Professional Development Core

摘要/概要 卫生与公众服务部（DHHS）承认，代表性不足的少数民族（URM） 教师得到的指导和培训比非少数民族同行少，这种差距有助于减少 在临床和研究生涯中取得成功。因此，迫切需要培训任职人数不足的合格人员， 少数民族（URM）临床医生/科学家、注册护士、药学博士、基础科学家、行为和其他卫生保健 专业人员，以填补对研究人员的需求，解决医疗服务不足的健康需求 西班牙裔和少数民族社区。西班牙裔专业发展核心（PDC）的目标 临床和转化研究联盟（Alliance for Clinical and Translational Research，Alliance）负责设计和协调培训、支持和 辅导计划，以解决更多的代表性不足的少数民族在临床和翻译的需要 研究和指导。PDC的目标是设计和协调基于能力的培训， 指导和支持计划，以最大限度地提高潜在CTR研究人员的生产力，并扩大 在普遍健康需求的重点领域开展合作减少贫困的广度和范围： 健康的生活方式，新出现的传染病和健康差距。我们假设提供这些 为具有不同背景的研究人员举办活动，并让社区领导人参加培训课程 将导致发展一个临界质量的URM研究人员解决健康问题，在医学 服务不足的社区。我们提出以下具体目标：1。解决目前研究中的差距 通过获得协调一致的卫生和医疗保健研究的能力，在URM服务机构 有效的教育和支持计划。以技术为基础的培训的创新使用将扩大 潜在学员的机会。为编写出版物和拟订提案提供的支助将 提高生产力。2.通过制定强大的指导计划来解决URM教师的指导差距 旨在促进关系，提高生产力和保留临床和翻译 研究人员该计划将侧重于两种模式：发展导师-学员团队和培训 潜在的个人导师。与公认的美国指导计划以及内部 宿舍计划将丰富导师的培训。3.通过培训科学家满足社区卫生需求， 社区合作伙伴共同开展多学科研究，以满足西班牙裔社区的需求。 专业发展核心和联盟的其他核心将合作实施一项 量身定制的培训课程。 PDC培训计划的影响是重要的，因为它将支持合格的开发人员， 研究人员和导师，了解，有诀窍，并有兴趣解决健康问题， 不断增长的美国西班牙裔和其他医疗服务不足的人口的需求。

Abstract/Summary The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) has recognized that underrepresented minority (URM) faculty receive less mentoring and training than their nonminority peers and that this gap contributes to less success in clinical and research careers. Thus, there is an urgent need to train qualified underrepresented minorities (URM) clinician/scientists, RNs, Pharm Ds, basic scientists, behavioral and other health care professionals, to fill in the demand for researchers that address the health needs of medically underserved Hispanic and minority communities. The goal of the Professional Development Core (PDC) of the Hispanic Alliance for Clinical and Translational Research (Alliance) is to design and coordinate trainings, support and mentoring programs to address the need for more underrepresented minorities in clinical and translational research and mentoring. The objective of the PDC is to design and coordinate competency based training, mentoring, and support programs to maximize the productivity of potential CTR researchers and expand the breadth and scope of CTR in focus areas of prevalent health needs: chronic disease prevention, achievement of healthy lifestyles, emerging infectious diseases and health disparities. We hypothesize that providing these activities to researchers with diverse backgrounds and incorporating community leaders to training sessions will result in the development of a critical mass of URMs researchers addressing health issues in medically underserved communities. We propose the following Specific Aims: 1. Address the current gap in research competencies on health and healthcare research in URM-serving institutions through access to a coordinated and effective educational and support program. Innovative use of technology-based training will expand opportunities for potential trainees. Support provided for writing publications and developing proposals will enhance productivity. 2. Address the mentoring gap for URM faculty by developing a robust mentoring program aimed at fostering relationships that will enhance the productivity and retention of clinical and translational researchers. The program will focus on two models: developing teams of mentors-mentees and training of potential individual mentors. Interactions with recognized USA based mentoring programs as well as an in- house program will enrich the mentors’ training. 3. Address community health needs by training scientists and community partners jointly to carry out multidisciplinary research responsive to the Hispanic community needs. The Professional Development Core and the other Alliance’s cores will collaborate in the implementation of a tailor-made training curriculum. The impact of the PDC training program is significant because it will support the development of qualified researchers and mentors that understand, have the know-how, and are interested in addressing the health needs of a growing US Hispanic and other medically underserved population.
