Postdoctoral Training Grant for MDs in Surgical Oncology Research

7.项目总结/摘要 考虑到以下因素，接受过外科肿瘤学研究培训的医生数量不足： 大多数实体瘤患者接受手术作为其临床治疗的一部分。改善对残疾人的照顾 这些病人符合国家癌症研究所的利益至关重要的是，更多的外科医生参与以患者为导向的 研究和其他医生接受与外科治疗相关的肿瘤学研究培训， 癌症患者。本申请的三个目标是：1）增加训练有素的外科医生的数量 进行以病人为导向的癌症研究，2）增加其他医生的数量， 与患者实体瘤管理相关的研究，以及3）增加少数民族和女性患者的数量 外科医生在外科肿瘤学的学术实践中。学员将参加三项研究之一 轨道：转化实验室科学（TLS），卫生服务和成果研究（HSO）和肿瘤学 临床试验（OCT）。这些轨道将是结构化的，将包括相关的课程，并适当 导师但是，将有灵活性，包括在其他研究领域和其他研究的培训- 这些技能将增加受训人员的教育经验。外科住院医生， 两年的临床培训将被接纳为该计划，以及其他非手术，但肿瘤相关的 MD/DO受训人员可被录取，但将不超过25%的受训人员职位。总共会有 四个实习生学员将进入一个专门的，为期两年的培训期，其中将包括一个核心 与实体瘤肿瘤学相关的研究项目，加上与他们的研究方向相匹配的课程。 重点将放在学习研究职业生存所需的技能， 学术临床实践。这些将包括研究道德，赠款写作，研究设计，数据分析， 预算、手稿写作和压力管理。通过这种方法，一群受过良好训练的年轻人 将培养外科医生和相关内科医生，他们将拥有执行高质量，道德， 以人类肿瘤学为中心的转化和临床研究。

7. Project Summary / Abstract The number of physicians trained to perform surgical oncology research is inadequate when considering that most patients with solid tumors undergo surgery as part of their clinical management. Improving the care of these patients is in the interests of the NCI. It is critical that more surgeons are involved in patient-oriented research and that other physicians be trained in oncology research related to the surgical management of cancer patients. The three objectives of this application are 1) To increase the number of well-trained surgeons who perform patient-oriented cancer research, 2) To increase the number of other physicians performing research related to solid tumor management in patients, and 3) To increase the number of minority and female surgeons in the academic practice of surgical oncology. Trainees will be enrolled in one of three research tracks: Translational Laboratory Science (TLS), Health Services and Outcomes research (HSO), and Oncology Clinical Trials (OCT). These tracks will be structured and will include associated curriculum, and appropriate mentors. However, there will be flexibility to include training in other research areas and in other research- related skills, which will augment the trainees' educational experiences. Surgical residents with a minimum of two years of clinical training will be admitted to the program, and other non-surgical, yet oncologically related MD/DO trainees may be admitted, but will fill no more than 25% of the trainee positions. There will be a total of four trainees at any given time. Trainees will enter a dedicated, two year training period that will include a core research project related to solid tumor oncology, plus coursework selected to match their research track. Strong emphasis will be placed on learning skills required for survival in research careers combined with academic clinical practice. These will include research ethics, grant writing, research design, data analysis, budgeting, manuscript writing, and stress management. By this approach, a cohort of young, well-trained surgeons and associated physicians will be developed who will have the tools to perform high quality, ethical, translational and clinical research specifically centered on human tumor oncology.
