Comprehensive Musculoskeletal Training Program

摘要 在综合肌肉骨骼训练计划的前三年，我们已经完全填补了所有 授予的培训名额。我们已经培养了六名博士前学生（一名联合学位MD/博士生）， 5名博士后研究员和6名暑期医学生实习生（包括接受3名暑期医学生） 2018年夏季会议的实习生）。目前，所有职位都已填补。我们在此续期申请中建议， 将每一组的实习生职位从三个增加到四个：博士前学生，博士后 研究员和暑期医学生实习生，额外的博士后职位保留一年 骨科住院医师的研究轮换。自上次提交报告以来， 已经发生，加强培训计划，使其更加多学科的受训者，并提供 基础、翻译和临床培训与研究之间的交叉交流机会更多。这些包括 建立了印第安纳州肌肉骨骼健康中心（ICMH）（有一名全职主任）， ICMH临床研究核心通过NIH P30赠款奖，并建议建立一个新的 肌肉骨骼博士课程。综合肌肉骨骼训练计划的目标是 (1)扩展和整合目前的肌肉骨骼研究和教学计划，在基础，临床， 工程科学;（2）培养博士前和博士后水平的年轻科学家进行研究 作为基础科学家，生物工程师，临床和翻译研究人员追求的事业， 解决方案，肌肉骨骼疾病;和（3）培训博士前和博士后学生/研究员，根据 国家博士后协会提出的六项核心能力。主要活动将包括 发展特定学科的知识基础，发展研究技能，并加强 沟通技巧、专业精神、领导和管理技能，以及负责人培训 研究的开展。该计划包括30名培训教师，分为四个主轴：内分泌学， 骨细胞生物学，肌肉骨骼癌，机械生物学和力学。每一个都有三个 此外，所有学员均须有来自多个培训班的导师。 培训计划描述包括受训人员的活动列表、对导师的要求、教学方法和培训计划。 和职业发展计划，以及为学员，导师和整体评估计划， 培训计划。

Abstract In the first three years of the Comprehensive Musculoskeletal Training Program, we have completely filled all the training slots awarded. We have trained six predoctoral students (one a combined degree MD/PhD student), five postdoctoral fellows, and six summer medical student interns (including acceptance of 3 summer medical interns for the 2018 summer session). Currently, all slots are filled. We propose in this renewal application to expand the number of trainee positons from three to four for each group: predoctoral students, postdoctoral fellows, and summer medical student interns, with the additional postdoctoral slot reserved for a one-year research rotation for a resident in orthopaedic surgery. Since the last submission, several new developments have occurred that strengthen the training program, making it more multi-disciplinary for trainees, and providing greater opportunities for cross talk between basic, translational, and clinical training and research. These include the establishment of the Indiana Center for Musculoskeletal Health (ICMH) (with a full-time Director), the creation of the ICMH Clinical Research Core through a NIH P30 grant award, and a proposal to establish a new Musculoskeletal PhD program. The goals of the Comprehensive Musculoskeletal Training Program are to (1) expand and integrate current musculoskeletal research and teaching programs in the basic, clinical, and engineering sciences; (2) train young scientists at both the predoctoral and postdoctoral levels for research careers as basic scientists, bioengineers, clinical and translational investigators pursuing the causes of, and solutions to, musculoskeletal disease; and (3) train both predoctoral and postdoctoral students/fellows, according to the six Core Competencies outlined by the National Postdoctoral Association. Key activities will include the development of a discipline-specific knowledge base, research skill development, and enhancement of communication skills, professionalism, leadership and management skills, and training in the Responsible Conduct of Research. The program includes 30 training faculty divided into four primary axes: Endocrinology, Bone Cell Biology, Musculoskeletal Cancer, and Mechanobiology and Mechanics. Each of these have three separate focus groups, and all trainees are required to have mentors from more than one of these training pods. The training program description includes a list of activities for the trainees, requirements for the mentors, didactic and career development programs, as well as assessment programs for the trainees, mentors, and the overall training program.
