 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): To meet the healthcare challenges on which the NEI focuses, it is essential that we nurture and build the physician-scientist workforce, preparing medical students from all areas of the US to become tomorrow's researchers. Over the past three decades the University of Utah School of Medicine (UUSOM), which includes the Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences and the Moran Eye Center, has built a dynamic research community that addresses the full range of eye-related health issues. Faculty members' grant-funded research spans the continuum of T1-T4 translational science and is supported by numerous institutional programs. A large number of our medical students are interested in eye health, as evidenced by 29% regularly participating in monthly meetings of the medical student-run Ophthalmology Interest Group and 8% of the 2015 graduating class matching in Ophthalmology residency programs. In addition, faculty members have extensive experience in successfully mentoring trainees, helping to build the physician-scientist, and scientifically minded physician, workforce. Thus, the UUSOM is an ideal location to offer outstanding short-term research experiences for medical students. The goal and objectives of the new Medical Student Research Program in Eye Health and Disease (MSRP- EHD) are to: GOAL: Ignite in medical students a life-long interest in conducting or collaborating in research related to the eye, while also building their skills in creative and critical thinking. Objective 1 Engage 6 medical students/year in the exciting foundational, clinical and translational science discoveries taking place at the University of Utah. Trainees will participate in a mentored, 11-week summer research experience between their first and second years of medical school. Objective 2: Stimulate the development of trainees' creative and critical thinking skills through an innovative course that will be part of the summer experience. Objective 3: Encourage each trainee to discover the type of research he or she is most interested in pursuing as a physician. Fifteen faculty mentors have agreed to participate in the program. The PI/PD will be advised by an internal Steering Committee of NEI-funded investigators and SOM Curriculum Committee members. Multiple evaluation strategies will be used to provide formative feedback for program improvement as well as tracking students' career trajectories.

 描述（由适用提供）：为了应对NEI专注的医疗挑战，至关重要的是，我们必须护理和建立身体科学家的劳动力，从而为来自美国各个领域的医学生做好准备，以成为明天的研究人员。在过去的三十年中，犹他大学医学院（UUSOM）包括眼科和视觉科学系和莫兰眼中心，建立了一个充满活力的研究社区，该社区解决了各种与眼神有关的健康问题。教师资助的研究涵盖了T1-T4转化科学的连续性，并得到了许多机构计划的支持。我们的大量医学生对眼睛健康感兴趣，这证明了29％的定期参加医学学生经营的眼科兴趣小组的每月会议，而2015年在2015年毕业课程中，Ophthalmology Residence计划中的班级匹配。此外，教职员工在成功的心理培训方面具有丰富的经验，有助于建立身体科学和科学意识的身体劳动力。这是UUSOM是为医学生提供出色短期研究经验的理想场所。新的医学生研究计划（MSRP-EHD）的目标和目标是：目标：在医学生中点燃对与眼睛有关的研究的终身兴趣，同时还建立了他们在创造性和批判性思维方面的技能。目标1参与犹他大学的激动人心的基础，临床和翻译科学发现，参与6名医学生。学员将在医学院的第一年和第二年之间参加一个为期11周的夏季研究经验。目标2：通过创新的课程刺激学员创造性和批判性思维能力的发展，这将成为夏季体验的一部分。目标3：鼓励每个学员发现他或她最感兴趣的研究类型。 15名教师导师已同意参加该计划。 NEI资助的调查人员和SOM课程委员会成员内部指导委员会将为PI/PD提供建议。多种评估策略将用于提供形成性的反馈，以改进计划，并跟踪学生的职业发展轨迹。
