Program Abstract The goal of this training program is to provide the skill-set necessary for translational surgeon- scientists focused on pediatric diseases. Only 3% of T32 programs in the United States are focused on training surgeon-scientists, and only 1 surgical research training program in pediatrics currently exists in Urology. Pediatric surgical diseases are unique because the vast majority result from congenital anomalies. Consequently, pediatric surgical disciplines require specialized training to be best equipped for a translational research career focused on children. This program will provide a 2- year postdoctoral fellowship in translational basic research for individuals in a surgery residency who are planning on a career as a pediatric surgeon. A total of 3 fellows in the program at one time will receive broad training in the fields of vascular diseases and vascular biology. Vascular anomalies affect 5% of the population and involve every anatomical location and organ system. Consequently, all pediatric surgical specialists manage these disorders. Because vascular biology is applicable to almost all pediatric diseases, graduates will be able to apply the skills learned to a broad range of pediatric conditions. The training program consists of 8 pediatric surgical departments and programs. The 13 program faculty are experts in pediatric surgical diseases, vascular anomalies, and/or vascular biology and include surgeon-scientists and basic scientists. The postdoctoral fellows will be based in one of the faculty’s laboratories and will have independent mentored research projects (70% effort), didactic training in translational research methodology (15% effort), participation in conferences and clinics (10% effort), and guidance by a Mentorship Committee to facilitate their transition to independent research careers in pediatric surgery (5% effort). The postdoctoral fellows will be in an outstanding environment to succeed, supported by an internationally-recognized Pediatric Medical and Research Institution, Vascular Anomalies Center, Vascular Biology Program, Lymphedema Program, and Departments of Cardiac Surgery, General Surgery, Neurosurgery, Orthopedic Surgery, and Plastic Surgery. The program faculty have a long history of collaboration and a proven track-record of successful research funding and mentoring. This unique training program will produce the next generation of pediatric surgeon-scientists with the skill-set necessary to improve the lives of children through innovative translational research.

节目摘要 该培训计划的目标是提供转化外科医生所需的技能- 科学家们专注于儿科疾病。美国只有3%的T32项目是重点关注的 培训外科医生科学家，目前只有 1 个儿科外科研究培训项目 存在于泌尿外科。小儿外科疾病是独特的，因为绝大多数是由 先天性异常。因此，小儿外科学科需要专门的培训 最适合专注于儿童的转化研究职业。该计划将提供 2- 每年为外科住院医师实习的个人提供转化基础研究博士后奖学金 正在计划成为一名小儿外科医生。该计划总共有 3 名研究员同时参加 接受血管疾病和血管生物学领域的广泛培训。血管异常 影响 5% 的人口，涉及每个解剖位置和器官系统。最后， 所有儿科外科专家都负责治疗这些疾病。因为血管生物学适用于 几乎所有儿科疾病，毕业生将能够将学到的技能应用于广泛的领域 儿科疾病。培训项目由8个小儿外科科室和项目组成。 13 名项目教员都是儿科外科疾病、血管异常和/或 血管生物学，包括外科医生科学家和基础科学家。博士后研究员将是 位于教师实验室之一，并将有独立指导的研究项目（70% 努力），转化研究方法论的教学培训（15％的努力），参与 会议和诊所（10％的努力），以及指导委员会的指导，以促进他们 过渡到小儿外科的独立研究职业（5% 的努力）。博士后研究员 将在良好的环境中取得成功，并得到国际认可的支持 儿科医疗和研究机构、血管异常中心、血管生物学项目、 淋巴水肿项目以及心脏外科、普通外科、神经外科、 骨科、整形外科。该项目的教师有着悠久的合作历史 以及成功的研究资助和指导的良好记录。这种独特的训练 该计划将培养具有必要技能的下一代儿科外科医生科学家 通过创新的转化研究改善儿童的生活。
