Core C: Training Core

核心C摘要 核心C的总体目标是促进下一代 神经学家，基础科学家和翻译科学家在一个环境中，基础科学家和 临床医生定期互动，以提高对肌营养不良症的认识。具体来说，每 一年核心C将支持两名医学生研究员，一名博士后 研究员，本科研究员。医学和博士后研究员将 由两个核心共同领导（博士坎贝尔和马修斯）和本科研究员指导 将由他们中的一人指导该中心的教育工作至关重要，因为 迫切需要基础科学家和临床医生谁可以合作开发，测试和 实施肌肉萎缩症治疗。通过建立医学生奖学金，我们 将培养对学术儿童神经学的兴趣（神经肌肉重点）。这全日制 奖学金将使每年两名医学生参加一系列MDSRC 活动，包括在诊所照顾肌肉萎缩症患者，评估患者 在马修斯博士的监督下参与项目2，解释肌肉活检 和史蒂文摩尔医生的接触以及接触临床试验博士后研究奖学金将 通过提供博士，医学博士或医学博士/博士学位，培养肌营养不良症基础研究的科学家 毕业后在坎贝尔博士的实验室进行了深入的研究。这段经历 将通过在临床环境中观察患者护理来补充， 理解和欣赏转化研究的临床方面。本科 研究奖学金旨在提供MDSRC的密集研究经验 该实验室将鼓励学生从事转化科学的职业。这 奖学金授予目前就读于爱荷华州大学的学生。这些 个人将与MDSRC实验室的博士后顾问密切合作。所有学员将 参加每月的威尔斯通神经肌肉会议，临床研究员和 教师介绍有趣的案例，讨论文学和科学实习生加入 讨论目前的Wellstone学员将积极参与家庭和患者 由核心A主办的会议，介绍他们的研究并与 患者和家属。基于网络的互动案例将神经肌肉训练扩展到 更广泛的社区。通过这些活动，核心C将加快教育的使命， MDSRC为临床科学家提供了一个充满活力的培训环境。

CORE C SUMMARY The overall goal of Core C is to foster the growth and development of the next generation of neurologists, and basic and translational scientists in an environment where basic scientists and clinicians interact regularly to advance knowledge about muscular dystrophy. Specifically, each year Core C will support training activities for two Medical Student Fellows, a Postdoctoral Fellow, and an Undergraduate Research Fellow. The medical and postdoctoral fellows will be mentored by both Core Co-Leads (Drs. Campbell and Mathews), and the undergraduate fellow will be mentored by one of them. The educational efforts of the Center are vital because there is an urgent need for basic scientists and clinicians who can partner to develop, test and implement muscular dystrophy therapies. By establishing the Medical Student Fellowship, we will foster interest in academic child neurology (with a neuromuscular focus). This full-time fellowship will enable two medical students per year to participate in a range of MDSRC activities including care of muscular dystrophy patients in clinic, evaluation of patients participating in Project 2 under the supervision of Dr. Mathews, interpretation of muscle biopsies with Dr. Steven Moore and exposure to clinical trials. The Postdoctoral Research Fellowship will train scientists in the basic research of muscular dystrophy, by providing a PhD, MD, or MD/PhD graduate with an intensive research experience in Dr. Campbell's laboratory. This experience will be complemented by observation of patient care in a clinical setting, enhancing the fellow's understanding and appreciation of the clinical side of translational research. The Undergraduate Research Fellowship is designed to provide an intensive research experience in an MDSRC laboratory that will encourage students to pursue careers in translational science. This fellowship is awarded to students who are currently enrolled at the University of Iowa. These individuals will work closely with a postdoctoral advisor in an MDSRC laboratory. All trainees will participate in the monthly Wellstone Neuromuscular Conference, where clinical fellows and faculty present interesting cases with discussion of literature and scientific trainees join in discussion. Current Wellstone trainees will actively participate in the Family and Patient Conference hosted by Core A by presenting their research and interacting one-on-one with patients and families. Web-based interactive cases will extend neuromuscular training to the wider community. Through these activities, Core C will accelerate the education mission of the MDSRC and provide a vibrant training environment for clinician scientists.
