Musculoskeletal Research Training

描述（由申请人提供）：肌肉骨骼培训计划代表了特殊外科医院（HSS）在基础和应用研究方面培训临床医生和科学家的持续承诺。目标是为积极性高的学员提供在学术骨科和相关领域取得成功所需的基本科学教育和研究技能。该计划的优势是教师的专业知识，他们涵盖了肌肉骨骼研究中广泛的学科基础，并为学员提供有趣的研究项目主题。该计划是基础研究和临床骨科之间的接口，重点是跨学科的方法，以临床相关的研究问题。该学院包括治疗患者和进行研究的临床科学家以及通过转化研究为患者护理做出贡献的科学家。其结果是一个多样化的计划，提供适当的角色模型和直接临床应用的研究机会。 该计划是专为一个博士前和两个博士后学员。实习生的选择是基于以前的学术和研究表现，推荐信，和面试。选择标准包括对研究的高度动机和对学术事业的承诺。培训在HSS进行，但学员受益于与威尔康奈尔医学院，康奈尔大学的机械和生物医学工程部门，以及CCNY生物医学工程中心的密切合作。HSS研究部有50名科学家，由联邦和非联邦基金和NIH赞助的肌肉骨骼修复和再生核心中心支持。该部门位于一座最近翻新的七层楼高的建筑内，设有实验室和办公空间，研究范围从软骨生物学到生物力学和临床骨科。核心设施包括肌肉骨骼成像，分析显微镜，机械和材料评估，动物护理，生物统计学和流式细胞术。HSS及其附属机构的这些和所有其他临床和研究设施可供骨科社区的学员和临床专科使用。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Musculoskeletal Training Program represents the continued commitment of the Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) to train clinicians and scientists in basic and applied research. The goal is to provide highly motivated trainees with the basic science education and research skills necessary for a successful career in academic orthopaedics and related fields. The program's strength is the expertise of the faculty, who cover a broad base of disciplines within musculoskeletal research and who provide trainees with interesting topics for research projects. The program is an interface between basic research and clinical orthopaedics with emphasis on interdisciplinary approaches to clinically relevant research problems. The faculty includes clinician scientists who treat patients and conduct research and scientists who contribute to patient care through translational research. The result is a diverse program providing appropriate role models and research opportunities with direct clinical application. The program is designed for one predoctoral and two postdoctoral trainees. Trainee selection is based on prior academic and research performance, recommendation letters, and an interview. Selection criteria include high motivation for research and commitment to an academic career. Training is conducted at HSS, though trainees benefit from the close collaboration with Weill Cornell Medical College, Cornell's Mechanical and Biomedical Engineering Departments, and the CCNY Center for Biomedical Engineering. The HSS Research Division has fifty scientists supported by federal and non-federal funds and an NIH-sponsored Core Center for Musculoskeletal Repair and Regeneration. The Division is housed in a recently renovated seven-story building with laboratories and office space for research spanning from cartilage biology to biomechanics and clinical orthopedics. Core facilities include musculoskeletal imaging, analytical microscopy, mechanical and material assessment, animal care, biostatistics, and flow cytometry. These and all other clinical and research facilities at HSS and its affiliated institutions are available to the trainees and clinical specialties in the orthopedic community.
