Surgical Research Training in Gastrointestinal Diseases

描述(由申请者提供)：我们的外科研究计划将在以下两个方面之一为年轻的外科住院医生提供独特的、强化的和跨学科的培训经验：1)基础科学课程，为学员提供生物医学研究基础方面的有组织的研究经验，包括分子生物学、生理学、生物化学、内分泌学、药理学、免疫学和细胞生物学；或2)流行病学、结果和健康服务课程，提供与消化道外科疾病相关的生物统计学和流行病学的正式培训。两名实习生将被录取到第一个轨道，他们也有机会获得医学硕士学位，这将包括就他们的研究项目撰写一份提案和最终论文。一名实习生将获得临床科学硕士学位，并将熟练掌握这些技能 有必要成为比较有效和卫生服务研究领域的独立调查人员，包括基础和高级生物统计学、大数据集分析、管理数据的使用(例如，Medicare和SEER-Medicare数据库)、临床流行病学、卫生政策和卫生保健经济学。每个受训人员将投入2-3年的实验室和教育时间，不承担临床职责，以继续他们的研究。我们双轨计划的主要目标是培养外科住院医生成为独立和成功的学术外科医生，无论他们是选择外科医生-科学家还是公共卫生研究员。我们教职员工的研究兴趣都集中在胃肠道疾病的主题上，包括肝脏和胰腺，其中癌症和炎症的研究占主导地位。我们为学员提供了多样化的研究体验，鼓励他们选择第二职业导师，并参与预先存在的跨部门合作。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Our surgical research program will provide young surgical residents a unique, intensive and interdisciplinary training experience in one of two tracks for scholarly investigations in surgical diseases of the alimentary tract, liver, and pancreas: 1) the basic science track, which provides the individual trainee a structured research experience in the fundamental aspects of biomedical research, including aspects of molecular biology, physiology, biochemistry, endocrinology, pharmacology, and immunology and cell biology, or 2) the epidemiology, outcomes, and health services track, which provides formal training in biostatistics and epidemiology as they pertain to surgical diseases of the digestive tract. Two trainees will be enrolled in the first track have the opportunity also to obtain a Maste in Medical Science, which will include writing a proposal and final dissertation on their research project. One trainee will earn a Master in Clinical Science and will gain proficiency in the skills necessary to become independent investigators in the field of comparative effective and health services research including basic and advanced biostatistics, large dataset analysis, use of administrative data (e.g., Medicare and SEER-Medicare databases), clinical epidemiology, health policy, and healthcare economics. Each trainee will dedicate 2-3 years of laboratory and education time free of clinical duties to pursue their investigations. The primary goal of our two-track program is to prepare surgical residents to become independent and successful academic surgeons, whether they choose the path of surgeon-scientist or public health researcher. The research interests of our faculty members all center on the theme of gastrointestinal diseases, including the liver and pancreas, with a predominance on the study of cancer and inflammation. Our trainees are provided a diverse research experience, encouraged to select secondary career mentors and engage in pre-existing interdepartmental collaborations.
