PROJECT SUMMARY The decrease in the number of physician-scientists correlates with the NIH’s concern regarding the lack of skilled investigators capable of leading the translation of research discoveries to clinical practice. To address this national shortage, the Department of Surgery at the University of Miami (UM) Health System and the Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center (Sylvester), have re-dedicated the renewal of this T32 training program to producing outstanding academic surgical oncologists—both clinician investigators and physician scientists. Integration of a two-year research experience into a general surgery residency or surgical oncology fellowship enhances the likelihood that surgeons will pursue academic careers. The trainees who have completed the research portion of their training are currently completing their clinical training, and we anticipate that they will pursue academic careers in fields related to surgical oncology following completion of their training. Trainees have demonstrated tremendous productivity as evidenced by publications, national presentations, and awards. The specific objectives of this program are to: 1) provide training in the conduct of basic, translational, health services, disparities and clinical hypothesis- driven research, through participation in a two-year, tailored didactic and mentored post-doctoral research training program experience; 2) integrate surgical oncology research into general surgery residency and fellowship programs; and 3) develop and expand the pool of surgeon-scientists to become productive researchers and future leaders in academic surgical oncology. Our program provides opportunities in a broad range of research training disciplines through two types of research tracks: 1) a basic and translational science research track in which trainees spend 24 months in the laboratory or 2) a health disparities and outcomes research track in which trainees spend 24 months under the direction of one or two of the faculty mentors; this track may include either one year of laboratory-based research followed by a year of population-based research or two years of population-based research. This versatility in academic training increases the likelihood of obtaining an academic position upon completion of training. The mentors in our program include a pool of experienced, extramurally funded physician- and research-scientists with active research programs in a variety of surgical oncology-related disciplines including surgery, oncology, population health, health disparities, and biomedical engineering, who are committed to the highest quality research experience. Our T32 Research Training Program in Surgical Oncology incorporates an effective assessment processes, a plan to promote diversity by recruiting and retaining both women and minorities, and a comprehensive plan for training in the responsible conduct of research in a dynamic, stimulating and collegial learning environment in which aspiring academic surgical oncologists can receive research training.

项目总结 内科科学家数量的减少与美国国立卫生研究院对缺乏 有能力将研究发现转化为临床实践的熟练研究人员。至 为了解决这一全国性的短缺问题，迈阿密大学(UM)卫生系统的外科系 和西尔维斯特综合癌症中心(西尔维斯特)，重新致力于更新这台T32 培养优秀的学术外科肿瘤学家的培训计划--既是临床医生的研究人员 以及内科科学家。将两年的研究经验整合到普通外科住院医师中 或者外科肿瘤学奖学金增加了外科医生追求学术职业的可能性。这个 已完成研究部分培训的学员目前正在完成临床 培训，我们预计他们将在与外科肿瘤学相关的领域追求学术生涯 在完成他们的训练之后。实习生表现出了巨大的生产力，这是有目共睹的 通过出版物、国家演示文稿和奖项。本计划的具体目标是：1) 提供基本、翻译、健康服务、差异和临床假说方面的培训- 通过参加为期两年的量身定做的教学和指导的博士后研究 研究培训项目经验；2)将外科肿瘤学研究融入普通外科 住院医师和研究员计划；以及3)培养和扩大外科医生-科学家的人才库 富有成效的研究人员和未来学术外科肿瘤学的领导者。我们的计划提供了 通过两种类型的研究轨道在广泛的研究培训学科中提供机会：1)a) 基础和转化科学研究课程，学员在实验室工作24个月或2) 健康差距和结果研究轨道，学员在指导下花费24个月的时间 一个或两个教师导师；这一课程可能包括一年的基于实验室的研究 然后是一年的基于人口的研究或两年的基于人口的研究。这 学术培训的多面性增加了获得学术职位的可能性 完成培训。我们计划中的导师包括一批经验丰富的外部资助的 内科和研究型科学家在各种与外科肿瘤学相关的领域拥有积极的研究计划 学科包括外科、肿瘤学、人口健康、健康差距和生物医学工程， 他们致力于提供最高质量的研究体验。我们的T32研究培训计划在 外科肿瘤学结合了有效的评估过程，通过以下方式促进多样性的计划 招聘和留住妇女和少数群体，以及一项全面的培训计划 在充满活力、激励和大学学习的环境中负责任地进行研究 有抱负的学术外科肿瘤学家可以接受研究培训。
