PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The Emory Medical Scientist Training Program leverages our institution’s comprehensive academic programs and diverse clinical training sites to create unique, interdisciplinary training opportunities that culminate in the award of the dual MD/PhD degree. Under the Director’s lead, Co-Directors focus on clinical and research phases of training. Significant clinical exposure precedes graduate training to (a) ensure alignment of clinical and research objectives and (b) facilitate the transition to research-intensive residencies and lifelong careers as physician scientist. Training begins with thirty months of medical training (12 months of which consist of required clinical rotations), during which students also participate in a journal club, advising activities and research rotations that culminate in selecting a PhD advisor and program. During the PhD years, the MD/PhD Program tracks milestones (preliminary exams, formation of dissertation committee, completion of training in research ethics and reproducibility of research; publication requirements; re-entry timeline) to ensure consistent, rigorous training across all PhD paths. The MD/PhD Program also incorporates mentor-mentee check-ins several times a year to ensure supportive training environments and interventions as needed to ensure timely progress to degree. Protected time for longitudinal clinical experiences clinical continuity during the PhD; a smooth post-PhD transition to the final year of clinical training is managed through Re-Entry Course. Emory University’s collaborative ethos is reflected in our program’s academic and administrative structures. The MD/PhD Program is sited within the School of Medicine Office of Medical Education and Student Affairs suite for prompt access to our Registrar, Financial Aid and wellness/support offices such as the Office of Multicultural Affairs. Our monthly Clinical Research Conference offers opportunities for presentations and professional development activities. Our Laney Graduate School partnership ensures smooth transitions between the medical and graduate phases and affords training in the Division of Biological and Biomedical Sciences, the Biomedical Engineering Program (joint program Department of Biomedical Engineering of Georgia Tech and Emory), in any of the doctoral programs in the Rollins School of Public Health, or in graduate programs of Emory College (e.g., Anthropology, Chemistry, Psychology, Sociology). An Executive Committee (which includes partners from our participating schools and programs as well as student leadership representatives) provides oversight. Our Admissions Committee (which includes student representatives) embraces holistic application review. Our annual two-day Retreat provides an opportunity for socializing and reflection on program goals and future directions A grant-writing course taught by one of our program Co- Directors helps trainees prepare NRSA and other fellowship applications. Our students partner with program faculty and staff to spearhead new initiatives, participate in recruitment activities, curriculum development, and program evaluation, all of which leads to program cohesion and physician scientist leadership development.

项目概要/摘要 埃默里医学科学家培训计划利用我们机构的综合学术课程 和多样化的临床培训场所，创造独特的跨学科培训机会，最终实现 授予医学博士/博士学位双学位。在主任的领导下，联合主任专注于临床和研究 培训的阶段。在研究生培训之前进行大量的临床接触，以（a）确保临床的一致性 和研究目标，以及 (b) 促进向研究密集型住院医师和终身职业的过渡 作为医师科学家。培训从三十个月的医疗培训开始（其中 12 个月包括 所需的临床轮换），在此期间，学生还参加期刊俱乐部、咨询活动和 研究轮换最终选择博士导师和项目。在攻读博士学位期间，MD/PhD 计划跟踪里程碑（初步考试、论文委员会的组建、完成培训 研究伦理和研究的可重复性；出版要求；重新进入时间表）以确保 贯穿所有博士路径的一致、严格的培训。 MD/PhD 项目还包括导师-受训者 每年多次签到，以确保支持性培训环境和所需的干预措施 确保及时升读学位。纵向临床经验的保护时间 期间的临床连续性 博士学位；通过重新入学管理博士后顺利过渡到最后一年的临床培训 课程。埃默里大学的协作精神体现在我们项目的学术和行政管理中 结构。 MD/PhD 项目位于医学院医学教育办公室和 学生事务套件可快速访问我们的注册处、经济援助和健康/支持办公室，例如 多元文化事务办公室。我们每月的临床研究会议提供演讲机会 和专业发展活动。我们与莱尼研究生院的合作伙伴关系确保顺利过渡 在医学和研究生阶段之间提供生物和生物医学部门的培训 科学，生物医学工程项目（联合项目生物医学工程系 佐治亚理工学院和埃默里大学），罗林斯公共卫生学院的任何博士课程，或 埃默里学院的研究生课程（例如人类学、化学、心理学、社会学）。行政人员 委员会（包括我们参与学校和项目的合作伙伴以及学生领导 代表）提供监督。我们的招生委员会（包括学生代表） 包括整体申请审查。我们每年为期两天的静修会提供了社交和交流的机会 对项目目标和未来方向的反思 由我们的项目合作伙伴之一教授的资助写作课程 董事帮助学员准备 NRSA 和其他奖学金申请。我们的学生与项目合作 教职员工带头采取新举措，参与招聘活动、课程开发和 项目评估，所有这些都会导致项目凝聚力和医师科学家领导力的发展。
