Molecular Mechanisms of Microbial Pathogenesis Training Program

微生物致病的分子机制（MMMP）培训计划每年支持5 博士前学生和2名博士后研究员，接受微生物发病机理和宿主方面的高级培训 密歇根大学的回应。MMMP学生和研究员获得高级研究培训， 在领先的实验室中有忠诚的导师。他们还受益于学术和专业 通过特定主题的课程，研讨会，期刊俱乐部，公共宣传和职业发展来发展 活动高度选择的学生通过UM计划在生物医学科学（PIBS）录取 伞计划，支持他们的第一年，其中学生专注于课程和实验室 在选择14个学位授予项目之一之前进行轮换。导师提名PhD或MD/PHD 在第一年结束时，根据对微生物贡献的主题兴趣， 健康和疾病。MMMP课程与微生物学和免疫学学位保持一致 课程。博士后在导师提名或通过集中管理后进入MMMP 博士后招聘活动。学员可以在诊所、 该培训生通过跟踪传染病，从翻译的角度研究传染病， 临床疾病医师与期刊俱乐部基础研究与临床实践的对接 讨论会。学员还获得了选择，主持和增强接触的经验， MMMP赞助的外部演讲者，为校园带来了多样化和创新的研究人员， 职业发展模式。最后，学员通过参加以下活动来培养基本的沟通技能： 在与公众进行各种外联活动之前，在校园内举办科学交流研讨会 机会在即将到来的供资期间，新的倡议包括每年举行一次国内流离失所者"聚会"， 年度MMMP现场务虚会，并进行退出调查。这些新活动的推出， 预计将进一步加强MMMP培训经验，作为实现学员职业生涯的一种手段 目标.

The Molecular Mechanisms of Microbial Pathogenesis (MMMP) training program annually supports 5 predoctoral students and 2 postdoctoral fellows for advanced training in microbial pathogenesis and host response at the University of Michigan. MMMP students and fellows gain advanced research training with committed mentors in field-leading laboratories. They also benefit from academic and professional development via theme-specific courses, seminars, journal clubs, public outreach, and career development activities. Highly selected students are admitted through the UM Program in Biomedical Sciences (PIBS) umbrella program, which supports their first year wherein students focus on courses and laboratory rotations before selecting one of 14 degree granting programs. Mentors nominate PhD or MD/PHD students for MMMP at the end of the first year based on thematic interests in the contributions of microbes to health and disease. MMMP coursework is aligned with the Microbiology and Immunology degree curriculum. Postdocs are admitted to MMMP after nomination by mentors or through centralized postdoctoral recruitment events. Trainees access to the feature course of MMMP Science in the clinics, in which trainees examine infectious diseases from a translational perspective by shadowing an Infectious Diseases physician in the clinics and connecting basic research with clinical practice in journal club discussion sessions. Trainees also gain experience in selecting, hosting, and enhanced exposure to MMMP sponsored external speaker, which brings diverse and innovative investigators to campus as role models for career development. Finally, trainees develop essential communication skills by participating in an on campus science communication workshop before engaging with the public in a variety of outreach opportunities. New initiatives in the upcoming funding period include having an annual IDP “party”, an annual MMMP on site retreat, and implementation of exit surveys. Introduction of these new activities is expected to further enhance the MMMP training experience as a means toward attaining trainee career objectives.
