Medical Scientist Training Program

马里兰大学(UM)医学院的医学博士项目成立于#年 1982年，由美国国立卫生研究院于2010年资助。我们医学科学家培训计划(MSTP)的使命 是培养一支多样化和富有创造力的内科科学家干部队伍，他们将成为他们选择的 研究领域，寻求新知识，并将这些知识应用于增进健康。我们的目标 是：汇聚来自巴尔的摩州立大学巴尔的摩分校最优秀的医学博士学生和教职员工 县、密歇根大学园区和美国国立卫生研究院致力于为医学博士研究生提供综合培训 致力于研究事业；开发和评估设计的双学位培训的新方法 提高完成率和缩短时间达到学位；招聘和留住人数不足的人 少数民族医学博士生；并为医学博士生培养成为内科科学家 利用他们在学术界、政府、 研究机构和行业与NIH对培养内科科学家的重视一致 劳动力。 我们的课程包括非常强大的临床前和临床培训，简称研究生 教学研究，旨在整合医学和科学知识的特定于MSTP的课程，以及 灵活地从研究生院重新进入医学院。MSTP特有的活动包括：分子到 医学期刊俱乐部；研究生项目定向；夏季研究轮换 加强研究严谨性方法证书；内科科学家研讨会； 研究生期间的临床病例研究和纵向临床见习；年度MSTP 静修和医学博士捐赠讲座。我们的学位论文研究机会非常广泛， 是跨学科的。因此，我们的计划确保了医学博士研究生不仅仅是医学博士 受过博士培训的学生。 在当前资助期内，我们的MSTP已过渡到新的计划总监(PD) 为该计划带来新的视角和新的倡议。PD，一位内科科学家， 在研究、教育和患者护理方面的资历，加入副主任(AD)，他是 有管理研究生教育项目经验的有成就的科学家。 我们过去五年的成功可以从我们申请者的质量和多样性中可见一斑。 和学生，高出版生产率和出色的常驻安置。我们计划建造 通过扩大我们的整体计划规模并继续开发创新的 培训和指导策略。

The MD/PhD Program at the University of Maryland (UM) School of Medicine was established in 1982 and funded by the NIH in 2010. The mission of our Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP) is to train a diverse and creative cadre of physician-scientists who will become leaders in their chosen fields of research, seek new knowledge and apply that knowledge to enhance health. Our objectives are to: bring together the best MD-PhD students and faculty from the UM Baltimore, UM Baltimore County, UM College Park and the NIH to provide integrated training to MD-PhD students committed to pursuing research careers; develop and assess novel approaches to dual-degree training designed to enhance completion rates and decrease time to degrees; recruit and retain underrepresented minority MD-PhD students; and prepare MD-PhD students to become physician-scientists making significant, independent contributions using their dual degree training in academia, government, research institutes and industry consistent with NIH’s emphasis on developing the physician-scientist workforce. Our curriculum consists of very strong preclinical and clinical training, abbreviated graduate didactic studies, MSTP-specific courses designed to integrate medical and scientific knowledge, and flexible reentry from graduate school to medical school. MSTP-specific activities include: Molecules to Medicine journal club; Graduate program orientations; Summer Research Rotations with associated Symposium; Certificate in Methods to Enhance Research Rigor; Physician Scientist Seminars; Clinical Case Studies and Longitudinal Clinical Clerkship during graduate school; annual MSTP Retreat and MD/PhD endowed lecture. Our opportunities for dissertation research are extensive and are interdisciplinary by design. Thus, our program ensures the MD/PhD students are not merely MD students with PhD training. During the current funding period, our MSTP has transitioned to a new Program Director (PD) bringing a fresh perspective and new initiatives to the program. The PD, a physician-scientist with credentials in research, education and patient care, joins an Associate Director (AD) who is an accomplished scientist with experience running a graduate education program. Our success during the last five years can be seen the quality and diversity of our applicant pool and students, high publication productivity and outstanding residency placements. We plan to build on this success by increasing the size of our overall program and continuing to develop innovative training and mentoring strategies.
