DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Gulf Coast Consortium Veterinary Training Program in Comparative Medicine (GCC), composed of 3 universities (The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, and Baylor College of Medicine), will offer a 3-year program to provide veterinarians with specialty training in the care and use of laboratory animals and research in a biomedical research environment. This program will fulfill a recognized need to establish a pipeline of veterinarians with such training due to the increased demands for this expertise. Over a 5-year grant period (with non-grant funding for the third year of each trainee), this program will train 3 participants who will be recruited from veterinary schools or clinical practice. The goals of the program are to train competent laboratory animal veterinarians, preparing them to become diplomates in the American College of Laboratory Animal Medicine (ACLAM), and to provide them collaborative research opportunities in animal model development and translational research. In Year 1, trainees will complete clinical rotations at the participating institutions. Year 2 will be devotedto a research project under a well-established research mentor. Year 3 will be composed of clinical care at the participant's parent institution (50% of time) and completing data collection and writing a manuscript for publication (50%). The GCC program's didactic curriculum will cover areas of clinical medicine, pathology, regulations, animal care management, facility design, budgetary issues, security, biostatistics, research methods, epidemiology, and responsible conduct of research, authorship, and ethics. A seminar series (including journal clubs, case presentations, and histopathology slide conferences), 2 semester-long graduate-level courses, and hands-on laboratory training have been integrated into the curriculum. Participants will gain experience with many different species. Participants may pursue an MPH degree. A Program Advisory Committee will provide quarterly reviews of the program and the progress of the trainees. A Research Advisory Committee will provide oversight of the research component. An External Advisory Committee reviews the entire program. The consortium was originally formed in 2007 with recognition through ACLAM as a 2-year program. Three trainees are currently enrolled in the 2-year program, which forms the basis for the proposed 3-year program; the Program Advisory Committee, didactic courses, evaluation plan, and seminar programs are already established. The major components added to this program are the 1 research-focused year, the Research Advisory Committee composed of externally funded research mentors committed to hosting the trainees, and the External Advisory Committee. The lead GCC faculty have been training veterinarians in comparative medicine for over 10 years. Of the 9 postdoctoral fellows who have completed our program, 1 is now a diplomate of ACLAM, 7 are still practicing in the field of laboratory animal medicine, 1 is board eligible this year, and 4 should be board eligible next year.

描述(由申请人提供)：墨西哥湾比较医学联盟兽医培训项目(GCC)由3所大学(德克萨斯大学MD安德森癌症中心、德克萨斯大学休斯顿健康科学中心和贝勒医学院)组成，将提供一个为期3年的项目，为兽医提供实验室动物护理和使用以及生物医学研究环境中的研究方面的专业培训。由于对兽医专业知识的需求增加，该计划将满足建立具有此类培训的兽医渠道的公认需求。在为期5年的资助期内(每个学员的第三年非资助金)，这项计划将培训3名参与者，他们将从兽医学校或临床实践中招募。该计划的目标是 培训合格的实验动物兽医，为他们成为美国实验动物医学院(ACLAM)的文凭做准备，并为他们提供动物模型开发和转化研究的合作研究机会。在第一年，学员将在参与机构完成临床轮换。第二年将在一位著名的研究导师的指导下致力于一项研究项目。第三年将包括在参与者所在机构的临床护理(50%的时间)以及完成数据收集和撰写手稿以供出版(50%)。GCC项目的教学课程将涵盖临床医学、病理学、法规、动物护理管理、设施设计、预算问题、安全、生物统计学、研究方法、流行病学以及负责任的研究行为、作者和伦理学等领域。一系列研讨会(包括期刊俱乐部、案例演示和组织病理学幻灯片会议)、两个学期的研究生课程和动手实验室培训已被整合到课程中。参与者将获得与许多不同物种的经验。参与者可以攻读公共卫生硕士学位。计划咨询委员会将对计划和受训人员的进展进行季度审查。研究咨询委员会将对研究部分进行监督。一个外部咨询委员会审查整个计划。 该联盟最初成立于2007年，通过ACLAM承认为为期两年的计划。目前有三名学员参加了为期两年的课程，这是拟议的三年课程的基础；课程咨询委员会、教学课程、评估计划和研讨会课程已经建立。该计划增加的主要组成部分是1个以研究为重点的年，由致力于接待受训人员的外部资助的研究导师组成的研究咨询委员会，以及外部咨询委员会。 GCC的带头人已经在比较医学方面培训兽医10多年了。在完成我们项目的9名博士后研究员中，1人现为ACLAM文凭，7人仍在实验动物医学领域执业，1人今年符合董事会资格，4人明年应符合董事会资格。
