Reproductive Endocrinology And Infertility Clinical Training Program

NICHD内生殖内分泌学和不孕症培训计划由美国妇产科委员会认可，赞助生殖内分泌学和不孕症的三年临床奖学金。该项目始于1978年，自那时以来，已培训了60多名生殖内分泌学医生。在完成严格的科学、临床和外科课程后，研究员可以向美国妇产科委员会申请生殖内分泌学次级专业的认证。该项目的毕业生已经成为学术、政府和军事机构的助理、副教授和终身教授以及系主任。 该计划的研究员轮流参加由NICHD支持的内科和儿科内分泌学以及医学遗传学的院内研究生医学项目的临床服务。临床培训很扎实。因此，在NIH独特的环境中，研究员参与对NIH生殖内分泌教学服务中罕见和具有挑战性的内分泌条件的评估和管理。临床和手术轮换在沃尔特里德陆军医疗中心和Shady Grove生育中心进行。研究是非常重要的。该计划的实习生必须完成一个论文项目，并可以在学院内部研究计划的任何研究实验室中进行选择。为了完成一个研究项目，研究员被提供20个月的受保护的研究时间。该课程包括两门大学研究生课程--一门是生物统计学，另一门是生殖。在过去的一年里，教职员工发表了70篇同行评审的文章。在过去的五年里，该项目的毕业生平均发表了五篇与培训项目相关的同行评议手稿，几名学员在研究方面的卓越表现获得了国家认可。

The Intramural NICHD Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility Training Program, accredited by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology, sponsors three-year clinical fellowships in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility. The program started in 1978 and has, since then, trained over 60 physicians in reproductive endocrinology. Upon completion of the rigorous scientific, clinical, and surgical curriculum, fellows may apply to the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology for certification in the Subspecialty of Reproductive Endocrinology. Program graduates have become assistant, associate, and tenured professors and departmental chairs at academic, government, and military institutions. Fellows in the program rotate on clinical services of NICHD-supported intramural graduate medical programs in Medical and Pediatric Endocrinology as well as in Medical Genetics. The clinical training is robust. Thus, within the unique environment of the NIH, fellows participate in evaluation and management of rare and challenging endocrine conditions on the NIH Reproductive Endocrine Teaching Service. Clinical and surgical rotations take place at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center and the Shady Grove Fertility Center. Research is strongly emphasized. Trainees in the program must complete a thesis project and may choose among any research laboratory in the lnstitute's intramural research program. To complete a research project, fellows are provided 20 months of protected research time. The curriculum includes two university-based graduate courses-one in biostatistics and the second in reproduction. In the past year, faculty and fellows published 70 peer-reviewed articles. Over the past five years, graduates of the program published an average of five peer-reviewed manuscripts associated with the training program, and several trainees received national recognition for excellence in research.
