DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application requests continued support of the Medical Scientist Training Program at the Medical University of South Carolina. The major goal is to train the next generation of physician-scientists who will choose a career that will conduct research that integrates both the basic and clinical sciences to improve human health and treat diseases. The program was originally founded in 1980 and has steadily grown to its current size of 56 students, with 37% females. Career outcomes of our 100 graduates to date are: 3 professors, all holding endowed chairs, 7 associate professors, 15 assistant professors, 6 conducting research in industry, 10 clinical professors/instructors, 14 in private practice, 43 in training and 2 deceased. For the last 10 years the attrition rate was 5%. The applicant pool continues to be strong with a 58% increase over the past five years. This increase in our trainee candidate pool reflects a combination of MUSC's exceptional research environment, our MSTP students' outstanding accomplishments, and the program's national recruitment efforts, which includes personal contacts and a recruitment letter with brochure sent to students who took the MCAT and received a score of > 32 or better. The growth in the quality and quantity of our applicants provides the basis for the requested increase in positions from 8 to 9 per year. Our program is designed along the classical 2,4,2 year paradigm, however, there is considerable flexibility built into it. In addition to rigorous basic science research training and medical schol, trainees gain experiences in translational research via the Translational Sciences Clinic, a month in the Clinical and Translational Research Center and the Translational Medicine Seminar series. The objectives for the next phase are to: 1) continue the rigorous research training in areas of biomedical research by collaborative and highly accomplished faculty with exceptional records of training and research, 2) offer a training program that challenges students to think independently and critically, 3) conduct the training in a challenging, interactie environment that embraces basic, clinical and translational sciences, 4) utilize individualized development plans to enhance the training experience, and 5) continue the rigorous and formal evaluation of the program that uses both quantitative and qualitative data to ensure the most rigorous, effective and efficient training.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请要求继续支持南卡罗来纳州医科大学的医学科学家培训计划。主要目标是培养下一代的医生科学家，他们将选择一个职业，将进行研究，整合基础和临床科学，以改善人类健康和治疗疾病。该计划最初成立于1980年，并稳步增长到目前的56名学生，其中37%是女性。迄今为止，我们100名毕业生的职业成果是：3名教授，所有持有捐赠椅子，7名副教授，15名助理教授，6名从事工业研究，10名临床教授/讲师，14名私人执业，43名培训和2名死者。在过去的10年里，流失率为5%。申请人人数继续保持强劲势头，在过去五年中增加了58%。我们的实习生候选人库的增加反映了MUSC特殊的研究环境，我们的MSTP学生的杰出成就以及该计划的全国招聘工作的结合，其中包括个人联系和发送给参加MCAT并获得> 32或更高分数的学生的小册子的招聘信。我们申请人的质量和数量的增长为要求将职位从每年8个增加到9个提供了基础。我们的课程是沿着经典的2年，4年，2年的模式设计的，但是，它有相当大的灵活性。除了严格的基础科学研究培训和医学学校，学员通过转化科学诊所，临床和转化研究中心和转化医学研讨会系列的一个月获得转化研究的经验。下一阶段的目标是：1）继续在生物医学研究领域进行严格的研究培训，由具有出色培训和研究记录的合作和高度成就的教师进行，2）提供挑战学生独立和批判性思考的培训计划，3）在具有挑战性的，互动的环境中进行培训，包括基础，临床和转化科学，4）利用个性化的发展计划来增强培训体验，5）继续对计划进行严格和正式的评估，使用定量和定性数据，以确保最严格，有效和高效的培训。
