Postdoctoral Research Training in Surgical Oncology

描述(由申请者提供)：该计划的总体目标是培训外科肿瘤学和外科亚专业的临床医生，以发展基础科学和翻译研究方面的技能和专业知识。罗斯威尔公园癌症研究所(RPCI)的外科学科已经批准了普通外科肿瘤学、妇科、头颈部、神经肿瘤学、胸科和泌尿科的临床培训计划。所有这些方案都培养了一批目前在学术岗位上的研究员。拟议的实验室研究计划将加强这些努力，并为这些研究员提供必要的培训，以发展他们在外科肿瘤学和上述次级专业的学术发展所需的研究专门技能。从申请者库中挑选出来的外科肿瘤学实习生将接受为期12个月的临床培训，并有24个月的时间用于研究培训。妇科计划是一个为期四年的计划，需要24个月的全职实验室研究和24个月的临床培训，这是成为妇科肿瘤学委员会认证的必要条件。所有受训人员将从五个科学研究领域中选择一个：1)癌症遗传学；2)癌症预防和人口科学；3)细胞应激生物学；4)药理学和治疗学；5)肿瘤免疫学。在为期两年的实验室研究中，受训者将在这些领域中选定的教师的指导下工作。根据培训年轻调查人员的丰富经验，挑选了来自不同学科的教官。罗斯韦尔公园的一个咨询委员会和一个外部咨询委员会将监测受训人员的进展情况以及导师的活动和总体方案方向，包括评估少数族裔的招募情况。受训人员将被要求参加系列讲座：核心肿瘤学I和II，其中包括翻译科学主题、研究伦理原则、流行病学、生物统计学、卫生政策和专业发展。这笔培训基金的目标是提供教育、实验室研究培训和专业知识，以发展强大的基础和转化性科学研究技能，使受训人员能够在这些外科肿瘤学和外科次级专业担任富有成效的学术职位。 公共卫生相关性：该计划的总体目标是培训普通外科肿瘤学和外科亚专业(妇科、头颈、神经肿瘤学、胸科和泌尿科)的临床医生，以培养基础科学和翻译研究方面的技能和专业知识，使受训人员能够担任富有成效的学术职位。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overall objective of the program is to train clinicians from surgical oncology and surgical subspecialties to develop skills and expertise in basic science and translational research. The surgery disciplines at Roswell Park Cancer Institute (RPCI) have approved clinical training programs in general surgical oncology, gynecology, head and neck, neuro-oncology, thoracic and urology. All of the programs have trained a number of fellows that are currently in academic positions. The proposed laboratory research program will enhance these efforts and provide the training necessary for these fellows to develop their research expertise skills central to academic development in surgical oncology as well as the subspecialties as mentioned above. Surgical Oncology trainees selected from the applicant pool will receive their clinical training during a 12 month period and have 24 months devoted to their research training. The Gynecology Program is a four year program requiring 24 months of full time laboratory research and 24 months of clinical training which is a requirement to become Board Certified in Gynecological Oncology. All trainees will choose from one of five areas of scientific study: 1) cancer genetics; 2) cancer prevention and population sciences; 3) cell stress biology; 4) pharmacology and therapeutics and 5) tumor immunology. During the two-years of laboratory research, trainees will work under the mentorship of selected faculty from one of these areas. Preceptors from a variety of disciplines have been selected based on extensive experience in training young investigators. An Advisory Committee at Roswell Park as well as an External Advisory Board will monitor the trainee's progress as well as the preceptor's activities and the overall program direction including assessment of minority recruitment. Trainees will be required to attend a lecture series; Core Oncology I and II which includes translational science topics, ethical principles of research, epidemiology, biostatistics, health policy and professional development. The goal of this training grant is to provide education, laboratory research training and expertise toward the development of strong basic and translational scientific research skills that will enable trainees to assume productive academic positions in these respective surgical oncology and surgical subspecialties. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The overall objective of the program is to train clinicians from general surgical oncology and surgical subspecialties (gynecology, head and neck, neuro-oncology, thoracic and urology) to develop skills and expertise in basic science and translational research that will enable trainees to assume productive academic positions.
