Surgical Scientist Training Grant in Health Services and Translational Research

 描述（由申请人提供）：本T32申请的目标是支持外科住院医师的继续培训，使其成为卫生服务和转化研究领域的医生-科学家。在我们资金充足的实验室，外科科学家的转化研究培训将集中在创伤，烧伤，伤口愈合和再生医学领域，而培训将在卫生服务研究领域启动，以教育外科医生在临床结果调查的关键学科，以促进循证医学。前者强调将科学发现从研究工作台转化到患者的床边，而后者则以确定治疗干预措施的有效性为中心，以改善临床结果。培训补助金的卫生服务研究部分的目的是让年轻的外科医生将临床经验与项目开发和研究方法的培训相结合。该课程旨在鼓励该计划的参与者成为未来的学术外科调查人员，他们将应用此培训来寻找美国医疗保健系统所带来的许多挑战的解决方案。培训补助金的转化科学部分的目的是提供实验室研究项目设计的正式指导和假设驱动调查的合理研究方法，以推动外科创新的界限。该计划将培养一批准备充分的外科科学家，以帮助他们轻松过渡到学术界。未来 学术外科研究者将受益于这两个重要领域的更多知识，因为他们将处于独特的地位，可以启动连接临床和基础实验的研究，同时还可以评估其治疗效果。我们过去的学员已经成功地推出了学术生涯，并获得了博士学位，使用我们的T-32赠款培训作为职业定义的经验。通过这个新结构的组织，在我们的下一次迭代的培训补助金，这个新的计划是特别适合于培训第th学术外科医生的21世纪。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of this T32 application is to support the continued training of surgical residents to become physician-scientists in Health Services and Translational Research. In our well-funded laboratories, the translational research training of surgical scientists will focus on the fields of trauma, burn, wound healing, and regenerative medicine while training will be initiated in the area of health services research in order to educate surgeons in the critical discipline of clinical outcomes investigation to promote evidenced-based medicine. The former emphasizes translating scientific discoveries from the research bench to the patient's bedside, whereas the latter centers on determining the efficacy of therapeutic interventions to improve clinical outcomes. The purpose of the health services research portion of the training grant is for young surgeons to integrate clinical experience with training in program development and research methods. The curriculum is designed to encourage the participants of the program to become future academic surgical investigators who will apply this training to find solutions to the many challenges posed by the U.S. healthcare system. The purpose of the translational scientific portion of the training grant is to provide formal instruction on laboratory research project design and sound research methods of hypothesis-driven investigation to push the boundaries of surgical innovation. The program will foster a cadre of well-prepared surgical scientists to ease their transition into academics. Future academic surgical investigators will benefit from greater knowledge in both important areas as they will be in the unique position to initiate research that bridges clinical and basic experimentation while also evaluating the effectiveness of their treatments. Our past trainees have successfully launched careers in academics and received PhDs using our T-32 grant training as a career defining experience. Through this newly structured organization in our next iteration of this training grant, this novel program is particularly well suited toward training th academic surgeons of the 21st century.
