Precision Medicine for All

项目摘要 北海岸精准医学会议是在俄亥俄州克利夫兰举行的年度会议系列。的 会议系列旨在作为一个继续教育和交流科学思想的场所， 到快速发展和高度跨学科的景观，这是精准医学研究。的议题 每次会议都将与国家会议和研究议程相一致， 专注于精准医疗的研究项目。会议系列的形式将根据 今年选择的主题与以前的与会者的投入。大多数会议将作为传统的 邀请来自这些专题的国家专家发言。其他会议作为其中的一部分 系列将包括特邀演讲者以及由特邀研讨会负责人领导的实践研讨会， 解决过去和未来提出的适用于精准医学研究的具体培训需求 与会者。我们这次会议系列的第二个主要目标是促进多样性， 生物医学劳动力。众所周知，生物医学领域的妇女从培训到正教授的过程 研究工作漏洞百出，而为代表性不足的少数群体提供的援助渠道实际上根本不存在。借鉴 国家和地方的来源，我们将考虑妇女和代表不足的少数民族的每一个受邀发言人 机会提供宝贵的职业货币和网络机会。我们也会鼓励女性 和代表性不足的少数民族，特别是在本科生和实习生一级，参加和参与 在这个会议系列，以激发兴趣，追求精准医学研究作为一种职业。总体而言，北方 海岸精准医学会议将是国家会议格局的宝贵补充， 其独特的位置和低成本的参与者，将作为一个重要的教育机会， 未来五年，精准医疗研究将加速发展。

PROJECT SUMMARY The North Coast Conference on Precision Medicine is a yearly conference series held in Cleveland, Ohio. The conference series aims to serve as a venue for the continuing education and exchange of scientific ideas related to the rapidly evolving and highly interdisciplinary landscape that is precision medicine research. The topics for each conference will continually coincide with the national conversation and research agenda set by national research programs focused on precision medicine. The format of the conference series will differ depending on the year’s chosen topics with input from previous attendees. Most conferences will be organized as a traditional format with invited speakers from among national experts for those topics. Other conferences as part of this series will include both invited speakers as well as hands-on workshops led by invited workshop leaders to address specific training needs applicable to precision medicine research voiced by previous and future conference attendees. Our second major objective of this conference series is the promotion of diversity in the biomedical workforce. It is well-known that the pipeline from training to full professor for women in biomedical research is leaky whereas the pipeline for under-represented minorities is practically non-existent. Drawing from national and local sources, we will consider women and under-represented minorities for every invited speaker opportunity providing valuable career currency and networking opportunities. We will also encourage women and under-represented minorities, particularly at the undergraduate and trainee level, to attend and participate in this conference series to spur interest in pursuing precision medicine research as a career. Overall, the North Coast Conference on Precision Medicine will be a valuable addition to the national conference landscape, and with its unique location and low cost to participants, will serve as an important educational opportunity as precision medicine research accelerates in earnest over the next five years.
