 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The MD/PhD Training Program at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) offers integrated medical and scientific training. Graduate programs include Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Physiology and Pharmacology, Genetics, Cell and Developmental Biology, Molecular Microbiology and Immunology, Cancer Biology, Neuroscience, Behavioral Neuroscience, Biomedical Engineering and Biomedical Informatics. In addition, with the opening of our new School of Public Health offering PhDs in 1) Epidemiology, 2) Community Health, and 3) Health Systems and Policy. Substantial differences in curricula for both the MD and PhD programs (compared with those for straight MD or PhD students) are in place, and include elimination of several required classes and one clerkship in the MD curriculum, and elimination of the requirement for three research rotations for the graduate programs. In addition to several graduate school courses that our MD/PhD students are excused from, a system is in place to allow our students to "challenge" any required graduate school course by achieving a satisfactory score on the final exam. To tailor the graduate curriculum appropriately for the individual, a Scientific Oversight Committee of three faculty is assigned to each student. We have also added several courses specific to the MD/PhD program, including a required 5 - 6 week Clinical/Translational Research Clerkship (housed in our CTSA funded Oregon Clinical and Translational Research Institute) and a required Longitudinal Clinical Rotation, providing a formalized, mentored ongoing clinical experience two half days a month during the PhD years. Extensive student tracking and mentorship programs are in place. Our monthly MD/PhD Grand Rounds, presented by physician scientists on our faculty and taking the form of a case based introduction to a scientific talk, assures ongoing exposure to clinical and translational research, and the guidelines for our weekly MD/PhD Journal Club require that the article be placed firmly in a clinical context in the background presented. Our annual MD/PhD Research Retreat also features talks by OHSU scientists, many of whom have translational research projects, as well a keynote speaker of international reputation, selected for the clinical relevance as well as quality of his or her research. We foste public speaking skills, providing multiple opportunities for student presentations, with formal feedback from the Program Director. We also emphasize grant writing skills, providing multiple sources of assistance in crafting and submitting individual NRSA and similar grants from professional societies, with a very high rate of success in achieving funding. Our new medical school curriculum provides added flexibility with respect to the timing of reentry into the MD program, and should avoid students taking more than 7 - 8 years to complete the program except in exceptional cases. With the strong support of the Dean of the School of Medicine as well as the Oregon Clinical and Translational Research Institute and the Departments and Faculty as a whole, we provide an ideal environment for training the next generation of physician scientists.

 描述（由申请人提供）：俄勒冈健康与科学大学 (OHSU) 的医学博士/博士培训计划提供综合医学和科学培训。研究生课程包括生物化学和分子生物学、生理学和药理学、遗传学、细胞和发育生物学、分子微生物学和免疫学、癌症生物学、神经科学、行为神经科学、生物医学工程和生物医学信息学。此外，随着我​​们新的公共卫生学院的开业，提供 1) 流行病学、2) 社区健康和 3) 卫生系统和政策博士学位。医学博士和博士课程的课程（与直接医学博士或博士生的课程相比）存在重大差异，包括取消了医学博士课程中的几门必修课程和一项见习职位，以及取消了研究生课程三轮研究轮换的要求。除了我们的医学博士/博士生可以免修的几门研究生院课程外，我们还建立了一个系统，允许我们的学生通过在期末考试中取得满意的成绩来“挑战”任何研究生院必修课程。为了适合个人定制研究生课程，每个学生都被分配了一个由三名教师组成的科学监督委员会。我们还增加了几门专门针对医学博士/博士项目的课程，包括所需的 5 - 6 周临床/转化研究见习（位于我们 CTSA 资助的俄勒冈州临床和转化研究所）和所需的纵向临床轮转，在博士期间每月提供两个半天的正式、有指导的持续临床经验。广泛的学生跟踪和指导计划已经到位。我们每月的医学博士/博士大查房由我们教职人员的医师科学家主持，并采取基于案例的科学讲座介绍的形式，确保持续接触临床和转化研究，并且我们每周的医学博士/博士期刊俱乐部的指导方针要求文章在所呈现的背景中牢牢地置于临床背景中。我们的年度医学博士/博士研究静修会还包括 OHSU 科学家的演讲，其中许多人都有转化研究项目，以及一位具有国际声誉的主讲人，他们是根据其临床相关性和研究质量而选择的。我们培养公开演讲技能，为学生提供多种演讲机会，并提供项目总监的正式反馈。我们还强调拨款写作技巧，为起草和提交个人 NRSA 以及专业协会的类似拨款提供多种来源的协助，获得资金的成功率非常高。我们的新医学院课程在重新进入医学博士课程的时间方面提供了更大的灵活性，并且应避免学生花费超过 7 - 8 年的时间来完成课程（特殊情况除外）。在医学院院长以及俄勒冈临床和转化研究所以及整个院系和教职员工的大力支持下，我们为培养下一代医学科学家提供了理想的环境。
