Boston University Medical Center Leadership Program in Vascular Medicine

描述(由申请人提供)： 不断发展的血管医学学科包括对一组不同但普遍存在的疾病的评估和管理，其中许多疾病意味着严重的后果。我们赞同这样的原则，即美国没有足够训练有素的专家来满足这一重要领域日益增长的需求。为了促进未来血管医学专家的成长，我们赞赏这一倡议，即培训进行临床血管相关研究的新个人，从而成为下一代学术领袖。波士顿大学血管医学领导力课程将特别适合培养从事血管医学学术生涯的医生的目标。全面的临床课程充分利用了多学科方法的优势(包括旋转、血管实验室暴露和教学)，旨在确保学员获得护理血管疾病谱所需的知识和临床经验。临床方案分为两个部分；一个是为普通血管医学培训设计的，另一个是为血管内专家量身定做的。研究部分将确保这些临床医生发展进行独立临床调查的技能和能力。研究培训的个别内容包括研讨会和会议的教学计划，完成波士顿大学公共卫生学院的硕士学位计划，以及一个受监督的研究项目。这项有指导的研究项目将在血管相关领域的资深和经验丰富的研究人员的指导下进行。我们相信，波士顿大学医学中心是一个极好和丰富的环境，可以利用该领域许多知名的研究人员和项目的优势，培训未来的血管医学临床科学家。我们利用我们共享的设施和资源，整合了这一方法。我们的计划旨在促进对研究过程的所有步骤的洞察，从研究设计和资助到分析和发表。在完成项目后，我们期望学员在血管疾病护理的临床方面表现出专业知识，并能够很好地进行独立资助的血管调查，这两个属性被认为是该项目成功的关键。(摘要结束)

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The evolving discipline of vascular medicine encompasses the evaluation and management of a diverse, yet prevalent, group of disorders, many of which denote a serious outcome. We endorse the principle that there are insufficient trained specialists in the United States to meet the growing demands of this important field.To foster the growth of future Vascular Medicine Specialists, we appreciate this initiative to train new individuals in the conduct of clinical vascular-related research and thus serve as the next generation of academic leaders. The Boston University Leadership Program in Vascular Medicine will be particularly well suited to the goal of training physicians to pursue an academic career in vascular medicine. The well rounded clinical curriculum utilizes the strengths of a multi-disciplinary approach (including rotations, vascular lab exposures, and didactics), designed to assure that trainees acquire the knowledge and clinical experience required to care for the spectrum of vascular disorders. The clinical program is sub-divided into two tracts; one designed for general vascular medicine training, and the other tailored towards the endovascular specialist. The research component will ensure that these clinicians develop the skills and competence to conduct independent clinical investigations. Individual elements of the research training include a didactic program of seminars and conferences, completion of a Masters Degree Program at the Boston University School of Public Health, and a supervised research project. This mentored research project will be conducted under the guidance of a senior and highly experienced researcher in a vascular related field. We believe that Boston University Medical Center serves as an excellent and rich environment to allow the training of future clinical scientists in vascular medicine, drawing on the strengths of many established and prominent investigators and programs in the field. We have integrated this approach, making use of our shared facilities and resources. We intend our program to promote insight into all steps of the research process, ranging from study design and funding to analysis and publication. Upon completion of the program we expect the trainee to demonstrate expertise in the clinical aspects of vascular disease care, and be well positioned to conduct independently funded vascular investigations, both attributes considered essential to the success of this program.
