Neurosurgery research training in interdisciplinary neuroscience

描述（由申请人提供）：华盛顿大学在培养神经外科住院医师从事学术医学方面有着悠久而强大的传统。该提案将通过将住院医师置于跨学科研究环境中来支持该培训的研究部分，为神经外科启发科学项目的候选人做好准备，并在未来的职业生涯中成为资助项目的跨学科研究者。未来的候选人将在正在进行的部门工作的三个核心优势之一追求主题：神经工程，神经肿瘤学和恢复医学。第一名候选人将在结构化的实验室环境中进行脑机接口研究，在基础神经科学家、神经工程师和神经外科医生之间正在进行的合作项目中，研究脑机接口中的控制和设备考虑。这12个月的经验将包括在一个成熟项目的背景下进行独立调查，以确保成功。结合由科室支持的教学项目和出色的临床经验，住院医师将准备在支持期结束时开始作为神经工程合作项目的内科科学家的职业生涯。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Washington has a long and strong tradition of training residents in neurological surgery for careers in academic medicine. This proposal will support the research component of this training by placing the resident in an interdisciplinary research environment, preparing the candidate for neurosurgical-inspired science projects and a future career as an interdisciplinary investigator in funded projects. Future candidates will pursue topics in one of three core strengths of ongoing department work ¿ Neural Engineering, Neuro Oncology, and Restorative Medicine. The first candidate will pursue research in brain-computer interface in a structured laboratory environment that studies, in ongoing collaborative projects between basic neuroscientists, neural engineers, and neurosurgeons, control and device considerations in brain-computer interface. The 12-month experience will include independent investigation in the context of a mature project to ensure success. Combined with a didactic program that is supported by the department and superior clinical experience, the resident will be prepared to begin a career as a physician-scientist in a collaborative neural engineering project at the conclusion of the support period.
