Training in Renal, GI, Endocrine and Epithelial Biology

匹兹堡大学医学院短期医学生培养的目标 计划在肾脏，胃肠道，内分泌和上皮生物学是为了培养科学的兴趣 医学生的职业目标。我们为学生提供一个机会 与高素质的导师和榜样一起参与生物医学研究。我们的节目 支持医学生在第一次和第二次之间的夏季研究培训经验。 医学院二年级该计划旨在向学生介绍一个严格的 在基础科学或临床研究中进行科学探究的方法，重点是三个主要方面 研究领域：（1）肾脏和上皮细胞生物学，（2）消化和肝脏疾病，和（3） 内分泌学、新陈代谢和糖尿病。学员由执行委员会挑选， 学生撰写的项目建议的基础上，与教师开发和认可 的培训计划。教师既担任研究培训师，也担任导师。

The goal of the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine Short-Term Medical Student Training Program in Renal, GI, Endocrine and Epithelial Biology is to foster an interest in scientific investigation as a career objective for medical students. We provide students with an opportunity to participate in biomedical research with highly qualified mentors and role models. Our program supports a summer research training experience for medical students between the first and second year of medical school. This program is designed to introduce students to a rigorous approach to scientific inquiry in basic science or clinical investigation, with a focus on three major areas of research: (1) renal and epithelial cell biology, (2) digestive and hepatic disorders, and (3) endocrinology, metabolism and diabetes. Trainees are selected by an executive committee on the basis of student-authored project proposals developed with and endorsed by faculty members of the training program. Faculty members serve both as research trainers and as mentors.
