Postdoctoral Training in Medical Genetics

我们建议博士后计划提供医学遗传学方面的研究培训。首要目标是 该计划的一部分是对医生进行医学遗传学研究的培训，使他们能够成为 独立的研究人员，以及人类遗传病的学术和科学领袖。一种特殊的和 该计划的独特优势是将医学遗传学的临床和研究活动整合在 加州大学旧金山分校，导致研究实习生与临床遗传学实习生和教职员工的互动。 从而为研究实习生提供了尽可能广泛的背景，以便制定和 发展未来的研究问题。培训计划的主要组成部分(z 80%)是实施 在计划学院调查员的监督下，明确定义的实质性研究项目。 培训学院包括来自临床和基础科学系的多个 加州大学旧金山分校的学校。培训人员的研究活动确实是多样化的，包括基础、临床、 临床实验室和流行病学研究，几乎涵盖了当代所有人类遗传学和 基因组学。该培训项目的教员在博士后和博士后方面都有很好的成绩 遗传学方面的培训，令人印象深刻的实验室设施，以及为他们的研究提供的大量资金。这个教职员工可以 因此，提供空间、实验室资源和规划环境，使 本计划博士后学员的科研培训。培训的其他组成部分 课程包括参加预定的研究和医学遗传学会议；研究生水平 研究方法论、基础遗传学和高级人类遗传学的课程； 临床和临床实验室遗传学教学。绝大多数申请者和参赛者都是 对医学遗传学研究感兴趣的医生(医学博士或医学博士)。该计划也一直在 能够适应对研究、教学和临床实验室职业感兴趣的科学家(博士) 医学遗传学。该计划在加州大学旧金山分校由一名计划主任和执行委员会监督，并 一个咨询小组，定期评估和监测受训人员的进展情况。最后，该计划将 从最近学术存在的广泛扩展和加强中受益不可估量 加州大学旧金山分校的人类遗传学，特别是人类遗传学研究所的建立。

We propose a postdoctoral Program to provide research training in medical genetics. The primary objective of the program is the training of physicians in research in medical genetics, to enable them to become independent investigators, and academic and scientific leaders in human genetic disease. A special and unique strength of the Program is the integration of clinical and research activities in medical genetics at UCSF, resulting in the interactions of research trainees with trainees and faculty in clinical genetics. Research trainees are thereby provided with the broadest possible background upon which to formulate and develop future research problems. The major component (z 80%) of the Training Program is the conduct of a clearly defined and substantive research project under the supervision of a Program Faculty investigator. The Training Faculty includes investigators from both clinical and basic science departments in multiple schools at UCSF. The research activities of the Training faculty are truly diverse, and include basic, clinical, clinical laboratory, and epidemiologic research spanning virtually all of contemporary human genetics and genomics. Faculty members of this Training Program have an excellent record in pre-and postdoctoral training in genetics, impressive laboratory facilities, and extensive funding for their research. This faculty can therefore provide the space, laboratory resources, and programmatic environments for the successful research training of postdoctoral trainees under this Program. Additional components of the Training Program include attendance at scheduled research and medical genetics conferences; graduate level courses in research methodology, and in basic genetics and advanced human genetics; and targeted instruction in clinical and clinical laboratory genetics. The vast majority of applicants and entrants are physicians (MD or MD-PhD) interested in research careers in medical genetics. The Program has also been able to accommodate scientists (PhD) interested in research, teaching, and clinical laboratory careers in medical genetics. The Program is overseen at UCSF by a Program Director, and Executive Committee and an Advisory Group, who regularly evaluate and monitor the progress of trainees. Finally, the Program will immeasurably benefit from the recent broad expansion and enhancement of the academic presence of human genetics at UCSF, especially the establishment of the Institute for Human Genetics.
