Surgery Summer Research Experience for Medical Students

 描述（由申请人提供）：威斯康星州（UW）外科医学生暑期研究经验的大学已经由美国国立卫生研究院T35在过去九年的支持。继2015年夏天，该计划将支持40名医学生在手术NIDDK相关的研究项目，因为它的最后一个竞争更新，包括来自代表性不足的种族和民族群体的七个人。在赫伯特陈博士的坚强领导下，该计划为医学生提供了一个集中的，8-12周的指导研究和培训经验，引导学生走向涉及学术研究的职业道路，并鼓励学生考虑学术手术的职业生涯的次要目标。该计划促进知识，能力，技能，专业态度和经验的发展，以了解成功的学术基础科学，转化，临床或卫生服务研究所涉及的内容。在此期间，学员正式同意履行培训计划的要求，创建个人发展计划，参加有效的研究和职业发展的既定课程，完成研究项目，在部门研讨会上展示他们的研究，撰写并提交摘要到一个区域和一个国家会议，在威斯康星州医学生研究论坛和外科研究峰会的部门的大学提出口头或海报介绍，并完成课程和计划的评估。每年有八名医学生被选中从这个T35短期培训补助金的支持，该计划已经建立了良好的声誉，并吸引了自成立以来聪明和积极的学生。该计划利用UW外科系和UW医学与公共卫生学院的广泛资源，提供全面的培训经验，包括主题补充教学会议，包括研究的设计和进行，科学知识的有效沟通，科学写作，资助机会，职业发展和负责任的研究行为。威斯康星州的大学有一个强大的投资组合NIH资助的培训赠款;然而，这个T35代表了专门支持医学生短期培训机会的唯一计划。通过将医学生与成功的医生科学家合作，他们将成为研究的榜样，我们的目标是增加未来的医生科学家队伍。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Wisconsin (UW) Surgery Summer Research Experience for Medical Students has been supported by an NIH T35 for the past nine years. Following summer 2015, the program will have supported 40 medical students in surgical NIDDK-related research projects since its last competing renewal, including seven individuals from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups. Under the strong leadership of Dr. Herbert Chen, the program provides medical students with a focused, 8-12 week, mentored research and training experience that guide students towards a career pathway which involves academic research, with a secondary goal of encouraging students to consider a career in academic surgery. The program fosters the development of knowledge, competence, skills, professional attitudes, and experience required to understand what is involved in successful academic basic science, translational, clinical or health services research. During this experience, trainees formally agree to fulfill training program requirements, create an individual development plan, attend an established curriculum in effective research and career development, complete a research project, present their research at a departmental seminar, write and submit an abstract to one regional and one national meeting, present an oral or poster presentation at the University of Wisconsin Medical Student Research Forum and the Department of Surgery Research Summit, and complete assessments of the curriculum and the program. Each year eight medical students are selected for support from this T35 short-term training grant and the program has built a strong reputation and attracted bright and motivated students since its inception. The program utilizes the extensive resources of the UW Department of Surgery and the UW School of Medicine and Public Health to offer a comprehensive training experience that includes supplemental didactic conferences on topics including design and conduct of research, effective communication of scientific knowledge, scientific writing, funding opportunities, career development, and responsible conduct of research. The University of Wisconsin has a strong portfolio of NIH-funded training grants; however, this T35 represents the only program that specifically supports short-term training opportunities for medical students. By partnering medical students with successful physician scientists who will serve as research role models, we aim to increase the future pool of physician scientists.
