Professional Development Core

项目总结：专业发展核心 将专业发展教育纳入当前的博士前和博士后培训方案 需要从依赖于被动说教环境或顶级学习环境的过时策略转变为范式 从一位导师那里下来训练。芝加哥肾脏泌尿外科的专业发展核心 全市血液学研究、培训和职业发展网络(芝加哥大学) 将通过具有变革性的 专业发展计划，利用成人学习理论，强调积极参与 通过教职员工和同行领导的小组环境，为职业生涯部署体验式学习方法 发展训练。专业发展核心的首要目标是推动 受训人员的专业技能对于确保在KUH领域取得成功至关重要。战略以实现 实现核心目标包括在小组环境中主动学习；获得 团队科学、技术创新和创新方面的特定学科和跨学科知识和新技能 创业；个性化的职业规划；以及鼓励职业探索的量身定制的经历 一个跨学科的环境。精心挑选的核心活动形成了丰富的专业矩阵 与芝加哥库赫前沿基础和跨学科核心相对应的发展资源 能力。核心的具体目标是：1)使用积极的学习者模式建立专业技能 利用教员到学员和点对点的互动；2)提供核心和量身定制的教学 获取新知识和技能的方案，以提高学员在过渡时期的竞争力 独立调查员；3)加强职业探索和规划，优化培训后工作 安置、职业满意度、持续专业发展和对KUH领域的贡献；以及4) 培训教师导师采用导师最佳做法，并为受训者提供导师培训。这个 职业发展核心将由Aline Martin博士和Robert Liem博士共同领导，他们的集体 指导不同职业发展领域的学员的经验将很好地帮助他们 监督具体目标的实施、管理和评估。Martin博士和Liem博士将会 在专家的协助下，教授受训者撰写助学金的技巧，STEM教育，跨学科毕业生 培训和导师发展。评价和改进战略方针的持续循环 将确保所有机构的核心活动与总体愿景和使命保持一致 促进和补充了该网络和培训核心的目标。在协同中 与芝加哥CTSA资助的机构和NIGMS资助的博士后学院一起，专业人士 开发核心将提高学员的竞争力，支持成功的职业过渡，改进 在研究环境中留住受训人员，并最终提高KUH领域的研究影响力。

PROJECT SUMMARY: PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT CORE The incorporation of professional development education into current pre- and postdoctoral training programs requires a paradigm shift from outdated strategies that rely on passive didactic learning environments or top- down training from a single mentor. The Professional Development Core of the Chicago Kidney Urology Hematology network FOR city-Wide reseArch tRaining and career Development (Chicago KUH FORWARD) will augment cross-disciplinary mentorship and hands-on research experiences with a transformative professional development program that leverages adult learning theory, emphasizes active participation through faculty- and peer-led small group settings and deploys experiential learning approaches for career development training. The overarching goal of the Professional Development Core is to advance the professional skills of trainees essential for ensuring successful careers in the KUH fields. Strategies to accomplish the Core's objectives include active learning in small group settings; opportunities for acquisition of discipline-specific and interdisciplinary knowledge and new skills in team science, technology innovation and entrepreneurship; individualized career planning; and tailored experiences that encourage career exploration in a cross-disciplinary setting. The deliberately selected Core activities form a rich matrix of professional development resources that map to the Chicago KUH FORWARD basic and interdisciplinary core competencies. The Specific Aims of the Core are: 1) To build professional skills using an active learner model that leverages both faculty-to-trainee and peer-to-peer interactions; 2) To deliver both core and tailored didactic programs for the acquisition of new knowledge and skills to enhance trainee competitiveness in the transition to independent investigator; 3) To enhance career exploration and planning that optimizes post-training placement, career satisfaction, sustained professional development, and contribution to the KUH fields; and 4) To train faculty mentors to adopt mentoring best practices and to provide mentorship training to trainees. The Professional Development Core will be co-led by Drs. Aline Martin and Robert Liem, whose collective experiences in mentoring trainees across the spectrum of career development will serve them well in overseeing the implementation, management and evaluation of the Specific Aims. Drs. Martin and Liem will be assisted by experts in teaching grant writing skills to trainees, STEM education, interdisciplinary graduate training, and mentor development. Continuous cycles of evaluations and refinement of strategic approaches will ensure that Core activities are well integrated across all institutions, in line with overall vision and mission of Chicago KUH FORWARD and complement the goals of the Network and Training Cores. In synergizing with Chicagoland CTSA-funded institutions and the NIGMS-funded Postdoc Academy, the Professional Development Core will increase trainee competitiveness, support successful career transitions, improve retention of trainees in research settings and, ultimately, enhance research impact in the KUH fields.
