Short term training for veterinary students

项目摘要 本更新申请中概述的培训计划的目的是提供短期密集研究 专业兽医学生的经验。短期目标是激发追求的兴趣 基于假设的研究，检查机制，治疗和预防疾病。长期 我们的目标是增加兽医学生谁拥抱研究的一部分，他们的职业生涯，重点是 从基础科学/发现到转化和流行病学研究。这些人填补了一个独特的 在生物医学界的利基，结合比较医学教育与解释技能， 对促进人类和动物健康至关重要。该计划是基于一个研究密集的夏天 这是一个更大的夏季研究计划的一部分。第一年和第二年的兽医学生选择 来自俄亥俄州州立兽医学院、医学院和医学院研究生教师的导师 和药房。这确保了学生广泛接触健康科学界的各个方面。项目 在学生和导师之间的合作开发，确保项目反映学生的兴趣， 想法.在夏季之前制定提案和开展初步培训活动， 研究成果的发表将集中在夏季之后的一段时间。后者包括一个结束- 夏季研究研讨会，学生口头介绍研究成果，海报/平台 在第二年春天的CVM研究日上发表演讲。参与的学生是从 OSU CVM社区。最有价值的项目是根据提交的建议书和排名选出的 由CVM理事会研究，最终裁决由执行指导委员会 暑期研究计划。这种方法最大限度地提高了学生和项目的质量， 申请10个T35职位。教师导师：学生比例为3：1，提供了大量的培训 确保符合学生兴趣的选项。我们有一个正式的程序来获得学生的反馈， 因此，夏季研讨会越来越注重职业发展。作为这项工作的一部分，我们现在提供 暑期研究生有机会参加雷尼尔学者计划，为他们的职业生涯定位 工业上结合小组讨论，涉及研究生，博士后，教师和兽医 政府的研究人员，接触潜在的研究职业是全面的。随后的追求 研究生教育是项目成功的主要指标。在60名已完成培训的T35学员中， DVM，48%已经或正在从事研究生教育，这是一个强大的基础研究- 导向的职业。

Project Summary The purpose of the training program outlined in this renewal application is to provide short-term intensive research experiences to professional veterinary medical students. The short-term goal is to stimulate an interest in the pursuit of hypothesis-based research that examines mechanisms, treatment, and prevention of disease. The long-term goal is to increase the number of veterinary students who embrace research as part of their career, with a focus that ranges from basic science/discovery to translational and epidemiological studies. These individuals fill a unique niche in the biomedical community, combining a comparative medical education with investigatory skills that are essential to advancing human and animal health. The program is based upon a research intensive summer experience that is part of a larger Summer Research Program. First- and second-year veterinary students select mentors from graduate faculty with primary appointments in Ohio State's Colleges of Veterinary Medicine, Medicine and Pharmacy. This assures broad exposure of students to all facets of the health sciences community. Projects are developed in collaboration between student and mentor, assuring the project reflects student interests and ideas. Development of the proposal and preliminary training activities occur prior to summer, and presentation and publication of research results are emphasized in the period following summer. The latter includes an end-of- summer research symposium, where students make oral presentations of research results, and poster/platform presentations at the CVM Research Day the following spring. Participating students are selected from within the OSU CVM community. The most meritorious projects are selected based upon proposals submitted to and ranked by the CVM Council for Research, with final award decisions made by the Executive Steering Committee of the Summer Research Program. This approach maximizes quality of students and projects, with an average of 30 applications for 10 T35 positions. The faculty mentor:student ratio is 3:1, providing a large number of training options that ensures a fit with student interests. We have a formal process for obtaining student feedback and as a result, summer seminars are increasingly focused on career development. As part of this effort, we now provide summer research students the opportunity to engage in a Rainier Scholars Program that positions them for careers in industry. Combined with panel discussions involving graduate students, post docs, faculty and veterinary researchers in government, the exposure to potential research careers is comprehensive. Subsequent pursuit of graduate education is a leading indicator of program success. Of the 60 T35 trainees who have completed their DVM, 48% have or are currently engaged in graduate education, this being a strong foundation for research- oriented careers.
