 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The fundamental mission of academic medicine is the acquisition and application of scientific knowledge to improve health care. In order for the medical enterprise to function effectively, it is critically important for the academic biomedical community to have physician-scientists who receive special training that integrates both a rigorous scientific education with state-of-the-art medical education. These individuals facilitate interactions between the clinic and lab that promote both basic investigation on disease mechanisms and translational research leading to clinical applications. Thus, they are positioned to be leaders in biomedical research and educational communities. The Ohio State University (OSU) Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP) was initially funded to achieve these lofty goals in 2011. In this renewal application, we describe the outstanding MD-PhD training program we have developed, which provides rigor, depth, and breadth of both scientific and medical education in a way that facilitates the integration of both sets of training to prepare these dedicated and driven students for careers as successful physician-scientists. Over the preceding grant period, the OSU MSTP has served as a partnership program linking medical school curriculum with three integrated core graduate programs during a time of tremendous curricular evolution. By working closely with medical school and graduate school leadership, we have used new approaches in both areas to develop a cutting-edge curriculum joining foundational knowledge with in-depth scientific inquiry in a wide variety of areas. Medical school coursework is completed using an MSTP-specific modification of OSU's Lead. Serve. Inspire (LSI) curriculum, a competency-based, efficient approach which eschews large lectures in favor of self-directed learning, high-yield student-faculty contact hours, and early, meaningful, patient contact. PhD courses begin in the second year of the program. The prior grant allowed students to earn their degrees in the Biomedical Sciences Graduate Program (BGSP), Neuroscience Graduate Studies Program (NGSP), or Biomedical Engineering (BME). In this proposal, we make good on our plan to expand PhD availability across the University to carefully vetted affiliate programs, leveraging our campus strength in non-traditional, but highly relevant graduate programs. Because of our curricular integration and careful oversight by MSTP Leadership, students complete their studies in a time-efficient manner, typically 8 years. Our innovative MD-PhD program has attracted interest from an outstanding pool of applicants that has doubled in size over the past 5 years concurrent with a doubling in size of our matriculating class from 5 to 10 students per year. Herein we request funds to double our NIH-supported training slots in graded fashion to match this growth. Renewal: students, developing future leaders who will enable the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center to achieve its stated mission: To improve people's lives through innovation in research, education and patient care.

 描述(由申请者提供)：学术医学的根本使命是获取和应用科学知识来改善医疗保健。为了让医疗企业有效地运作，对学术生物医学界来说，至关重要的是，有接受过严格的科学教育和最先进的医学教育相结合的特殊培训的医生-科学家。这些人帮助 临床和实验室之间的互动，促进对疾病机制的基础研究和导致临床应用的转化性研究。因此，他们被定位为生物医学研究和教育社区的领导者。俄亥俄州立大学(OSU)医学科学家培训计划(MSTP)最初是在2011年为实现这些崇高目标而资助的。在这份续订申请中，我们描述了我们开发的出色的MD-PhD培训计划，该计划提供严谨、深度和广度的科学和医学教育，促进了两套培训的整合，以准备 这些敬业和有动力的学生将成为成功的内科科学家。在之前的授权期内，OSU MSTP一直是一个合作项目，在课程巨大演变的时期，将医学院课程与三个综合核心研究生课程联系起来。通过与医学院和研究生院领导层的密切合作，我们在这两个领域使用了新的方法来开发一门尖端课程，将基础知识与广泛领域的深入科学探索结合在一起。医学院的课程工作是使用MSTP对OSU的Lead进行的特定修改完成的。发球。激励(LSI)课程，这是一种基于能力的高效方法，它避免大型讲座，转而支持自我指导学习、高效的师生联系时间以及早期、有意义、耐心的学习 联系。博士课程在该项目的第二年开始。之前的拨款允许学生获得生物医学研究生项目(BGSP)、神经科学研究生项目(NGSP)或生物医学工程(BME)的学位。在这份提案中，我们实现了我们的计划，即将博士学位在整个大学范围内扩大到经过仔细审查的附属项目，利用我们在非传统但高度相关的研究生项目上的校园优势。由于我们的课程整合和MSTP领导层的仔细监督，学生们以节省时间的方式完成学业，通常是8年。我们创新的MD-PhD项目吸引了一批优秀的申请者，他们的规模在过去5年中翻了一番，同时我们的入学班级规模也翻了一番，从每年5名学生增加到10名学生。在此，我们要求以分级方式将NIH支持的培训名额增加一倍，以适应这一增长。 更新：学生，培养未来的领导者，他们将使俄亥俄州立大学韦克斯纳医学中心实现其宣称的使命：通过研究、教育和患者护理方面的创新来改善人们的生活。
