Stanford Neurosurgery Resident Research Education Program

项目描述：斯坦福大学神经外科住院医师研究教育项目的目的是为神经外科住院医师提供基础和临床研究方面的教育，目标是培养他们成长为临床科学家。其目标是教育和培训神经外科医生在其职业生涯中能够建立和指导科学实验室。该策略是确定具有科学研究潜力的居民，并将他们安置在资深、经验丰富的研究科学家的实验室中，为期两年。他们还将接受该项目神经外科主任的广泛咨询，并参加有关研究技巧和道德研究行为的研讨会。他们的进展和整个项目的成功将被反复评估，并对项目进行适当的调整。我们希望这个项目能够培养出有能力对大脑和脊髓疾病的病因做出新发现的神经外科医生，从而产生新的、更有效的治疗方法，并且，为了实现NIH的使命，这些疾病患者的健康将得到改善。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Project Description: The purpose of this Stanford Neurosurgery Resident Research Education Program is to provide education in basic and clinical research to neurosurgery residents with the goal of fostering their growth into clinician scientists. Its goal is to educate and train neurosurgeons capable of establishing and directing a scientific laboratory throughout their careers. The strategy is to identify residents with the potential for scientific research and place them for a two year term in the laboratories of senior, highly experienced research scientists. They will also receive extensive counseling by the neurosurgical directors of the program and participate in seminars on research skills and ethical research behavior. Their progress and the success of the overall program will be repeatedly assessed and appropriate changes in the program will be made. It is hoped that this program will produce neurosurgeons capable of making new discoveries regarding the causes of diseases of the brain and spinal cord, that new, more effective treatments will result, and, in fulfillment of the mission of the NIH, that the health of persons afflicted with these diseases will be improved. Public Health Relevance: This project seeks support for the education of neurosurgical residents in research. It is hoped that this will produce neurosurgeons capable on making new discoveries regarding the causes of diseases of the brain and spinal cord and that new, more effective treatments will result.
