Research Track Radiology Residency

宾夕法尼亚大学放射学系建议继续其创新的T32- 审查研究跟踪放射学住院医师计划，目标是培养影像临床医生- 科学家。生物医学成像的临床和科学重要性，成像技术的快速进步， 而对成像研究的不断增加的投资产生了对基于成像的持续且日益增长的需求 临床医生科学家确保将这些进展转化为人类研究和临床实践。那里 继续是全美学术放射学住院医师项目的人才申请者 但只有一小部分项目配备了全面培训放射学临床医生和调查人员的能力。培训 为该提案描述的计划延续了为受训人员设计的宾夕法尼亚大学放射科住院医师课程 对成像科学家的职业感兴趣，利用成像和图像指导方面的高度活跃的计划 治疗和宾夕法尼亚大学放射科内大型且发展良好的研究基础设施。这个 该计划具体包括在放射学住院医生的第四年期间进行一年的研究培训和 在综合放射科住院医师的背景下举办的第二个可选研究金年度 具有符合董事会认证要求的经验。在这项续期建议中，我们继续 重视生物医学成像和影像引导治疗技术的开发和应用 与NIBIB的培训优先顺序相吻合。我们利用我们以前和现在的实习生在 获得学术放射学教职，发表有影响力的研究论文，并开发 独立研究项目和资金，包括美国国立卫生研究院首次颁发的两项早期独立奖 主要被任命在放射科的调查人员。其他成就包括成功 将研究指导年与随后的研究金期间进行的研究结合起来 进行专业培训，以确保连续性。本次续订的计划创新建议包括(1) 介入放射学专用点因该领域研究的增加和新的培训而得到推动 途径；(2)更加关注快速发展的成像研究领域--分子成像、成像 分析/信息学和图像指导疗法--在这些领域有新的教师指导；以及(3)进一步 整合住院医师后奖学金培训和研究，以确保方案的连续性 全身心投入的研究指导。总之，我们要求继续我们非常成功的培训计划 影像和影像引导治疗侧重于临床医生和科学家。

The Department of Radiology at the University of Pennsylvania proposes continuation of its innovative T32- spomsored Research Track Radiology Residency Program with the goal of developing imaging clinician- scientists. The clinical and scientific importance of biomedical imaging, rapid progress in imaging technology, and an increasing investment in imaging research create an ongoing and increasing need for imaging-based clinician scientists to assure translation of these advances into human research and clinical practice. There continues to be a talented pool of resident applicants to academic radiology residency programs across the US but only a small fraction of programs equipped to fully train radiology clinician-investigators. The training program described for this proposal continues the Penn radiology residency track designed for trainees interested in careers as imaging scientists, leveraging a highly active program in imaging and image-guided therapy and the large and well-developed research infrastructure within Penn's Radiology Department. The Program specifically includes 1 year of research training during the 4th year of radiology residency and a second optional research fellowship year undertaken in the context of an integrated radiology resident experience that meets the requirement for board certification. In this renewal proposal, we continue to emphasize the development and application of technology for biomedical imaging and image-guided therapy apropos to NIBIB training priorities. We leverage the considerable success of our prior and current trainees in obtaining academic radiology faculty positions, publishing high-impact research papers, and developing independent research programs and funding, including the first 2 NIH Early Independence Awards ever given to investigators primarily appointed in a radiology department. Other accomplishments include successful integration of the research preceptorship year and research undertaken during subsequent fellowship specialty training in order to assure continuity. Proposed Program innovations for this renewal include (1) a dedicated spot for Interventional Radiology spurred by increasing research in the field and new training pathways; (2) increased focus on rapidly advancing areas of imaging research – molecular imaging, imaging analytics/informatics, and image-guide therapy – with new faculty mentors in these areas; and (3) further integration of post-residency fellowship training and research to assure continuity from the Program's dedicated research preceptorship. In summary, we request to continue our highly successful program to train imaging and image-guided therapy focused clinician-scientists.
