PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT We propose a new Training Program in Surgical Innovation (TPSI) to provide pre-doctoral engineering students the knowledge, skills and experience necessary for becoming leaders in surgical innovation. The program will launch research-intensive careers devoted to improving the safety and outcomes of surgical procedures. TPSI will link two substantial institutional investments: a programmatic initiative by Dartmouth’s Thayer School of Engineering (TSE) to create the nation’s first PhD Innovation Program, and construction of a state-of-the-art NIH-sponsored surgical research facility, the Center for Surgical Innovation (CSI). The PhD Innovation Program will provide TPSI national recognition, a well-developed curriculum, experienced faculty, approved advanced degree requirements and a proven track record of success. CSI will provide TPSI trainees access to experienced clinician-scientists and state-of-the-art operating rooms equipped with advanced intraoperative imaging, designed to safely switch between human and large animal use. The requested funding will cover tuition and stipends for an increasing number of pre-doctoral students – 2 in Year 1, 4 in Year 2 and 6 in Years 3-5. TPSI will be overseen by a committee of three Program Directors with expertise in Biomedical Engineering, Surgical Translation, and Innovation & Entrepreneurship, respectively, interfacing with nearly 50 actively-funded potential faculty Mentors. Participating faculty are organized into Biomedical Engineering (BE), Surgical Translation (ST) and Innovation & Entrepreneurship (IE) groups, and each trainee will be assigned to a trio of these Mentors for guidance through the program. Participation in TPSI will require trainees to satisfy all of the elements of TSE’s PhD Innovation degree – technical proficiency, technical breadth, specialization, professional competence, original research and innovation skills development – tailored to the surgical setting, including a new surgical rotation course and a surgical innovation internship. The latter provide immersive learning experiences unlike traditional predoctoral biomedical engineering graduate programs. Methods for trainee recruitment and retention, program evaluation and instruction in responsible conduct of research are in place, and will be monitored and assessed by Dartmouth’s Center for Program Design and Evaluation as an entity external to TPSI. TPSI will draw upon existing distinctions in translational research, innovation and entrepreneurship at Dartmouth, and unprecedented access to CSI’s one-of-a-kind operating rooms. It will create a workforce of surgical innovation experts who devote their talents and careers to improving outcomes of surgical patients. The program will bring an organized, systematic approach to address unsolved problems in surgery, rather than leave them to incremental approaches, chance, or trial and error.

项目摘要/摘要 我们提出了一个新的外科创新培训计划(TPSI)来提供博士前工程 学生具备成为外科创新领导者所需的知识、技能和经验。这个 该计划将启动致力于提高外科手术安全性和结果的研究密集型职业 程序。TPSI将把两项重要的机构投资联系起来：达特茅斯的一项计划倡议 塞耶工程学院(TSE)创建全国首个博士创新计划，并建设 由NIH赞助的最先进的外科研究机构--外科创新中心(CSI)。博士学位 创新计划将提供TPSI国家认可，完善的课程，经验丰富的教师， 已获批准的高级学位要求和已证明的成功记录。CSI将为TPSI学员提供 获得经验丰富的临床医生和科学家，以及配备先进的 术中成像，旨在安全地在人类和大型动物之间切换使用。申请的资金 将支付越来越多的博士前学生的学费和津贴-一年级二年级，二年级四年级和 6岁，3-5岁。TPSI将由一个由三名具有生物医学专业知识的项目主任组成的委员会监督 工程、外科翻译和创新创业分别与近50人对接 积极资助的潜在教师导师。参与的教员被组织成生物医学工程(BE)， 外科翻译(ST)和创新创业(IE)小组，每个实习生将被分配到 其中三位导师在整个项目中提供指导。参加TPSI将要求受训者满足所有 谢霆锋博士创新学位的要素--技术熟练程度、技术广度、专业性、 专业能力、原创研究和创新技能发展-为外科医生量身定做 背景，包括一个新的外科轮换课程和一个外科创新实习。后者提供 与传统的博士前生物医学工程研究生项目不同，沉浸式学习体验。 受训人员招聘和留用的方法、项目评估和负责任的行为指导 研究已经到位，并将由达特茅斯程序设计和评估中心进行监测和评估 作为TPSI之外的一个实体进行评价。TPSI将利用翻译研究中现有的区别， 达特茅斯的创新和创业，以及史无前例地获得CSI独一无二的运营 房间。它将造就一支外科创新专家队伍，他们将把自己的才华和职业生涯奉献给 改善手术患者的预后。该计划将带来一种有组织、系统的方法来解决 手术中未解决的问题，而不是把它们留给渐进的方法、机会或试错。
