The overall objective of this program is to extend the pipeline for training in aging research to predoctoral professional students. This T35 will utilize the capabilities of faculty mentors in our existing T32 training programs for postdoctoral and graduate students. Predoctoral professional students from UMB's schools of medicine, dentistry, pharmacy and nursing and the physical therapy doctorate program and nearby professional schools will conduct research in multiple areas of aging research that include areas of clinical, epidemiological, basic-biomedical, mental health, legal-ethical, health services and population-based research in aging. The unique specific aims of this training program are to: 1) bring together a critical mass of predoctoral professional students; 2) provide research training and engender an interest in academic careers in aging research; 3) recruit underrepresented minority students from UMB and nearby historically black medical schools to aging research; 4) ensure that women are encouraged to participate by engaging AMWA and other women's professional organizations; 5) encourage professional students to enter one of several joint masters/doctoral programs at UMB; and 6) to engage all health professional students during the academic year via the Geriatrics Interest Group to provide ongoing programs in translational research related to aging. Students will conduct clinical, epidemiological, basic-biomedical, mental health, legal-ethical, health services and population-based research in aging. These areas involve: 1) exercise rehabilitation research in functionally limited older patients; 2) research in hip fracture recovery; 3) prevention of coronary artery disease through exercise, nutrition and behavior modification in high risk older veterans and the tertiary rehabilitation of older veterans with stroke; and 4) epidemiologic research in residential, long-term care and assisted-living. This predoctoral, professional student program will occur over the summer months (June-Aug) with an expected 20 students each summer, most of whom who have already gained some research experience elsewhere. A minimum 'B' in all course work will be required.

该计划的总体目标是将老龄化研究培训的管道扩展到博士前专业学生。这个T35将利用我们现有的T32博士后和研究生培训计划中的教师导师的能力。来自医学，牙科，药学和护理学院以及物理治疗博士课程和附近专业学校的博士前专业学生将在老龄化研究的多个领域进行研究，包括临床，流行病学，基础生物医学，心理健康，法律伦理，卫生服务和以人口为基础的老龄化研究领域。该培训计划的独特的具体目标是：1）汇集博士前专业学生的临界质量; 2）提供研究培训，并在老龄化研究的学术生涯中产生兴趣; 3）从UMB和附近的历史黑人医学院招募代表性不足的少数民族学生进行老龄化研究; 4）确保鼓励妇女参与AMWA和其他妇女专业组织; 5）鼓励专业学生进入UMB的几个联合硕士/博士课程之一;和6）通过老年医学兴趣小组在学年期间吸引所有卫生专业学生参与，以提供与老龄化相关的转化研究的持续计划。学生将进行临床，流行病学，基础生物医学，心理健康，法律伦理，卫生服务和以人口为基础的老龄化研究。这些领域包括：1）功能受限老年患者的运动康复研究; 2）髋部骨折恢复研究; 3）通过运动、营养和行为矫正预防高风险老年退伍军人的冠状动脉疾病，以及中风老年退伍军人的三级康复; 4）住院、长期护理和辅助生活的流行病学研究。这个博士前的专业学生课程将在夏季（6月至8月）进行，预计每年夏季有20名学生，其中大多数人已经在其他地方获得了一些研究经验。所有课程作业至少要有“B”。
