Research Training in Otolaryngology

描述（由申请人提供）：我们建议继续在查佩尔山的北卡罗来纳州大学为医学生和住院医生进行与耳鼻咽喉头颈外科相关的基础科学研究培训。培训教师包括查佩尔山的北卡罗来纳州大学耳鼻咽喉头颈外科系的12名成员，以及来自其他研究与耳鼻咽喉/头颈外科交叉的部门的选定教师。其中七个学院研究听觉神经生物学或感知。其他培训教师工作在癌症机制和流行病学，窦和气道功能。由系主任组成的内部咨询委员会，以及两名互补领域的外部教师提供培训计划和学员选择的监督。一个由研究培训领域的三名高级科学家组成的外部咨询委员会提供有关整个计划的指导。培训计划包括两条轨道。第一条轨道是为感兴趣的耳鼻咽喉头颈外科医学生，并提供在该部门的任何实验室的短期（夏季）或1年的研究机会。第二个轨道是在耳鼻喉科计划的居民。每个新生班的一名住院医师将在该部门的研究实验室接受连续2年的研究培训，为学术耳鼻喉科医生和研究人员的职业生涯做准备。所有级别的培训计划旨在提供耳鼻喉科学员和基础科学家之间的交叉施肥。培训的教学要素，包括课程、研究道德培训和奖学金，旨在确保培养出杰出的研究人员。长期目标是培养具有特殊研究资格的耳鼻咽喉头颈外科领域的学术临床医生。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): 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. Seven of these faculty study auditory neurobiology or perception. Other training faculty work on cancer mechanisms and epidemiology, sinus and airway function. An Internal Advisory Committee consisting of the Department Chair, and two external faculty members in complementary areas provides oversight of the training program and trainee selection. An External Advisory Committee consisting of three senior scientists in the research training areas provides guidance regarding the overall program. 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.
