 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The fundamental mission of academic medicine is the acquisition and application of scientific knowledge to improve health care. In order for the medical enterprise to function effectively, it is critically important for the academic biomedical community to have physician-scientists who receive special training that integrates both a rigorous scientific education with state-of-the-art medical education. These individuals facilitate interactions between the clinic and lab that promote both basic investigation on disease mechanisms and translational research leading to clinical applications. Thus, they are positioned to be leaders in biomedical research and educational communities. The Ohio State University (OSU) Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP) was initially funded to achieve these lofty goals in 2011. In this renewal application, we describe the outstanding MD-PhD training program we have developed, which provides rigor, depth, and breadth of both scientific and medical education in a way that facilitates the integration of both sets of training to prepare these dedicated and driven students for careers as successful physician-scientists. Over the preceding grant period, the OSU MSTP has served as a partnership program linking medical school curriculum with three integrated core graduate programs during a time of tremendous curricular evolution. By working closely with medical school and graduate school leadership, we have used new approaches in both areas to develop a cutting-edge curriculum joining foundational knowledge with in-depth scientific inquiry in a wide variety of areas. Medical school coursework is completed using an MSTP-specific modification of OSU's Lead. Serve. Inspire (LSI) curriculum, a competency-based, efficient approach which eschews large lectures in favor of self-directed learning, high-yield student-faculty contact hours, and early, meaningful, patient contact. PhD courses begin in the second year of the program. The prior grant allowed students to earn their degrees in the Biomedical Sciences Graduate Program (BGSP), Neuroscience Graduate Studies Program (NGSP), or Biomedical Engineering (BME). In this proposal, we make good on our plan to expand PhD availability across the University to carefully vetted affiliate programs, leveraging our campus strength in non-traditional, but highly relevant graduate programs. Because of our curricular integration and careful oversight by MSTP Leadership, students complete their studies in a time-efficient manner, typically 8 years. Our innovative MD-PhD program has attracted interest from an outstanding pool of applicants that has doubled in size over the past 5 years concurrent with a doubling in size of our matriculating class from 5 to 10 students per year. Herein we request funds to double our NIH-supported training slots in graded fashion to match this growth. Renewal: students, developing future leaders who will enable the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center to achieve its stated mission: To improve people's lives through innovation in research, education and patient care.

 描述（由申请人提供）：学术医学的基本使命是获取和应用科学知识来改善医疗保健。为了使医疗企业有效运作，学术生物医学界拥有接受过将严格的科学教育与最先进的医学教育相结合的特殊培训的医师科学家至关重要。这些人有利于 诊所和实验室之间的互动，促进疾病机制的基础研究和临床应用的转化研究。因此，他们被定位为生物医学研究和教育界的领导者。俄亥俄州立大学 (OSU) 医学科学家培训计划 (MSTP) 最初于 2011 年获得资助，以实现这些崇高目标。在这份更新申请中，我们描述了我们开发的出色的医学博士-博士培训计划，该计划提供科学和医学教育的严谨性、深度和广度，以促进两套培训的整合，为学生做好准备。 这些敬业且有动力的学生致力于成为成功的医学科学家。在之前的资助期内，俄勒冈州立大学 MSTP 一直作为一个合作伙伴计划，在课程发生巨大变革的时期将医学院课程与三个综合核心研究生课程联系起来。通过与医学院和研究生院领导层的密切合作，我们在这两个领域采用了新方法来开发尖端课程，将基础知识与各个领域的深入科学探究结合起来。医学院课程作业是使用 OSU Lead 的 MSTP 特定修改完成的。服务。 Inspire (LSI) 课程是一种基于能力的高效方法，避免大型讲座，有利于自主学习、高产的师生接触时间以及早期、有意义、耐心的学习 接触。博士课程从课程的第二年开始。先前的资助允许学生获得生物医学科学研究生项目（BGSP）、神经科学研究生项目（NGSP）或生物医学工程（BME）学位。在这项提案中，我们兑现了我们的计划，将整个大学的博士生扩大到经过仔细审查的附属项目，利用我们校园在非传统但高度相关的研究生项目方面的优势。由于我们的课程整合和 MSTP 领导层的仔细监督，学生可以高效地完成学业，通常需要 8 年。我们创新的医学博士-博士项目吸引了众多优秀申请者的兴趣，在过去 5 年里，申请者人数增加了一倍，同时我们的入学班级规模也从每年 5 名学生增加到 10 名。在此，我们请求资金以分级方式将 NIH 支持的培训名额增加一倍，以适应这一增长。 更新：学生，培养未来的领导者，使俄亥俄州立大学韦克斯纳医学中心能够实现其既定使命：通过研究、教育和患者护理方面的创新来改善人们的生活。
