University of MIami Neurosurgery eDucation Strategy UMINDS

项目摘要 迈阿密大学神经外科教育战略(UMINDS)的总体目标是 在我们的项目中促进研究科学家的发展，并帮助他们为职业生涯做好准备 作为美国国立卫生研究院资助的独立研究人员。拟议的计划利用了整个大学的影响力。 在神经科学和神经生物学方面的倡议，以形成一个由来自 迈阿密大学的多个系。该计划将由一组临床医生领导 有丰富住院医师教育和独立神经外科资助记录的科学家 (Allan D.Levi，医学博士；Malcolm R.Bullock，医学博士；Dalton Dietrich，博士)。校长 调查人员选择了多样化和极其合格的导师，这些导师将提升科学和 我们住院医生的临床技能。为了容纳范围广泛的居民 研究兴趣，我们创建了两个独立的研究教育轨道：基础/翻译 科学和健康结果/差距。后者将侧重于理解和纠正 基因组学、流行病学和临床研究相结合的神经外科健康差异。 目前的提案将帮助神经外科住院医师过渡到初级教员职位，并 促进获得独立的职业发展奖励(相当于K级或更高)。这个 我们计划的目标是：1)为居民建立一个渠道，以保持强大的研究能力 在他们的实习期间；2)为神经外科住院医师独立的职业生涯做好充分的准备 外科医生-科学家；3)提高学员获得研究资金的能力；4)以及 产生高质量的研究，最终改善健康结果和科学 我们多样化的社区中的知识。通过提供指导、结构和基础设施 支持下，UMINDS独特的培训计划肯定会加强研究教育和 我们神经外科实习生的未来职业生涯。

Project Summary The University of MIami Neurosurgery eDucation Strategy (UMINDS) over-arching goal is to foster the development of research scientists in our program and help prepare them for a career as an independent NIH funded researcher. The proposed program leverages university wide initiatives in neuroscience and neurobiology to form an interdisciplinary group of mentors from multiple departments at the University of Miami. The program will be led by a group of clinician scientists with a rich track record of resident education and independent neurosurgical funding (Allan D. Levi, MD PhD; Malcolm R. Bullock, MD, PhD; and Dalton Dietrich, PhD). The principal investigators selected diverse and extremely qualified mentors that will elevate the scientific and clinical skillsets of our resident cohort. In order to accommodate the wide range of resident research interests, we have created two separate research education tracks: basic/translational science and health outcomes/disparities. The latter will focus on understanding and correcting health disparities in neurosurgery by combining genomic, epidemiologic, and clinical research. The present proposal will help transition neurosurgery residents into junior faculty positions and facilitate the acquisition of independent career development awards (K-equivalent or greater). The goals of our program are 1) to create an avenue for residents to maintain robust research throughout their residency; 2) to fully prepare neurosurgery residents for careers as independent surgeon-scientists; 3) to enhance our trainees’ ability to attain research funding; 4) and to generate high quality research that will ultimately improve health outcomes and scientific knowledge in our diverse community. By providing mentorship, structure and infrastructural support, the UMINDS unique training program will certainly augment the research education and future careers of our neurosurgery trainees.
