Biomedical Imaging for Clinician Scientists

描述(由申请人提供)：此申请是建立在加州大学旧金山分校放射学系的一年生物医学影像强化训练计划。该计划将向正在接受或已经完成培训的放射科住院医生开放。该培训计划的主要长期目标是培养一批学术放射科医生，他们将成为生物医学成像领域的领导者，并帮助解决目前缺乏此类临床科学研究人员的问题。更具体地说，该计划将招募候选人，他们将由临床放射科医生、基础科学家和临床医生组成的指定团队进行指导。每名学员将隶属于放射科现有的一个部门，并酌情与部门实验室的研究人员和其他部门的临床医生合作。考虑到加州大学旧金山分校跨学科合作的悠久历史，以及放射科临床和研究人员的深度和多样性，该系处于提供此类培训计划的理想位置，该系将毗邻加州大学旧金山分校占地43英亩的新生命科学任务湾校区。这些新资源将进一步提高该部门和机构吸引研究人员的能力，并延续加州大学旧金山分校开创性的尖端生物医学成像的悠久传统。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application is to establish a structured intensive one-year training program in Biomedical Imaging based in the Department of Radiology at UCSF. The program will be open to Radiology residents who are in or have completed training. The primary long-term objective of this training program is to produce a cadre of academic radiologists who will become leaders in Biomedical Imaging, and help address the current lack of such clinical scientific investigators. More specifically, the program will recruit candidates who will be mentored by a designated team of clinical radiologists, basic scientists, and clinicians. Each trainee will be affiliated with one of the existing sections within the Department of Radiology, and collaborate as appropriate with researchers from the departmental laboratories and clinicians from other departments. The Department is ideally positioned to provide such a training program, given the long history of interdisciplinary collaboration at UCSF, the depth and diversity of the clinical and research faculty within the Department of Radiology, which will be adjacent to the new 43-acre Life Sciences Mission Bay campus of UCSF. These new resources will further increase the ability of the department and institution to attract researchers and continue the long tradition of ground breaking, cutting edge Biomedical Imaging at UCSF.
