Baylor Research Education Program in Neurosurgery

 描述（由申请人提供）： 贝勒神经外科研究教育计划摘要贝勒神经外科住院医师已经存在了五十多年，长期以来一直是全国最大和最受尊敬的神经外科培训计划之一。该计划一直有很强的学术传统，毕业生在许多领先的医学院担任教师。从2006年开始，该计划进行了重组，以大大提高其培养下一代学术神经外科医生的能力。除了发展一种强调循证实践，临床和基础研究以及神经外科实践基础神经科学教学培训的文化外，该计划还扩展了整整一年，以便为居民提供更深入，更有意义的学术经验。贝勒神经外科住院医师的受训人员有潜力发展成为能够有效地将联合收割机临床神经外科实践与推进该领域的研究相结合的院士。贝勒神经外科研究教育计划将选择具有背景，人才和动机的优秀神经外科住院医师，成为成功的医生科学家，然后将额外的专业研究教育精心整合到他们的住院医师培训中。该计划将通过整个研究过程指导这些居民，从项目概念到实验设计，数据分析和解释，到结果的出版，最后到制定有效的计划，开始作为一名医生科学家的职业生涯。该计划的特点将是在第四年的居住期间，为期12个月的研究块，在此期间，学员将在近全职的基础上从事指导研究项目。这种实践方法是让年轻的临床科学家为富有成效的研究生涯做好准备的最有效方法，允许他们独立进行研究，但有足够的支持来避免年轻研究人员所经历的常见陷阱。为了最大限度地提高研究生产力，居民也将有一个为期四个月的兼职研究块在前一年计划一个项目，并写一个研究建议与指导下，从一个有经验的科学导师，以及额外的四个月兼职研究块在一年中，遵循专门的研究年，以总结他们的项目，完成剩余的数据分析，并写了手稿出版。除了开展研究项目外，入选研究教育计划的居民还将接受实验设计，科学写作，口头陈述和负责任的研究行为的培训。此外，他们将从一个专家导师团队获得相当多的监督和职业咨询，旨在为成功获得指导职业发展奖并成为一名富有成效的医生科学家铺平道路。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Baylor Research Education Program in Neurosurgery Abstract The Baylor Neurosurgery Residency has been in place for over fifty years, and has long been one of the nation's largest and most well respected neurosurgical training programs. The program has always had a strong academic tradition, and graduates have served as faculty at many leading medical schools. Beginning in 2006, the program was retooled to substantially enhance its ability to train the next generation of academic neurosurgeons. In addition to developing a culture that emphasizes evidence-based practice, clinical and basic research, and didactic training in basic neuroscience underlying neurosurgical practice, the program was expanded by a full year in order to provide residents with a deeper and more meaningful academic experience. Subsets of trainees in the Baylor Neurosurgery Residency have the potential to develop into academicians who can effectively combine clinical neurosurgery practice with research that advances the field. The Baylor Research Education Program in Neurosurgery will select outstanding individual neurosurgery residents who have the background, talent, and motivation to become successful physician-scientists, and then carefully integrate additional specialized research education into their residency training. The program will mentor these residents through the entire research process, from project conception to experimental design, data analysis and interpretation, to publication of results, and finally to th development of an effective plan for beginning a career as a physician-scientist. The hallmark of this program will be a twelve-month research block during the fourth year of the residency, during which the trainee will engage in a mentored research project on a near full time basis. This hands-on approach is the most effective way to prepare young clinician scientists for a productive research career by allowing them to conduct research independently, but with enough support to avoid the common pitfalls experienced by young researchers. To maximize research productivity, residents will also have a four-month part time research block in the preceding year to plan a project and write a research proposal with guidance from an experienced scientific mentor, as well as an additional four-month part time research block during the year that follows the dedicated research year in order to wrap up their projects, complete remaining data analysis, and write up manuscripts for publication. In addition to carrying out a research project, residents selected for the research education program will be trained in experimental design, scientific writing, oral presentation, and in the responsible conduct of research. Furthermore, they will receive considerable oversight and career counseling from a team of experts mentors with the intent of paving their way to success in obtaining a mentored career development award and becoming a productive physician-scientist.
