PROJECT SUMMARY The growing role of imaging in clinical care and biomedical research has resulted in an acute shortage of well- trained clinician-scientists in Radiology. Only a small fraction of current residents choose academics, fewer pursue research, and fewer still garner funding. The UT Southwestern (UTSW) Department of Radiology developed a unique program to train outstanding clinicians and fundable team leaders and scientists. It is based upon the successful and proven model Dr. Mattrey built at UCSD prior to joining UTSW. We select applicants with proven track record in research – those that extended medical school by 1 or more years to perform research, rather than rely on attracting clinically bound trainees to academics. UTSW is fortunate to have attracted over 130 T32 qualified applicants per year over the past 3 years with such a track record. We interview from this group those with excellent medical school performance to ensure that they will perform as well as their highly competitive clinical colleagues. The UTSW training model was improved by 1) guaranteeing an internship slot in our top ranked medicine or surgery programs, and 2) providing 9 months of elective time in the last training year, after the board examination, to hone clinical skills, complete or transition their research if they changed their clinical focus, and time to submit a career award guided by their mentors. The training model immerses the trainee in mentored research and clinical training over the entire 6 years. It begins with the internship year that provides 3 months in Radiology to select a mentor and a project, and prepare them to spend their 2nd year dedicated to research unencumbered by clinical responsibilities. It also keeps trainees engaged during the subsequent 4 clinical years to build upon research by spending 6 weeks of dedicated research time per year, and more so in their last clinical year providing them nearly 2 years of dedicated research. In addition to research training, clinical training will be identical and in sync with their clinical peers making them equally skilled, but will be tailored during the last year to meet their clinical as well as their research goals. In addition to the extensive standard clinical lectures, they will have additional lectures and workshops specific to the needs of a clinician scientist. The mentorship provided over the entire 6 years by their career mentor – selected from one of our 9 clinician-scientists, will be supplemented by their research mentor they select by the end of their internship year providing them role models to guide their future careers. UTSW and the UTSW Department of Radiology are well suited to train the next generation of imaging scientists. Radiology has an extremely supportive Chairman, outstanding resources and infrastructure, and outstanding well-funded mentors in Radiology (>6.5M/year). We added 4 non-Radiology mentors that are engaged in imaging research. Our mentors have trained over 250 trainees in the past 10 years, have 40 current trainees, and are PIs on 42 active grants totaling $22.4M/year with non-competing renewals through 2022. Their trainees have published 690 unique manuscripts the majority of which in high impact journals.

项目摘要 影像学在临床护理和生物医学研究中的作用越来越大，导致了良好的 受过放射学培训的临床科学家。只有一小部分目前的居民选择学术，更少 从事研究，更少的人获得资金。UT西南（UTSW）放射科 开发了一个独特的计划，以培养优秀的临床医生和可资助的团队领导者和科学家。是 基于Mattrey博士在加入UTSW之前在UCSD建立的成功和经过验证的模型。我们选择 申请人在研究方面有良好的记录-那些延长医学院1年或以上， 进行研究，而不是依靠吸引临床实习生到学术界。UTSW很幸运， 在过去3年，每年吸引超过130名T32合格申请人。我们 从这一组中面试那些在医学院表现出色的人，以确保他们将表现得像 以及他们竞争激烈的临床同事。UTSW培训模式通过以下方式得到改进：1）保证 在我们排名靠前的医学或外科项目中实习，2）提供9个月的选修时间， 最后一年的培训，在委员会考试后，磨练临床技能，完成或过渡他们的研究，如果 他们改变了他们的临床重点，并在导师的指导下提交了职业奖。 培训模式使受训者在整个6年内沉浸在指导研究和临床培训中。它 从实习年开始，提供3个月的放射学选择导师和项目， 准备他们花他们的第二年致力于研究不受临床责任。它还 在随后的4个临床年中，通过花费6周的时间， 每年专门的研究时间，在他们的最后一个临床年度更是如此，为他们提供了近2年的 专注的研究。除了研究培训外，临床培训将与他们的培训相同并同步。 临床同行，使他们同样熟练，但将在过去一年中量身定制，以满足他们的临床以及 作为他们的研究目标。除了广泛的标准临床讲座，他们将有额外的讲座 和专门针对临床科学家需求的研讨会。在过去的6年里， 他们的职业导师（从我们的9名临床科学家中选出）将得到他们的研究的补充 他们在实习年结束前选择导师，为他们提供榜样，指导他们未来的职业生涯。 UTSW和UTSW放射科非常适合培训下一代成像 科学家放射科有一个非常支持主席，优秀的资源和基础设施， 放射学领域杰出的资金充足的导师（> 650万/年）。我们增加了4名非放射学导师， 从事影像学研究。在过去的10年里，我们的导师已经培训了250多名学员， 目前的学员，并在42个活跃的赠款，总额为2240万美元/年与非竞争性续约通过PI 2022.他们的学员发表了690篇独特的手稿，其中大部分在高影响力的期刊上。
