Cincinnati Children's Summer Medical Student Respiratory Research Fellowship

项目摘要 缺乏训练有素的研究型医生，他们准备开发新的 预防、诊断和治疗儿童呼吸道疾病的方法。有限的水井- 建立的研究人员进一步受到越来越少的年轻医生科学家的威胁， 选择专攻儿科呼吸学科。各级培训是一个重要的优先事项， 辛辛那提儿童医院已经建立了广泛的计划，培养医学博士，博士和 医学博士/博士研究员和教师成为独立的临床和基础科学研究人员。 辛辛那提儿童医院医学中心（CCHMC）的儿科肺科是独一无二的 定位于关注儿科呼吸系统疾病的职业的学生。肺研究在 CCHMC拥有非常强大和多样化的临床和基础科学研究项目， 该中心是美国少数几个拥有经认证的儿科睡眠奖学金的儿科项目之一 具有广泛的研究重点。 该提案将为12名医疗人员提供为期10周的夏季研究奖学金。 医学院第一年的学生。该计划有一个组织良好的选择方法， 从具有优秀学历的医学生中选拔学员。一个学院， 超过35名来自多个部门的医学博士，博士和医学博士/博士，在研究方面取得了成功 和指导。所有研究人员都在以NHLBI为重点的研究中获得了充足的资金 专注于儿科呼吸系统疾病领域。该计划中包括了追求 基础和临床研究项目，每周举行会议，指导负责任地开展 提供了肺和睡眠医学的研究和具体的临床和研究主题。 学生在夏季研讨会结束时向同行和导师介绍他们的项目。往届学员 高度评价该计划的研究教育收到和报告在追求职业的兴趣非常高 在暑假结束时做研究。过去的学员一直在出版成功 他们的研究成果在全国性会议上获奖。 我们在儿科肺部和睡眠医学领域的研究项目的优势相结合， 与热情的教师和组织良好的暑期课程提供了一个很好的机会， 在职业生涯的早期和关键阶段吸引医生实习生，并增加他们 想作为医生和科学家进一步从事研究。

PROJECT SUMMARY There is a shortage of well-trained research-oriented physicians who are prepared to develop new approaches to prevent, diagnose and treat childhood respiratory diseases. This limited pool of well- established investigators is further threatened by a decreasing number of young physician scientists who choose to specialize in pediatric respiratory disciplines. Training at all levels is an important priority at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital which has established extensive programs for developing MD, PHD and MD/PhD fellows and faculty into independent clinical and basic science investigators. The Pediatric Pulmonary Division at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center (CCHMC) is uniquely positioned to interest students in careers focused on pediatric respiratory disorders. Pulmonary research at CCHMC has very strong and diverse clinical and basic science research programs and the Sleep Disorder Center is one of the few pediatric programs in the United States that has a certified pediatric sleep fellowship program with an extensive research focus. This proposal will provide a 10 week summer research fellowship for 12 medical students following their first year of medical school. The program has a well-organized method of selection of trainees from a competitive pool of medical students with outstanding academic qualifications. A faculty of over 35 MDs, PhDs and MD/PhDs from multiple departments with a proven record of success in research and mentoring are available to the trainees. All investigators are well-funded in NHLBI-focused research areas focused on pediatric respiratory disorders. Included within the program are opportunities to pursue basic and clinical research projects with weekly meetings at which instruction in responsible conduct of research and specific clinical and research topics in pulmonary and sleep medicine are provided. Students present their projects to peers and mentors at the end of summer symposium. Past trainees rate the program highly on research education received and report a very high interest in pursuing careers in research at the end of the summer. Past trainees have been consistently successful in publishing manuscripts and winning awards for their research at national meetings. The strengths of our research programs in the areas of pediatric pulmonary and sleep medicine combined with an enthusiastic faculty and a well-organized summer program provides an excellent opportunity to attract physician trainees at early and critical stages in their careers and increase the likelihood they will want to further pursue research as physician- scientists.
