Summer Institute on Integrative Health Equity and Applied Research (IHEAR)

项目总结/摘要 该建议是一个为期五年的综合健康公平和应用研究暑期研究所（IHEAR）。 IHEAR培训计划的总体目标是建立综合能力和多样性， 医学研究队伍，以促进健康公平。为了实现这一目标，我们提出了一个教育计划， 为不同的学习者提供整合医学的教学，方法和应用培训 研究减少健康和医疗保健方面的社会差距。IHEAR计划将开发一个初步的 为熟练的，专门的综合医学研究人员创造一个早期的坡道。课程 将包括八个为期八周的密集培训八个博士前研究员从广泛的健康 专业博士课程（例如，针灸，医学，自然疗法，护理，整骨疗法，药学， 公共卫生）。IHEAR方案将包括五个组成部分：（1）社会卫生教学培训， 保健方面的差异以及补充和综合保健办法的作用不充分;（2） 基础研究技能（例如，提出研究问题，选择研究方法，解释 证据）;（3）伦理问题（例如，临床研究中的多样性和包容性障碍，文化问题 （4）专业职业发展;（5）指导，应用 研究项目。IHEAR将由Osher中心经验丰富的教师开发和实施， 整合医学在加州大学旧金山弗朗西斯科（UCSF），利用Osher中心的 建立了T32培训计划和UCSF更广泛的研究和培训基础设施。

Project Summary/Abstract This proposal is for a five-year Summer Institute on Integrative Health Equity and Applied Research (IHEAR). The overarching goal of the IHEAR training program is to build the capacity and diversity of the integrative medicine research workforce to advance health equity. Towards this goal, we propose an educational program that provides diverse learners with didactic, methodological, and applied training in integrative medicine research to reduce social disparities in health and healthcare. The IHEAR program will develop an initial pathway for skilled, dedicated integrative medicine researchers by creating an early on-ramp. The curriculum will include eight weeks of intensive training for eight predoctoral fellows recruited from a wide range of health professions doctoral programs (e.g., acupuncture, medicine, naturopathy, nursing, osteopathy, pharmacy, public health). The IHEAR program will include five components: (1) didactic training in social health and healthcare disparities and the under-developed role of complementary and integrative health approaches; (2) foundational research skills (e.g., formulating research questions, selecting research methods, interpreting evidence); (3) ethical issues (e.g., barriers to diversity and inclusion in clinical research, issues of cultural appropriation in integrative medicine); (4) professional career development; and (5) mentored, applied research projects. IHEAR will be developed and implemented by experienced faculty at the Osher Center for Integrative Medicine at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF), leveraging the Osher Center's established T32 training program and the broader research and training infrastructure of UCSF.
