Training Program in Adult and Pediatric Rheumatology

摘要 这份成人和儿童风湿病培训计划的续订提案提供了特殊的 为对研究事业感兴趣的博士后研究员提供基础、翻译和临床研究培训 研究风湿病和自身免疫。现在已经是第15个年头了，培训计划利用 斯坦福大学丰富的研究和培训文化为培养下一代学术人才提供了环境 风湿学和免疫学的独立研究人员。该计划的重点是培训风湿病和 免疫学MD/MD博士研究员，以及来自其他部门的MD/MD博士或博士研究员 对这些研究领域的承诺。医师研究员在其临床培训结束后有资格 必须承诺接受两年的培训，80%的研究时间受保护。学员可以在以下位置选择培训路径 基础和转译研究(轨道1)或临床研究(轨道2)。每条赛道的训练 由假设驱动的研究项目、必修和推荐的课程作业以及技能组成 成功的独立项目所需的开发(例如，拨款申请和手稿准备) 研究生涯。临床研究实习生(第二轨道)有资格获得理学硕士学位 (硕士)流行病学或卫生服务政策研究。第二轨道的其他学员已经选择了课程 从MS课程开始学习。这两个方向的学员都可以选择攻读生物医学硕士学位 信息学。除了课程作业，这两个课程的所有学员都被要求参加每周一次的 风湿病，杂志俱乐部，跨部门的斯坦福大学免疫学项目年度务虚会， 半年一次的T32研究员特别务虚会，为期五天的临床研究强化课程，负责 举办研究课程。针对Track 1的多个其他服务包括高级免疫学 分子免疫学、细胞免疫学和翻译免疫学或计算和系统免疫学的研讨会。 对于第二轨道，通过流行病学和卫生系提供选修/高级课程 研究政策，包括研究设计、流行病学方法、统计分析、临床试验 方法论、结果研究、卫生经济学、数据库设计和管理。克罗斯- 这两个轨道之间的受精是由拥有两个轨道中的一个的主要导师的所有受训者培养的 赛道和另一条赛道上的一名二级导师。这些不同的课程、会议、静修和场地 演讲将为风湿学和免疫学之间的互动提供机会 学员和许多其他免疫学研究员、教职员工和学生参与了广泛的研究基础 在斯坦福大学。教师导师是根据他们的研究专长和指导能力精心挑选的。 对该计划的严格评估确定了改进和朝着目标进展的机会。

ABSTRACT This renewal proposal for the Adult and Pediatric Rheumatology Training Program provides exceptional basic, translational and clinical research training to post-doctoral fellows interested in research careers studying rheumatic diseases and autoimmunity. Now in its 15th year, the training program leverages Stanford’s rich research and training culture to provide the environment to train the next generation of academic independent investigators in rheumatology and Immunology. The program focuses on training rheumatology and immunology MD/MD PhD fellows, as well as MD/MD PhD or PhD fellows from other departments who have strong commitments to these research areas. Physician fellows are eligible at the end of their clinical training and must commit to 2 years of training with >80% protected research time. Fellows can select a training track in either Basic and Translational Research (Track 1) or Clinical Investigation (Track 2). Training in each track is comprised of a hypothesis-driven research project, required and recommended course work, and skill development (e.g., grant application and manuscript preparation) required for a successful independent research career. Trainees in Clinical Investigation (Track 2) are eligible for obtaining a Master of Science (MS) in Epidemiology or in Health Services Policy Research. Other trainees in Track 2 have selected course work from the MS curriculum. Trainees in either track also have the option of pursuing a MS in Biomedical Informatics. In addition to course work, all trainees in both Tracks are required to attend weekly lectures in rheumatic diseases, journal clubs, the interdepartmental Stanford Immunology Program annual retreat, semiannual T32 fellow specific retreats, the five-day Intensive Course in Clinical Research, and Responsible Conduct of Research courses. Multiple other offerings specific to Track 1 include advanced immunology seminars in molecular, cellular, and translational immunology or in computational and systems immunology. For Track 2, elective/advanced courses are offered through the Departments of Epidemiology and Health Research Policy that include study design, epidemiologic methods, statistical analysis, clinical trial methodology, outcomes research, health economics, and database design and management. Cross- fertilization between the two tracks is fostered by all trainees having a primary mentor in one of the two tracks and a secondary mentor in the other track. These various courses, conferences, retreats, and venues for presentation will provide opportunities for interactions between the rheumatology and immunology T32 trainees and the many other immunology fellows, faculty and students involved in the broad base of research at Stanford. Faculty mentors are selected carefully for their research expertise and mentoring competencies. Rigorous evaluation of the program identifies opportunities for improvement and progress toward goals.
