Training Program in Anesthesiology Research

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请旨在开始资助华盛顿大学的一个医生科学家培训项目，并选择博士学位。科学家从事麻醉学相关研究。通过全面的围手术期护理模式，麻醉学对整体患者护理和结局的影响越来越大。然而，可能改善围手术期患者结局的研究受到训练有素的科学家和医生致力于麻醉学研究的数量的限制。本申请旨在通过在华盛顿大学（拥有美国最大的麻醉学研究项目之一）建立麻醉学研究的正式培训计划，增加训练有素的麻醉学研究人员的数量。培训计划将由项目总监（PD）和执行咨询委员会（EAC）管理。最大的合格申请人的培训计划将来自新成立的华盛顿大学麻醉住院医师特别研究跟踪计划，充满了高素质和积极的医生科学家希望培训的职业生涯在学术 麻醉学该计划每年招收两名学员，每名学员的培训期约为两年。学员将被PD和EAC通过正式的申请程序，其中包括书面研究建议和PD面试选择的程序。将制定一项征聘任职人数不足的少数民族和残疾人的正式计划。被认为对麻醉学相关研究的职业生涯有最大承诺，并具有最大潜力推动麻醉学科学和/或实践的受训者将被选中。计划教师已根据其科学的质量和相关性以及已证明的导师经验被精心挑选为学员的导师。一些初级教员也被列入该计划，因为他们的研究与麻醉学的高度相关性和重要性;与初级教员一起工作的学员也将由选定的高级教员指导。学员将被配对 与研究导师一起，在进入住院医师或奖学金时，由学术顾问为潜在的受训者提供建议。PD和EAC将对受训者-导师配对进行审查，以获得批准。所有受训人员将被要求参加华盛顿大学临床研究培训中心提供的科学写作、语法、研究中的伦理和法律的问题三门课程。具有临床/转化研究兴趣的学员将参加统计学，临床研究设计和流行病学的额外课程。学员将由他们的研究导师，学术顾问，PD和EAC每年正式评估两次。在这些评估的重点将放在实现里程碑，如手稿和赠款的提交和对一个独立的研究计划的发展进展。同样，PD和EAC将根据受训人员一年两次的书面和口头评估，每年对培训计划进行两次评估。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application seeks to begin funding of a training program at Washington University for physician scientists and select Ph.D. scientists for a career in anesthesiology-related research. Anesthesiology has an increasing impact on overall patient care and outcomes through a comprehensive perioperative care model. However, research that might improve perioperative patient outcomes is limited by the number of well-trained scientists and physicians devoted to a career in anesthesiology research. This application seeks to increase the number of well-trained anesthesiology researchers by instituting a formal training program in anesthesiology research at Washington University, which has one of the largest anesthesiology research programs in the US. The training program will be administered by a program director (PD) and an executive advisory committee (EAC). The largest pool of qualified applicants for the training program will come from newly established Washington University Anesthesiology residency special research track programs that are filled with highly qualified and motivated physician scientists desiring training for a career in academic anesthesiology. Two trainees per year will be enrolled in the program with a training period of approximately two years for each trainee. Trainees will be selected for the program by the PD and EAC through a formal application process that includes a written research proposal and an interview with the PD. A formal plan for recruitment of underrepresented minorities and the disabled will be in place. Trainees judged to have the greatest commitment to a career in anesthesiology-related research and to have the greatest potential to advance the science and/or practice of anesthesiology will be selected. Program faculty have been carefully chosen as mentors for the trainees based on the quality and relevance of their science and demonstrated mentorship experience. A few junior faculty were also included in the program because of the high relevance and importance of their research to anesthesiology; trainees working with junior faculty will also be mentored by select senior faculty. Trainees will be paired with research mentors with the advice of an academic advisor assigned to a potential trainee upon entering residency or fellowship. Trainee-mentor pairing will be reviewed by the PD and EAC for approval. All trainees will be required to take three courses in scientific writing, grantsmanship, and ethical and legal issues in research that are offered by the Washington University Clinical Research Training Center. Trainees having clinical/translational research interests will take additional courses in statistics, clinical research study design, and epidemiology. Trainees will be formally evaluated twice annually by their research mentor, academic advisor, the PD, and the EAC. Emphasis during these evaluations will be placed on attaining milestones such as manuscript and grant submissions and on progress towards development of an independent research program. Likewise, the training program will be evaluated twice annually by the PD and EAC with input from biannual written and oral evaluations by the trainees.
