Dermatology Research Training Program

摘要： 得克萨斯大学西南分校皮肤科的一个超额目标 医学中心是培养皮肤生物学和皮肤疾病的科学领导者。为了实现这一目标，我们 寻求更新我们的T32皮肤病学研究培训计划，主要招募MD/PhD或 医学博士候选人从皮肤科住院医师申请人早在住院医师匹配。该计划的 成功可以通过我们的毕业生作为校长获得联邦赠款的成就来衡量 研究人员（迄今为止超过60%的毕业生）和学术界和工业界的领导职位。这些 成就验证现行政策：（1）选择具有公认科学成就的候选人 和独立调查的强大潜力;（2）继续培养2 多岁在临床皮肤病学，然后2年的研究（历史上的基础和/或翻译，但 最近扩展到临床）;和（3）导师下的优秀教师从我们的研究生 生物科学学院。该计划将继续管理：由同一个主任和2个共同- 董事（一个高级和一个初级谁是计划校友）加上一个新的（国际 著名的）博士科学家，由一名协调员和3名顾问谁持有院长职位， 西南部我们收集了38位潜在的导师（包括一位诺贝尔奖获得者和9位 美国国家科学院），他们都收到了NIH R 01赠款，是有效的导师 与皮肤科人员进行有意义的互动。总的来说，我们导师的著作 平均H指数高达64。在下一个资助周期，我们已经招募了6名优秀的 博士后实习生。该计划在2018年得到了Dennis Roop博士的特别评论， Alice Pentland医学博士在2019年，Pentland博士在评论的背景下判断该计划。 研究部分。

ABSTRACT: An over-arching goal of the Department of Dermatology at The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center is to produce scientific leaders in skin biology and skin disease. To sustain this goal, we seek to renew our T32 Dermatology Research Training Program, which primarily recruits MD/PhD or MD candidates from dermatology residency applicants as early as the residency match. The program’s success can be measured by our graduates’ achievements in acquiring federal grants as principal investigators (over 60% of graduates to date) and leadership positions in academia and industry. These accomplishments validate current policies: (1) selecting candidates with proven scientific achievements and strong potential for independent investigation; (2) continuing a physician-scientist track that trains 2 yrs. in clinical dermatology and then 2 yrs. in research (historically fundamental and/or translational, but with recent expansion into clinical); and (3) preceptorship under outstanding faculty from our Graduate School of Biosciences. The program will continue to be administered: by the same director and 2 co- directors (a senior one and a junior one who is a program alumnus) plus a new (internationally renowned) PhD scientist, by a coordinator, and by 3 advisors who hold Dean-ship positions at Southwestern. We gathered 38 potential preceptors (including a Nobel laureate and 9 members of the National Academy of Science), all of whom have received NIH R01 grants and are effective mentors and meaningful interactors with dermatology personnel. In the aggregate, our preceptors’ publications rate a high mean H-index of 64. For the next funding cycle, we have already recruited 6 outstanding post-doc trainees. The program was given exceptional reviews by Dennis Roop PhD in 2018 and by Alice Pentland MD in 2019, with Dr. Pentland judging the program in the context of comments from the Study Section.
