Training Program in Adult and Pediatric Rheumatology

描述（由申请人提供）：T32 支持的免疫学和风湿病学博士后研究员将接受为期两年的临床免疫学转化研究或临床调查培训。 T32 支持的申请人将是医学博士、博士。或医学博士/博士学位持有者。博士后奖学金的候选人将由两个风湿病学部门的代表组成的博士后委员会进行审查和选拔。医学博士风湿病学博士后研究金的临床年数（不在 T32 资助范围内）主要包括门诊就诊以及住院咨询。临床培训结束后，学员将选择两个研究方向之一进行 T32 培训： (i.) 临床免疫学转化研究方向（轨道 1）； (ii.) 临床研究（轨道 2）。第 1 轨的培训将面向那些有兴趣从事临床免疫学转化研究的研究员，并将补充所需和推荐的课程。第二轨的为期两年的培训计划可以获得理学硕士学位，由卫生研究和政策部管理。我们相信，这种正式培训对于从事临床研究职业的学员来说非常重要，可以为临床试验设计、生物伦理学、数据分析和临床研究中其他重要问题的基础知识奠定基础。对于这两个方向的所有学员，都需要参加每周的风湿病讲座以及一系列关于负责任的研究行为的讲座。博士后学员在培训期间应参加每周的免疫学大查房、期刊俱乐部会议、每周的免疫学研讨会系列以及年度 T32 和免疫学静修会。这将为风湿病学研究员和参与斯坦福大学研究工作的许多其他免疫学研究员和学生之间提供互动。在 T32 支持的年份，MD 博士后研究员每周将参加一到两个半天的临床活动，并定期参加由其导师决定的研究会议。我们将利用斯坦福大学丰富的环境，为对免疫学、蛋白质组学、基因组学、临床试验和结果感兴趣的学员提供许多额外的机会。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): T32-supported Immunology and Rheumatology Postdoctoral Fellows will undertake two years of training in either translational research in clinical immunology or in clinical investigation. Applicants for T32 support will be M.D., Ph.D. or M.D./Ph.D. degree holders. Candidates for postdoctoral fellowships will be reviewed and selected by a Postdoctoral Committee composed of representatives of the two Rheumatology Divisions. The clinical years of postdoctoral fellowship in rheumatology for MDs, not covered by T32 funding will predominantly consist of attendance at outpatient clinics, as well as inpatient consulting. Following clinical training, trainees will select one of two Research Tracks for their T32 training: (i.) The Clinical Immunology Translational Research Track (Track 1); or (ii.) The Clinical Investigation (Track 2). The training in Track 1 will be available for those fellows interested in pursuing translational research in clinical immunology and will be supplemented with required and recommended coursework. A two-year training program in Track 2 can lead to a Master's of Science Degree, administered through the Department of Health Research and Policy. It is our belief that such formal training is important for trainees who pursue a career in clinical research, to provide a foundation in the fundamentals of clinical trial design, bioethics, data analysis, and other important issues in clinical research. For all trainees in both Tracks, attendance will be required at weekly lectures in rheumatic diseases, as well as a series of lectures on Responsible Conduct of Research. Postdoctoral trainees are expected to attend weekly Immunology Grand Rounds, Journal Club meetings, the weekly Immunology Seminar Series, and the Annual T32 and Immunology Retreats during all years of training. This will provide interactions between the rheumatology fellows and the many other immunology fellows and students involved in research endeavors at Stanford. In the T32-supported years, MD postdoctoral fellows will attend clinic one or two half-days per week, as well as regular research meetings determined by their individual preceptors. We will leverage Stanford's rich environment to provide many additional opportunities for trainees interested in immunology, proteomics, genomics, clinical trials, and outcomes.
