Summer Research Fellowship Program for Podiatric Medical Students

这项名为“足科医学生暑期研究奖学金计划”的建议， 为从事生物医学研究的足病医学博士前学生提供短期培训补助金。一个 据估计，美国有2900万人患有糖尿病，这是一种严重的终身疾病。脚 病理学是与糖尿病相关的最常见的并发症之一 糖尿病患者的一线医生。由于它是一个相对年轻的学科，足病学还没有 在大多数学校和培训机构开展制度化研究。随后，委员会注意到， 传统上，足病医学专业的学生在研究职业中的代表性不足，但提供了大量的 生物医学科学研究可以招募的可用人才库。尤其如此 在糖尿病领域。 夏季研究奖学金计划提供跨专业的研究接触在各种 生物医学科学，往往是第一次接触生物医学研究的许多第一年足病 医学院的学生该计划还提供了一个包容性的专业社区，学生 可以发展研究成功所需的技能和指导。该计划的目标是 寻求增加进入生物医学科学职业的足病医学学生人数 通过实现以下具体目标： 1.通过以下方式为每个足病学生提供科学研究的个人实践经验： 加入正在进行的研究导师或小组。 2.为基础科学、临床和转化合作研究提供环境， 迎合学生的个人兴趣。 3.为足病学生提供一个机会，在他们的学习过程中保持参与。 学术医学生涯和持续的支持网络。 4.为足病学生提供数据收集、数据分析、资助方面的教育培训 写作、口头报告、书面报告和计算机技能。 5.为足病学生提供机会，探索医学研究的职业选择， 通过与榜样、顾问和导师的互动，实现职业发展。 6.确定并培养一批有潜力在以下领域从事职业的优秀学员 生物医学研究 7.培养受训人员对科学家群体的归属感。 完成夏季研究计划后，足病医学生有机会 继续他们在提供的多个跨专业项目之一中的工作，包括DPM-PhD。 !

The proposal entitled “Summer Research Fellowship Program for Podiatric Medical Students” is a short-term training grant involving pre-doctoral podiatric medical students in biomedical research. An estimated 29 million people in the United States have diabetes, a serious, life-long condition. Foot pathology is one of the most common complications associated with diabetes and podiatrists are often the first line clinicians seen by diabetic patients. As it is a relatively young discipline, podiatry has not developed institutionalized research in most of its schools and training institutions. Subsequently, podiatric medical students are traditionally under-represented in research careers but provide a large pool of available talent that could be recruited in biomedical science research. This is especially true in the field of diabetes. The Summer Research Fellowship Program provides interprofessional research exposure in various biomedical sciences and is often the first exposure to biomedical research for many first year podiatric medical students. The program also provides an inclusive professional community where students can develop the skills and mentorship required for research success. The goal of the program is to seek an increase in the number of podiatric medical students entering careers in biomedical sciences through achieving the following specific aims: 1. Provide each podiatric student with individual hands-on experience in scientific research by joining an on-going research mentor or group. 2. Provide an environment for basic science, clinical, and translational collaborative research to cater to the individual interests of the students. 3. Provide podiatric students with an opportunity to maintain involvement over the course of their academic medical career and an ongoing support network. 4. Provide podiatric students with educational training in data collection, data analysis, grant writing, oral presentations, written reports, and computer skills. 5. Provide podiatric students with opportunities to explore career options in medical research and career development through interaction with role models, advisors, and mentors. 6. Identify and foster a cadre of exceptional trainees with the potential to pursue careers in biomedical research. 7. Foster among the trainees a sense of belonging to a community of scientists. After completion of the summer research program, podiatric medical student have opportunities to continue their work in one of several interprofessional programs offered including the DPM-PhD. !
