Cincinnati Children's Summer Medical Student Respiratory Research Fellowship

项目总结 缺乏训练有素、以研究为导向的医生，他们准备开发新的 预防、诊断和治疗儿童呼吸系统疾病的方法。这个有限的水井池- 现有的研究人员进一步受到越来越少的年轻内科科学家的威胁 选择专攻儿科呼吸系统学科。各级培训是一项重要的优先事项 辛辛那提儿童医院建立了广泛的MD，PhD和 博士/博士研究员和教职员工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的儿科肺科是独一无二的 定位于学生对专注于儿科呼吸系统疾病的职业感兴趣。肺部研究： CCHMC有非常强大和多样化的临床和基础科学研究计划和睡眠障碍 中心是美国少数几个拥有儿科睡眠奖学金的儿科项目之一 具有广泛研究重点的计划。 这项提案将为12名医生提供为期10周的暑期研究奖学金。 医学院第一年毕业的学生。节目有一套组织严密的评选方法 来自具有优秀学历的竞争激烈的医学生池的受训人员。一个学院的院系 超过35名医学博士、博士和医学博士/博士，来自多个部门，有公认的研究成功记录 并为学员提供指导。所有研究人员都在NHLBI重点研究方面有充足的资金 重点关注儿科呼吸系统疾病的领域。该计划包括追求的机会 基础和临床研究项目，每周召开会议，指导负责任的行为 提供了肺部和睡眠医学的研究和特定的临床和研究课题。 在暑期结束的研讨会上，学生向同行和导师介绍他们的项目。过去的实习生 对该项目接受的研究教育给予很高的评价，并报告了对追求职业生涯的极高兴趣 在夏末的研究中。过去的实习生在出版方面一直都很成功 手稿和研究成果在全国会议上获奖。 我们在儿科肺科和睡眠医学领域的研究计划的优势 拥有热情的教职员工和组织良好的暑期课程为 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 想要以内科科学家的身份进一步研究。

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.
