Medical Scientist Training Program

描述(由申请人提供)：威斯康星医学院医学科学培训计划(MSTP)提供综合医学和基础科学培训，作为未来学术内科科学家的教育基础。MCW是美国第三大私立医学院，在美国医学院中排名第42位，在NIH教师人均拨款中排名第5，是美国增长最快的医学院之一。自1982年以来，MCW一直支持MD-PhD项目，并在2010年获得了MSTP T-32，将即将到来的课程从4名学员扩大到6名学员。该项目目前有42名学员。所有受训者在研究生和医学院学习期间都能获得全额津贴和学费减免。学员在新的医学院课程中攻读医学博士学位，其中包括在M1-M2年的培训期间早期接触临床，并参与MSTP特定的专业发展途径，该途径与临床翻译科学研究所整合。学员还参加每月进行中的研究、与特邀内科科学家共进午餐系列、年度务虚会、客座教授讲座、研究生院期间的纵向临床体验和校友研讨会系列。研究生院授予生物化学、生物物理学、生物统计学、细胞和发育生物学、神经科学、微生物学和免疫学、药理学和生理学的博士学位。在研究生院，实习生学习他们的科学专业课程，并完成博士学位的研究要求。此外，受训人员还参加关于NIH和研究员写作、论文/手稿写作、专业发展和住院医师选择的研讨会。MSTP致力于促进学员之间的多样性。MCW的研究中心已经成长为专注研究工作的场所，这扩大了我们的学员在博士培训期间可以在与基础科学家和临床教师合作和转换的环境中追求的机械研究主题。每个实习生的计划是 个性化，以适应他/她的职业兴趣。MCW寻求来自NIGMS的更多支持，以使我们的MSTP与MCW研究工作的增长保持一致。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Medical Science Training Program (MSTP) at the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW) provides integrated medical and basic science training as the educational foundation for future academic physician scientists. MCW is the third largest private medical school in the country and ranks 42nd in total NIH funding and 5th in NIH funding per faculty among US medical schools, as one of the fastest growing medical schools in the US. Since 1982, MCW has supported an MD-PhD Program and in 2010, MCW received an MSTP T-32 to expand the incoming class from four to six trainees. There are currently 42 trainees in the program. All trainees receive a full stipend and tuition wavier during graduate and medical school studies. Trainees pursue the combined MD-PhD degrees within a new medical school curriculum that includes early clinical exposure during M1-M2 years of training and participation in an MSTP- specific professional development pathway, which integrates with the Clinical Translational Science Institute. Trainees also participate in a monthly Research in Progress, a Luncheon series with invited Physician Scientists, an annual Retreat, a Visiting Professor Lecture, a Longitudinal Clinical Experience while in Graduate School, and an Alumni Seminar Series. The Graduate School awards PhD degrees in biochemistry, biophysics, biostatistics, cell and developmental biology, neuroscience, microbiology and immunology, pharmacology, and physiology. In Graduate School, trainees take courses in their scientific specialty and complete the research requirement for the PhD degree. In addition, trainees participate in workshops on the NIH and Fellowship writing, Dissertation/Manuscript writing, Professional development, and Residency selection. The MSTP is committed to furthering diversity among trainees. Research Centers at MCW have grown as sites for focused research efforts, which expand the mechanistic research topics our trainees can pursue during their PhD training in a collaborative and translational environment with basic scientists and clinical faculty. Each trainee's program is individualized to fit his/her career interests. MCW seeks expanded support from NIGMS to align our MSTP with the growth of MCW's research efforts.
