 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（由申请人提供）：医学博士/博士培训计划在俄勒冈州健康与科学大学（OHSU）提供综合医学和科学培训。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的开设，提供1）流行病学，2）社区卫生和3）卫生系统和政策的博士学位。MD和PhD课程（与直接的MD或PhD学生相比）的课程有很大的不同，包括取消了MD课程中的几个必修课程和一个见习职位，并取消了研究生课程的三个研究轮换的要求。除了我们的MD/PhD学生可以免除的几门研究生院课程外，我们还制定了一个系统，允许我们的学生通过在期末考试中获得满意的分数来“挑战”任何研究生院必修课程。为了为个人量身定制研究生课程，我们为每个学生分配了一个由三名教师组成的科学监督委员会。我们还增加了几门专门针对MD/PhD课程的课程，包括所需的5 - 6周临床/转化研究实习（位于我们的CTSA资助的俄勒冈州临床和转化研究所）和所需的纵向临床轮换，在博士期间提供正式的，指导的持续临床经验每月两个半天。广泛的学生跟踪和指导计划已经到位。我们每月的MD/PhD大圆桌会议，由我们的医生科学家提出，并采取基于案例的形式介绍科学谈话，确保持续接触临床和转化研究，我们每周的MD/PhD杂志俱乐部的指导方针要求文章牢固地放在临床背景中。我们的年度MD/PhD研究务虚会还包括OHSU科学家的会谈，其中许多人都有翻译研究项目，以及国际声誉的主题演讲者，选择临床相关性以及他或她的研究质量。我们培养公众演讲技巧，为学生提供多种机会，并从项目总监的正式反馈。我们还强调赠款写作技巧，在制作和提交个人NRSA和专业协会的类似赠款方面提供多种援助来源，成功获得资金的比率非常高。我们新的医学院课程提供了额外的灵活性，在重新进入医学博士课程的时间，并应避免学生采取超过7 - 8年完成该计划，除非在特殊情况下。随着医学院院长的大力支持，以及俄勒冈州临床和转化研究所和部门和教师作为一个整体，我们为培养下一代医生科学家提供了一个理想的环境。
