Cornell University Combined DVM-PhD Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP)

康奈尔大学兽医学院(CVM)的这项MSTP的使命是：(I)创建一个多样化的 和包容的兽医临床医生和科学家社区，支持和指导DVM-PHD组合 学位(CD)受训者沿着他们的个人身份，临床学科和研究领域的轴心； (2)提供临床兽医和生物医学研究方面的综合培训 受训人员以严谨的临床医生-科学家的最高标准工作；(Iii)开发生物医学 展现创造力、好奇心、同情心和服务精神的科学领袖；以及(Iv)培养以下技能 通过体验式学习，在广泛的兽医临床科学家研究生涯中取得成功。 为了实现这一使命，我们制定了灵活和充满活力的裁谈会培训计划，从战略上和 将康奈尔大学兽医博士(DVM)课程与研究生(博士)课程进行独特的配对 生物医学和生物科学课程(BBS)。目前康奈尔大学的CD计划有很强的 自2002年成立以来不断取得成功的记录。在我们24名CD毕业生中，约有71% 从事研究工作(33%在学术界，17%在政府，21%在工业)。传入CD 学生们将在实验室轮换后，从40名培训师中选择他们的博士导师 (包括4名附属培训师)代表8个研究专业，平均收入为900,000美元 研究资助。康奈尔大学致力于为所有CD学生，包括MSTP实习生提供完整的 在CD节目期间为所有年份提供财政支持(学费、津贴和医疗保险)。这个 康奈尔大学对CD学生的培训是灵活的。它通常从DVM课程的1.5年开始， 然后转到3年或4年的长期博士学位，最后回到剩下的2.5年的DVM 训练。在目前的15名CD学员中，包括2名新录取的学员，6名(40%)持有 著名的博士前奖学金，包括5名NIH F30。我们MSTP的主要目标是：(1) 招收和留住学生，壮大多样化的CD学生队伍；(2)发展生物医学科学 具有临床医生-科学家所需的主要能力领域即学科领域技能的领导者 结合临床、技术、操作、专业和自我发展技能的知识；(3) 优化DVM和博士培训的整合，并通过时间与学位的结合 DVM和博士培训、DVM课程期间的研究和临床培训的混合 博士课程；以及(4)扩大学术和职业发展机会 超越学术，提高沟通、团队科学和创业的技能。我们的 首要目标是培养一批训练有素的兽医临床医生-科学家 拥有纪律知识和技能，这将使他们为领导角色做好独特的准备 生物医学研究，在个人和人群层面上促进人类健康。

The mission of this MSTP at Cornell’s College of Veterinary Medicine (CVM) is (i) to create a diverse and inclusive veterinary clinician and scientist community to support and mentor Combined DVM-PhD Degree (CD) trainees along the axes of their personal identity, clinical discipline, and research domain; (ii) to provide integrated training in clinical veterinary medicine and biomedical research that prepares trainees to perform at the highest standards as rigorous clinician-scientists; (iii) to develop biomedical science leaders exhibiting creativity, curiosity, compassion, and service; and (iv) to develop skills for success in a broad range of veterinary clinician-scientist research careers through experiential learning. Towards this mission, we have established a flexible and vibrant CD training plan that strategically and uniquely pairs Cornell’s Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) curriculum with the graduate (PhD) program in Biomedical and Biological Sciences (BBS). The current Cornell CD program has a strong track record of ongoing success since its creation in 2002. Approximately 71% of our 24 CD graduates are in research careers (33% in academia, 17% in government, and 21% in industry). Incoming CD students will choose their PhD mentor, after their laboratory rotations, from a pool of 40 trainers (including 4 affiliate trainers) representing 8 research specialties with an average of $900,000 of research grant funding. Cornell is committed to providing all CD students, including MSTP trainees, full financial support (tuition, stipend, and health insurance) for all years during their CD programming. The training of CD students at Cornell is flexible. It typically starts with 1.5 years in the DVM curriculum, then switching to a 3- or 4-year long Ph.D., and finally returning to the remaining 2.5 years of DVM training. Of the current cohort of 15 CD students, including 2 newly admitted trainees, 6 (40%) hold prestigious predoctoral fellowships, including 5 NIH F30s. Key objectives for our MSTP are to: (1) Recruit and retain students, and grow a diverse CD student cohort; (2) Develop biomedical science leaders with skills in major competency domains required for clinician-scientists, namely disciplinary knowledge combined with clinical, technical, operational, professional, and self-development skills; (3) Optimize DVM and PhD training integration and the combined time-to-degree through the temporal intermingling of DVM and PhD training, research during the DVM curriculum, and clinical training during the PhD curriculum; and (4) Expand opportunities for career development, both in academia and beyond academia, and enhance skills in communication, team-science, and entrepreneurship. Our overarching objective is to develop a diverse pool of well-trained veterinary clinician-scientists who have the disciplinary knowledge and skills that will uniquely prepare them for leadership roles in biomedical research to advance human health at the individual and population levels.
