药理学科学培训计划（PSTP）的使命是为博士学位的获得做准备。 来自不同学科的候选人在他们的职业生涯中使用药理学作为科学家， 学术界、研究机构、政府、工业界或自己的创业企业。 我们的培训计划的目标是（1）招募一个有才华的和多样化的毕业生池 （2）培训学生， 独立的科学家，并通过实验室研究为科学知识做出贡献， 我们杰出的教师，这是发表在同行评议的文献。(3)教学生 药理学的核心原则，通过一个有效的课程，提供 药理学的词汇和基础知识，实验设计和严格数据的培训 分析及（4）提供专业技能培训，包括批判性思维， 通过研讨会和辅导活动相结合，加强沟通和领导能力（5） 提供有关特定职业道路的信息和经验培训， 通过定期研讨会，专业参与药理学研究相关领域 系列，制药行业实习，教学机会，通过杜克中心， 杜克许可和风险投资办公室的科学教育、实习和选修课程 以及杜克创新与创业中心。我们的培训计划提供 广泛的项目和机构专业和职业发展 在负责任的研究行为（RCR）和严谨性方面的机会和持续培训， 生殖系统（R&R）。这个培训计划的每一个要素都能培养学生的批判性思维， 实验设计和数据分析，发展独立的规划，执行 研究策略，团队合作以及口头和书面陈述技巧。(6)为了招募， 培训和评估从事药理学研究的研究导师。我们预计 我们的导师与学员建立健康和富有成效的关系，以加强 研究设计中的严谨性和再现性（R&R）原则，并通过实例和 指导负责任的研究行为的最佳实践。

The mission of the Pharmacological Sciences Training Program (PSTP) is to prepare Ph.D. candidates from a variety of disciplines to use Pharmacology in their careers as scientists in academia, research institutes, government, industry or their own entrepreneurial enterprises. The objectives of our training program are (1) To recruit a talented and diverse pool of graduate trainees including trainees from underrepresented populations, (2) To train students to become independent scientists and to contribute to scientific knowledge through laboratory research with our outstanding faculty that is published in the peer-reviewed literature. (3) To teach students the core principles of Pharmacology through an efficient curriculum which provides the vocabulary and basics of Pharmacology, training in experimental design and rigorous data analysis and (4) To provide training in professional skills including critical thinking, communication and leadership with a combination of seminars and mentoring activities (5) To provide information about and experiential training in specific career paths that leads to professional engagement in areas related to Pharmacology research through a regular seminar series, a pharmaceutical industry internship, teaching opportunities through Duke Center for Science Education and internships and electives in the Duke Office of Licensing and Ventures and the Duke Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship. Our training program provides a broad array of programmatic and institutional professional and career development opportunities and ongoing training in Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) and Rigor and Reproducibility (R&R). Every element of this training program trains students in critical thinking, experimental design and data analysis, development of independence in planning, executing a research strategy, working in teams and oral and written presentation techniques. (6) To recruit, train and evaluate research mentors who are conducting research in pharmacology. We expect our mentors to develop healthy and productive relationships with mentees, to reinforce the Principles of Rigor and Reproducibility (R&R) in research design and to inform by example and instruction best practices for Responsible Conduct of Research.
