therapies for cost, cost-effectiveness, access, quality of care and health. The resulting research may affect the decisions that scientists make on areas and populations to emphasize in their translational work. The goals of the UCLA/RAND Health Services Training Program will be to: 1. Train predoctoral PhD level physicians and scientists in health services and outcomes research. 2. Train postdoctoral social scientists and physicians in health services research. 3. Engage faculty across the UCLA environment in these training activities. The program will accept five new trainees each year. The first year we will accept three predoctoral and two post doctoral fellows. Each consecutive year, the number of pre and postdoctoral trainees will be reversed. The proposed predoctoral training program will consist of a research intensive experience coupled with appropriate didactic coursework and seminars. The goal is to provide pre and post-doctoral trainees with an understanding of both the basics of health services research and with the prerequisite skills required to evaluate innovations. All trainees will receive training in the ethical conduct of research. For post-doctoral fellows, the program will be customized to the background of the trainees. Each trainee will engage in regular seminars and will receive necessary training to enhance their technical research skills. The postdoctoral trainees will engage in mentored research with the goal of developing independence by the end of the program. The program will be competency based. Entering fellows will be evaluated to determine which competencies they enter with and which competencies need to be acquired during the program. Graduates of the program will be tracked to evaluate outcomes in terms of career accomplishments and research productivity
