Education Core

MARC教育核心强调a)发展MARC临床前和临床研究者之间的协同作用，b)为临床前和临床住院医师和研究员创造转化研究经验。教育核心的更新申请承认，多学科受益于系统的培训，并包括有兴趣解决使用甲基苯丙胺（MAs）和其他药物的临床学员和医疗保健专业人员的多样性。毒品研究中心的临床前和临床研究为改善与甲基苯丙胺滥用和依赖作斗争的男女的保健和成瘾治疗提供了基础。我们还提供媒体培训，帮助临床前和临床研究人员提高沟通技巧，更有效地与印刷和视频记者合作，并提高MARC的公众形象。扩大媒体培训包括在OHSU增加MARC调查员和nida资助的调查员。最后，教育核心开发了创新的参与性展览，帮助公众了解成瘾是一种脑部疾病，以及人类和动物研究对更有效治疗甲基苯丙胺和毒瘾的贡献。

The MARC Education Core emphasizes the a) development of synergy between MARC's pre-clinical and clinical investigators and b) creation of translational research experiences for pre-clinical and clinical residents and fellows. The Education Core's renewal application recognizes that multiple disciplines benefit from systematic training and embraces a diversity of clinical trainees and healthcare professionals interested in addressing the use methamphetamines (MAs) and other drugs. The MARC's pre-clinical and clinical research provides a foundation for improving healthcare and addiction treatment for women and men struggling with methamphetamine abuse and dependence. We also offer media training to help pre-clinical and clinical investigators improve communication skills, work more effectively with print and video reporters, and enhance the public image of the MARC. An expansion of media training includes more MARC investigators and NIDA-funded investigators at OHSU. Finally, the Education Core develops innovative participatory exhibits that help the public understand addiction as a brain disease, and the contributions of human and animal studies to more effective treatments for methamphetamine and drug addiction. The MARC Education Core has two specific aims: training and outreach. Aim 1: Enhance the training environment and establish strategic partnerships between lab-based drug abuse research and drug treatment and intervention (including trainees in basic and clinical research and both future and practicing healthcare providers). Aim 2: Disseminate public education tools developed for training scientists to talk with the public and create unique exhibits that actively engage the public in NIH research. The Education Core's innovative training and outreach strategies support the professional development of MARC investigators (invited speakers, seminars, and meetings) and translate the neuroscience of addiction to the general public and to the community of science (media training and participatory citizen science exhibits).
