Development of Clinician/Researchers in Academic ENT

描述(由申请者提供)：这一培训计划提供了一条途径，引导受过医学培训的个人在学术耳鼻喉科的研究生涯中取得成功。研究经验和培训分为两个层次。在第一阶段，医学生进行短期(大约持续2-3个月)的研究项目，旨在激发人们对研究的普遍兴趣和对耳鼻喉科研究问题的特殊兴趣。通过负责招生和学生事务的助理院长，建立了一个机制，确保立即接触到所有对暑期研究感兴趣的医学生。选定的研究导师和T-32项目主任负责管理这一级别的培训。在第二级，通过特殊的住院匹配机制被选入为期7年的“高级医师学者计划”的住院医师，在连续两年的时间内，进行深入的导师研究，免去临床责任。分组研究期通常发生在外科实习之后，但可以改变，以允许至少一名学者在开始受保护的研究分组之前获得额外的临床培训和研究准备时间。预计研究小组将为个人提供一个“家庭实验室”，在那里他们将继续进行研究，重点是提高他们的研究技能和赠款撰写经验，在他们随后的几年临床培训中竞争小额资助以获得额外资金。为每位学者选择一个三人受训人员顾问团；该顾问团协助受训人员选择项目和研究导师。此后，研究导师和咨询小组指导受训者进行为期两年的具体实践研究培训和持续的学习课程，课程以赠款撰写、手稿准备、公开演讲和负责任的研究行为为基础，特别强调利益冲突、负责任的作者身份、处理不当行为的政策、关于使用人类和动物科目的政策、数据管理和数据共享。为受训者设定了具有里程碑意义的时间线和质量基准，特别是为他们工作的科学界设定了为期7年的完整实习。整个大学的基础和临床研究研讨会和会议，以及华盛顿大学教职员工和受训人员每两周举行的联合研究会议，每月举行的医生-科学家会议，以及一年一度的常驻研究日演示，都提供了额外的“研究文化”体验。强烈鼓励演讲、竞赛和参加全国性的研究会议。由于研究是最佳患者护理的重要组成部分，医生和科学家是至关重要的，该项目的具体目标是培训个人成功竞争NIH赞助的研究奖项，从而鼓励持续和多产的研究事业。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This training program provides a pathway directing medically trained individuals toward a successful research career in academic otolaryngology. Research experience and training are available at two levels. At the first level, medical students perform short (approximately 2-3 month duration) research projects designed to stimulate a general interest in research and a specific interest in otolaryngological research questions. An established mechanism to insure immediate access to all medical students interested in summer research is in place through the Assistant Dean for Admissions and Student Affairs. The selected research mentor and the T-32 program director manage training at this level. At the second level, residents selected into the 7-year "Advanced Physician Scholars Program" by a special residency match mechanism perform mentored research in depth, in a contiguous two-year period, free of clinical responsibilities. The block research period generally takes place after the surgical internship, but may be shifted to allow at least one of the Scholars to obtain additional clinical training and research preparation time before beginning the protected research block. It is expected that the research block will provide the individual with a "home laboratory" in which they will continue their investigations with emphasis on increasing their research skills and grant writing experience by competing for small grants for additional funding throughout their subsequent years of clinical training. For each scholar a three member Trainee Advisory Panel is chosen; this panel assists the trainee in selecting a project and research mentor. Thereafter, the research mentor and Advisory Panel guide the trainee through the two years of specific hands-on research training and an ongoing study curriculum based upon grant writing, manuscript preparation, public speaking and responsible conduct of research, with special emphasis on conflict of interest, responsible authorship, policies for handling misconduct, policies regarding the use of human and animal subjects, data management, and data-sharing. Milestone time-lines and quality benchmarks are set for the trainees throughout their complete 7-year residency, specific for the community of science in which they work. Basic and clinical research seminars and conferences throughout the University as well as biweekly combined research conferences of Washington University faculty and trainees, monthly Physician- Scientist Conferences, and the annual Resident Research Day presentations provide an additional "research culture" experience. Presentation, competition, and attendance at national research meetings are strongly encouraged. Because research is a vital component of optimal patient care and physician- scientists are crucial, the specific aim of the program is to train individuals to compete successfully for NIH- sponsored research awards thereby encouraging a sustained and productive research career.
