项目总结 扩大与肾脏相关的生物医学劳动力，应对日益扩大的 年肾脏疾病的患病率和受训人员、研究人员和从业人员的比例不成比例 肾病学和肾脏健康，我们开发了亚利桑那州的技术开发和临床教育 为学生提供肾脏健康课程(高级肾脏健康课程)。促进肾脏健康是一种教育-- 基于实际操作的研究、教育和临床经验，应用1)科学、医学和 工程教育；2)创新、创业精神和科学翻译培训；3)体验式 学习、指导和临床浸入式；以及4)基于需求的应用和实用翻译-所有目标都是 培养对肾脏健康和科学感兴趣的有积极性、训练有素和敬业的生物医学实习生 促进劳动力的发展，开发未来与健康相关的新疗法。该计划招募了 来自加州大学工程学院15个系的本科生 亚利桑那州(UArizona)，包括：生物医学工程、电气和计算机工程、机械 工程与化学工程。高级肾脏健康计划旨在为实习生提供体检 早期本科生学习肾脏解剖学的学习经验 和肾功能。核心结构获得临床经验，以灌输追求肾脏的动力- 相关的患者护理和/或转化性研究，并向已经建立的创新训练营迈进 这最终形成了一个跨学科的顶峰，其规模在10年内翻了一番，访问人数更多 450多名被俘虏的工程学学生。该计划利用了医疗和工程领域的新基础设施 教育以及旨在创新、技术开发和 拥有15名肾脏健康内科导航员和23名工程和科学导师的企业家精神 涵盖肾脏生理学、生物医学工程、光学科学和机器学习。结果是一个 连接肾脏药物、工程和产品开发以开发新管道的相关计划 以及影响职业决策和发展未来肾脏相关劳动力的上坡路。

PROJECT SUMMARY To expand the kidney-related biomedical workforce and counter the increasing disparity between the growing prevalence of renal disease and the disproportionate level of trainees, researchers and practitioners in nephrology and kidney health, we developed the Arizona Technology Development and Clinical Education Program for Students in Kidney Health (ADVANCE Kidney Health). ADVANCE Kidney Health is an education- based, hands-on research, education and clinical experience that applies pillars of 1) science, medical and engineering education; 2) training in innovation, entrepreneurialism and scientific translation; 3) experiential learning, mentorship and clinical immersion; and 4) needs-based application and practical translation – all aimed at producing motivated, trained and committed biomedical trainees interested in renal health and science to advance the workforce and develop the new health-related therapies of the future. The program recruits undergraduate students from across 15 departments within the College of Engineering at the University of Arizona (UArizona) that include: Biomedical Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Chemical Engineering. ADVANCE Kidney Health is structured to provide trainees a medical school experience for early-stage undergraduate learners geared to instill an understanding of renal anatomy and kidney function. The core structure accesses a clinical experience to instill a motivation to pursue kidney- related patient care and/or translational research and progresses to an already established innovation bootcamp that culminates in an interdisciplinary capstone that has doubled in size over 10 years and accesses by more than 450 captive engineering students. The program leverages new infrastructure in medical and engineering education along with transdisciplinary programs aimed at innovation, technology development and entrepreneurialism with 15 physician navigators in kidney health and 23 engineering and scientific mentors spanning renal physiology, biomedical engineering, optical sciences and machine learning. The result is an interrelated program that bridges renal medicine, engineering and product development to develop new pipelines and on-ramps to impact career decisions and grow the future kidney-related workforce.
