Substance Use Disorder Research Training for Medical Students

描述（由申请人提供）：在未来几十年内，美国公民中患有物质使用障碍或物质使用导致其他健康障碍的人数预计将继续居高不下。需要制定方案，为受训人员提供进行有助于预防和治疗药物使用障碍的研究的技能。医生科学家为物质使用研究带来了独特的视角，是该领域未来进步的关键组成部分。该计划将侧重于招募和培训医学生，为他们作为物质使用研究人员的职业生涯做好准备。 该计划包括核心和个性化的课程组成部分。核心课程组成部分包括关于物质使用和疾病的研讨会，一个正在进行的工作与教师和学员参与的研讨会，以及一个与负责任的研究行为有关的研讨会。个性化的课程组成部分包括课堂作业和直接项目经验，包括传播，由经验丰富的物质使用研究人员指导。包括短期强化和纵向培训部分;学生将作为一年级医学生进入该计划，并在医学院的所有4年中参与该计划。每年将招收两名新学生，在任何一个时间在该计划总共四名学生。 我们将对该计划进行持续评估，包括学生反馈和结果评估。这将包括短期（例如学生满意度），中期（早期出版和态度变化）和长期（长期出版率和获得研究赠款的成功）结果。一个高级咨询委员会将为该计划提供监督，并确保使用结果数据进行该计划的持续质量改进。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The number of US citizens with substance use disorders or where substance use contributes to other health disorders is expected to continue to be high over the next several decades. Programs are needed to provide trainees with the skills to conduct research that helps prevent and treat substance use disorders. Physician scientists bring a unique perspective to substance use research and are a critical component of future advances in this area. This program will focus on recruiting and training medical students, preparing them for careers as substance use researchers. The program includes both core and individualized curricular components. Core curricular components include a seminar on substance use and disease, an ongoing work-in-progress seminar with both faculty and trainee involvement, and a seminar related to the Responsible Conduct of Research. The individualized curricular components include both class work and direct project experience, including dissemination, mentored by an experienced substance use researcher. Both short-term intensive and longitudinal training components are included; students will enter the program as first-year medical students and be involved in the program over all 4 years of medical school. Two new students per year will be recruited for a total of four students in the program at any one time. There will be ongoing evaluation of the program including both student feedback and outcome assessment. This will include short (e.g student satisfaction), intermediate (early publication and attitude changes), and long-term (long-term publication rates and success at receiving research grants) outcomes. A Senior Advisory Board will provide oversight for the program and ensure use of the outcome data for ongoing quality improvement of the program.
