Abstract Research during the early years of medical education trains medical students in quantitative reasoning, and scientific literacy as well as expose them to a mentors who have devoted their careers to investigation. It thus sharpens their understanding of the processes by which the practice of medicine develops and improves as well as stimulating their interests in research careers. The curriculum at the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Columbia University now requires that all medical students produce a “Scholarly Effort” before graduation expanding our pool of applicants. Research in basic and clinical aspects of Diabetes, Endocrinology, Obesity, Kidney, Urology and Digestive Diseases is particularly strong at our medical school with more than 60 investigators having current RO1 grants. Over the past 4 years, 70 of our students applied each year to enter the T35 training program. While we had initially asked for an annual support of 8-12 students, there were many more qualified applicants and through re-budgeting of our non-training funds we were able to fund 52 students working in these areas (~13/year). The students attended weekly seminars in important topics including career development and the responsible conduct of research. In addition, we hosted a weekly journal club specific for NIDDK trainees where mentors discussed their current research using their publications in high impact journals. We acted as a regional center for medical student research in NIDDK funded fields recruiting 5 additional students who worked with our mentors. The outcomes have exceeded our expectations, 10 of our students over this short period decided to dedicate an additional year of research to their projects; 7 of them had published peer-reviewed papers and 14 presented their work at national and international meetings. Building on our success, we have recruited 35 NIDDK funded mentors to train the future group of medical students. The Program will be supervised by a recruitment and admission committee that will choose the students from the applicant pool, a committee that follows their progress and an internal advisory committee that helps the PI/PD in running the program. Finally, a career development committee will aid the students in making important career decision as they progress through medical school. Recruitment of under-represented minorities among mentors and students is strongly supported by leadership of the College and University and by targeted efforts of this Program.

摘要 医学教育早期的研究训练医学生进行定量推理，以及 科学素养以及让他们接触到一位将他们的职业生涯奉献给研究的导师。它就是这样 加深他们对医学实践发展和改进的过程的理解 并激发他们对研究事业的兴趣。内科医学院的课程设置 哥伦比亚大学的外科医生现在要求所有医学生在 毕业扩大了我们的申请者队伍。糖尿病的基础和临床研究， 内分泌学、肥胖症、肾脏病、泌尿外科和消化系统疾病在我们医学院特别强大 目前有60多名调查人员获得了RO1拨款。在过去的4年里，我们有70名学生申请了 每年都要进入T35培训计划。虽然我们最初要求每年8-12个月的支持 学生们，有更多的合格申请者，通过重新预算我们的非培训资金，我们 能够资助52名在这些领域工作的学生(约13人/年)。学生们参加了每周一次的研讨会 重要话题，包括职业发展和负责任的研究行为。此外，我们还主办了 一个专门针对NIDDK学员的周刊俱乐部，导师们在那里讨论他们目前的研究 在影响力较大的期刊上发表文章。我们在NIDDK充当了医学生研究的区域中心 资助的领域招募了另外5名学生，他们与我们的导师一起工作。结果已经超出了我们的 预计，在这段短时间内，我们的10名学生决定再花一年的时间来研究 他们的项目；其中7人发表了同行评审的论文，14人在国家和国际会议上介绍了他们的工作 国际会议。在我们成功的基础上，我们已经招募了35名由NIDDK资助的导师来培训 未来的医学生群体。该计划将由一个招聘和录取委员会监督 它将从申请者池中选择学生，一个跟踪他们进展的委员会和一个内部 帮助PI/PD执行该计划的咨询委员会。最后，职业发展委员会将 帮助学生在完成医学院学业后做出重要的职业决定。招聘 在导师和学生中代表不足的少数族裔得到了学院领导层的大力支持 和大学，并通过该计划的有针对性的努力。
