Research track radiology residency

描述(由申请人提供)： 宾夕法尼亚大学放射学系提出了一项创新的培训计划，旨在培养成像临床科学家。成像在临床护理和生物医学研究中的作用越来越大，这导致了对以成像为基础的临床科学家的迫切需求。全美各地都有一批优秀的放射学住院医师项目申请者，其中只有一小部分人在追求学术生涯。即使是一小部分受训人员也会被培养成临床科学家。本建议中描述的培训计划建立在宾夕法尼亚大学放射科优秀的临床培训计划和大型研究基础设施的基础上 为了开发一个为对成像科学家的职业感兴趣的实习生而设计的实习轨道。研究途径包括两年的研究培训，第一次是在住院期间，第二次是作为奖学金的一部分。 临床培训将侧重于学员特别感兴趣的领域，此外还将满足委员会认证的要求。研究年数由PGY 5临床年分隔开，在此期间，学员将准备并完成放射学诊断委员会考试。除了研究感知，该计划还包括成像技术、基础生物学、生物统计学和临床研究设计等教学课程。研究研讨会和密切指导也是该计划的重要组成部分。据信，在整个国家住院医师配对计划中提供的综合培训计划将提供一个机会，让住院医师在早期接受培训，从而培养出训练有素的专职影像临床科学家，满足全国的需求。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Department of Radiology at the University of Pennsylvania proposes an innovative training program with the aim of developing imaging clinician scientists. The growing role of imaging in clinical care and biomedical research has resulted in an acute need for imaging-based clinician scientists. There is a talented pool of resident applicants to academic radiology residency programs across the US, with only a small fraction pursuing academic careers. Even a smaller fraction of trainees are developed into clinician scientists. The training program described in this proposal builds on the excellent clinical training programs and the large research infrastructure within Penn's Radiology department in order to develop a residency track designed for trainees interested in careers as imaging scientists. The research track includes 2 years of research training, the first during residency and a second as part of a fellowship. Clinical training will focus on areas of specific interest to the trainee in addition to meeting the requirement for board certification. The research years are separated by the PGY 5 clinical year during which trainees will prepare for and complete the board examination in Diagnostic Radiology. In addition to the research percepterships, the program includes didactic courses in imaging technology, basic biology, biostatistics and clinical research design. Research seminars and close mentoring also represent significant components of the program. It is believed that an integrated training program offered throughout the National Residents Matching program will offer an opportunity to engage residents early in their training resulting in committed well-trained imaging clinical scientists, meeting a national need.
