 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（由适用提供）：俄勒冈州健康与科学大学（OHSU）的MD/PHD培训计划提供综合的医学和科学培训。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开设了1）流行病学，2）社区卫生和3）卫生系统和政策。 MD和PHD课程的课程差异（与直接MD或PHD学生的课程相比）已经存在，包括消除MD课程中的几个必需类别和一名文员，以及消除研究生课程的三个研究轮换要求。除了从我们的医学博士/博士学位学生中获原谅的几个研究生课程外，还可以通过在期末考试中获得令人满意的成绩来“挑战”任何必需的研究生院课程。为了适当地为个人量身定制研究生课程，分配了三个教师的科学监督委员会。我们还添加了特定于MD/PHD计划的几门课程，包括所需的5-6周临床/翻译研究员工（在我们的CTSA资助的俄勒冈州临床和转化研究所中安置）以及所需的纵向临床轮换，提供正式的，在PHD年度为期一个月的正式，持续的临床经验两天。大量的学生跟踪和备考计划已经到位。我们的每月MD/PhD大回合，由物理科学家就我们的教职员工提出，并采取了基于案例的科学演讲介绍的形式，假设持续接触临床和翻译研究，以及我们每周的MD/PhD期刊俱乐部的指南要求将文章首先放置在临床环境中。我们的年度医学博士学位/博士研究务虚会还具有OHSU科学家的演讲，其中许多人翻译了研究项目，以及国际认可的主题演讲者，以临床相关性以及他或她的研究的质量选择。我们专注于公开演讲技巧，为学生演讲提供了多种机会，并提供了计划主管的正式反馈。我们还强调赠款写作技巧，在制作和提交专业社会的单个NRSA和类似赠款方面提供多种援助来源，并在获得资金方面取得了很高的成功率。我们的新医学院课程在重新进入MD计划的时间方面提供了更大的灵活性，并应避免学生花费7到8年以上的时间来完成该计划，除非在特殊情况下。在医学院院长以及俄勒冈州临床和翻译研究所以及整个部门和教职员工的大力支持下，我们为培训下一代物理科学家提供了理想的环境。
