Research Training in Otolaryngology

我们建议继续我们的研究培训计划，为居民在基础科学有关， 查佩尔山的北卡罗来纳州大学耳鼻喉科/头颈外科。培训 该计划包括两个轨道。第一个轨道是在耳鼻喉科计划的居民。一位居民 在每一个传入类接受2连续保护年的研究培训，在该部门的 研究实验室，从他们的外科实习年后开始，为学术生涯做准备 耳鼻喉科医生和研究人员。第二个轨道是每年一名非常驻博士后研究员， 他们将被任命接受连续两年的培训。培训计划的所有级别都是 旨在为耳鼻喉科的受训者提供基础和临床的交叉受精 科学家培训的教学内容包括为期一年的课程，涵盖各种主题，包括 实验设计、研究伦理、出版和授权，旨在确保生产 杰出的研究人员。通过每月的研究会议和学员培训来监测培训进度。 介绍。这一培训计划也扩展到定期非研究轨道居民，医疗 系内各实验室的在校生、研究生、博士后。的 培训教师包括耳鼻咽喉/头颈部的基础和临床教师 在查佩尔山的北卡罗来纳州大学外科，并从其他部门挑选教员 其研究兴趣与耳鼻喉科/头颈外科交叉。研究领域包括 听觉神经生物学，人工耳蜗，听觉感知，癌症机制，头颈癌 流行病学以及鼻窦和气道功能。一个具有与以下方面有关的专门知识的外部咨询委员会： 该计划所代表的研究培训轨道提供了有关整个计划的指导。一个 内部咨询委员会对培训计划进行额外监督，并帮助指导受训人员 选择.长期目标是培养医学领域的学术临床医生和基础研究人员。 耳鼻喉科/头颈外科具有卓越的研究资质。

We propose to continue our program of research training for residents in the basic sciences related to Otolaryngology/Head and Neck Surgery at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The training program consists of two tracks. The first track is for residents in the Otolaryngology program. One resident in each incoming class receives 2 contiguous protected years of research training in the Department’s research laboratories, starting after their surgical internship year, in preparation for careers as academic Otolaryngologists and researchers. The second track is for one non-resident postdoctoral fellow per year, who will be appointed to receive 2 contiguous years of training. All levels of the training program are designed to provide cross-fertilization between the trainees in Otolaryngology with basic and clinical scientists. Didactic elements of the training include a year-long course that covers diverse topics including experimental design, research ethics, publication and grantsmanship, is designed to ensure the production of outstanding researchers. Training progress is monitored with monthly research meetings and trainee presentations. This training program is also extended to the regular non-research track residents, medical students, graduate students, and postdoctoral trainees in the labs affiliated with the department. The training faculty includes basic and clinical faculty of the Department of Otolaryngology/Head and Neck Surgery at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and selected faculty from other departments whose research interests intersect with Otolaryngology/Head and Neck Surgery. Research areas include auditory neurobiology, cochlear implants, auditory perception, cancer mechanisms, head and neck cancer epidemiology, and sinus and airway function. An External Advisory Committee with expertise related to the research training tracks represented by the program provides guidance regarding the overall program. An Internal Advisory Committee provides additional oversight of the training program and helps guide trainee selection. The long-term goal is to produce academic clinicians and basic researchers in the field of Otolaryngology/Head and Neck Surgery with exceptional research credentials.
