Short-term Research Training for Veterinary Students in Wisconsin

项目摘要 该计划的目的是为兽医学生提供为期12周的指导研究体验，网址为 威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校。传统的兽医课程缺乏正规的操作训练。 研究：因此，今年夏天的研究曝光体验是曝光DVM的必要方式 让学生了解一流研究机构的研究过程，并鼓励他们考虑 以研究为主的职业。这项计划对我们招募未来兽医的能力是不可或缺的 对我们威斯康星大学的DVM专业项目有研究兴趣的医学生- 麦迪逊。这也是我们成功增加少数族裔兽医学生数量的根本原因 开展研究培训，向兽医学生介绍研究职业，并揭露 让兽医学生参与与研究道德、负责任的研究行为相关的重要讨论 在研究领域取得成功所需的技能和工具。这项计划的总体目标是 介绍兽医专业学生从事研究工作。他们获得了如何识别 对动物和/或人类的健康和福利具有重要意义的问题，学习如何建立一个假说 为了测试重点问题，建立一个计划，以确定和验证适当的技术，以追求、分析和 报告数据。学生们参加工作坊，以促进优秀的口头和 书面形式。学员参加定期安排的实验室会议和每周设计的研讨会 特别是在12周的夏季时间表内实现这些目标。受训人员应提交以下结果 他们在夏季兽医研究学者研讨会(通常是NIH-Boehringer Inelheim)上的研究 每年8月举行的兽医学者计划研讨会)或在 威斯康星大学兽医学院。威斯康星大学和该学院 特别是兽医，提供了一个理想的环境来支持短期研究培训 兽医专业的学生。拟议的计划旨在与额外的研究生研究培训相结合。 兽医学院内的计划，为兽医学生提供持续的支持 他们受到启发，开始接受高级研究培训。

Project Summary The purpose of this program is to provide a 12-week mentored research experience for veterinary students at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The traditional veterinary curriculum lacks formal training in performance of research: therefore, this summer research exposure experience is an essential way to expose DVM students to the research process within a tier-one research institution and encourage them to consider research-oriented careers. This program has been integral to our ability to recruit prospective veterinary medical students with research interests to our DVM professional program at the University of Wisconsin- Madison. It has also been fundamental to our success in increasing the number of minority veterinary students pursuing research training, informing veterinary medical students of careers in research, and exposing veterinary students to important discussions related to research ethics, responsible conduct of research, and the skills and tools required for successful careers in research. The over-arching objective of this program is to introduce veterinary medical students to research. They gain a working knowledge of how to identify a problem of significance to the health and welfare of animals and/or humans, learn how to develop a hypothesis to test focused questions, build a plan to identify and validate appropriate techniques to pursue, analyze and report data. The students undergo workshops to promote excellent science communication in both oral and written formats. Trainees participate in regularly scheduled laboratory meetings and weekly seminars designed specifically for these goals within the 12-week summer timeline. Trainees are expected to present the results of their research at the summer veterinary research scholars symposium (typically the NIH-Boehringer Ingelheim Veterinary Scholars Program Symposium held annually in August) or at seminars or symposiums held at the University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary Medicine. The University of Wisconsin in general, and the School of Veterinary Medicine in particular, provides an ideal environment to support short-term research training for veterinary students. The proposed program is designed to integrate with additional graduate research training programs within the School of Veterinary Medicine to provide a continuum of support for veterinary students that are inspired to pursue advanced research training.
