MSRP in Metabolism, Diabetes, Digestive and Kidney Diseases

这是医学生新陈代谢、糖尿病、消化和营养研究项目的竞争性更新。 犹他大学(UU)医学院的肾脏疾病(MSRP-MDDK)T35。满足医疗保健需求 NIDDK关注的挑战，我们培养和扩大医生-科学家队伍是至关重要的， 培养来自美国各地的医学生，让他们成为未来的内科科学家。MSRP- MDDK为在西面山区接受研究培训机会有限的学生提供机会 犹他大学(UU)、内华达大学雷诺分校(UNR)医学院和来自西部的学生 爱达荷州、蒙大拿州和怀俄明州的机构发展奖(IDEA)。 在过去的20年里，UU健康科学建立了一个充满活力的研究社区，以解决 全面的NIDDK健康相关问题，特别强调糖尿病和新陈代谢。教员 成员资助的研究跨越了T0-T4翻译科学的连续体，得到了无数人的支持 机构课程和教职员工在成功指导学员方面拥有丰富的经验。因此，UU 健康科学学院是为医科学生提供杰出短期研究经验的理想场所。 在NIDDK的资助下，UU的MSRP-MDDK于2015年启动。自2015年以来，58名医学生 完成了MSRP-MDDK计划。虽然许多MSRP-MDDK学员仍在完成他们的体检 培训方面，我们最初的一批学员已经开始在著名的研究中心进行研究生专业培训 密集的学术中心。该方案成功的其他指标包括：高参与率(96%)， 在学生研究研讨会上颁发的最佳海报，学生参与国家研究会议， 在同行评议的期刊上发表大量的摘要和手稿，并被我们的医学博士录取 程序。从导师的角度来看，我们的许多初级教员，以前被认为是新兴的导师， 因其卓越的学术和研究成就而被提升为全职导师。 UU MSRP-MDDK的目标和目标是：目标：激发终身从事研究的兴趣 新陈代谢、糖尿病、消化、血液或肾脏疾病，同时培养学生的创新能力 和批判性思维。目标1每年招收12名医学生学习基础科学和转化学 在密歇根大学的发现。目标2使学员获得与NIDDK相关的研究机会 横跨翻译研究领域(T0至T4)。目标3促进学员的发展 创造性和批判性思维能力。这些目标和目的是通过参与我们创新的 在医学院一年级和二年级学生之间为期10周的暑期研究计划。

This is a competitive renewal of the Medical Student Research Program in Metabolism, Diabetes, Digestive and Kidney Diseases (MSRP-MDDK) at the University of Utah’s (UU) School of Medicine T35. To meet the healthcare challenges on which NIDDK focuses, it is essential that we nurture and expand the physician-scientist workforce, preparing medical students from all areas of the US to become tomorrow’s physician-scientists. The MSRP- MDDK offers opportunities to students with limited access to research training in the mountain west from the Schools of Medicine at the Universities of Utah (UU), Nevada at Reno (UNR), and students from the western Institutional Development Award (IDeA) states of Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming. Over the past 2 decades, the UU Health Sciences has built a dynamic research community that addresses the full range of NIDDK health-related issues, with a particular emphasis on diabetes and metabolism. Faculty members’ grant-funded research spans the continuum of T0-T4 translational science, is supported by numerous institutional programs, and faculty have extensive experience in successfully mentoring trainees. Thus, the UU Health Sciences is an ideal location to offer outstanding short-term research experiences to medical students. With NIDDK funding, the MSRP-MDDK at the UU was launched in 2015. Since 2015, 58 medical students have completed the MSRP-MDDK program. While many MSRP-MDDK trainees are still completing their medical training, our initial cohort of trainees have started post-graduate subspecialty training at prestigious, research intensive, academic centers. Other indicators of this programs’ success include; a high participation rate (96%), best poster awarded at student research symposiums, student participation in national research conferences, numerous abstract and manuscript publications in peer reviewed journals, and matriculation into our MD/PhD program. From a mentoring perspective, many of our junior faculty, previously considered emerging mentors, have been promoted to full mentors based on their exceptional academic and research accomplishments. The goal and objectives of the UU MSRP-MDDK are: Goal: Ignite a life-long interest in conducting research in metabolism, diabetes, digestion, hematologic or kidney disease while also building students’ skills in creative and critical thinking. Objective 1 Engage 12 medical students/year in foundational and translational science discoveries taking place at the UU. Objective 2 Expose trainees to NIDDK-associated research opportunities spanning the translational research spectrum (T0 to T4). Objective 3 Stimulate the development of trainees’ creative and critical thinking skills. These goals and objectives are achieved through participation in our innovative 10-week summer research program between the students’ first and second years of medical school.
