Research Training in Otolaryngology

我们建议继续我们为医学生和住院医生提供的基础研究培训计划 北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校与耳鼻喉科相关的科学--头颈外科。 培训教师包括耳鼻喉科-头颈外科的12名成员 在北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校以及从其他系挑选出来的教员 研究与耳鼻喉科/头颈外科交叉。这些教员中有8人学习听觉 神经生物学和知觉；三个教职人员从事粘膜上皮或肿瘤学研究。其他培训教员的工作 毛细胞肌球蛋白、癌症机制和癌症流行病学。对培训计划的监督是 由一个咨询委员会提供，该委员会由系主任和三名外部教员组成 在互补领域。培训计划由两条赛道组成。第一个轨道是为医科学生开设的 对耳鼻咽喉头颈外科感兴趣，提供短期(夏季)或一年制 在系里的任何一个实验室里都有研究机会。第二条轨道是为 耳鼻喉科项目。每个新生班级中的一名居民将获得连续两年的研究 在部门的研究实验室接受培训，为成为学术耳鼻喉科医生做准备 和研究人员。 所有级别的培训计划都旨在提供受训者之间的交叉受精 耳鼻喉科和基础科学家。培训的教学要素，包括课程作业、培训 研究道德和资质是为了确保培养出杰出的研究人员。这个 长期目标是培养耳鼻咽喉头颈外科领域的学术临床医生 杰出的研究资历。

We propose to continue our program of research training for medical students and residents in the basic sciences related to Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The training faculty includes twelve members of the Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill as well as selected faculty from other departments whose research intersects with Otolaryngology/Head and Neck Surgery. Eight of these faculty study auditory neurobiology and perception; three faculty work in mucosal epithelia or oncology. Other training faculty work on hair cell myosins, cancer mechanisms, and cancer epidemiology. Oversight of the training program is provided by an advisory committee consisting of the Department Chair, and three external faculty members in complementary areas. The training program consists of two tracks. The first track is for medical students interested in Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery and offers either a short-term (summer) or a 1-year research opportunity in any of the laboratories in the Department. The second track is for residents in the Otolaryngology program. One resident in each incoming class will receive 2 contiguous years of research training in the Department's research laboratories, in preparation for careers as academic Otolaryngologists and researchers. All levels of the training program are designed to provide cross-fertilization between trainees in Otolaryngology and basic scientists. Didactic elements of the training, including coursework, training in research ethics, and grantsmanship, are designed to ensure the production of outstanding researchers. The long-term goal is to produce academic clinicians in the field of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery with exceptional research credentials.
