Development of Clinician/Researchers in Academic ENT

项目总结/摘要 听力、平衡和其他沟通障碍的疾病可能是毁灭性的，因为它们会减少 或妨碍社会交往和幸福。华盛顿大学医学院已经建立了 在基础生物医学、临床和行为健康科学研究方面享有盛誉。近日 大学扩大了在创业，研究创新， 技术转让以及传播和实施科学。 延续这一长期而成功的培训方案的理由是， 医学科学家今天面临的巨大挑战，包括新技术的快速增长和步伐， 知识发现，赠款资金周期的繁荣或萧条性质，实践之间日益扩大的鸿沟， 临床医生和生物医学科学家，以及未能将妇女纳入研究事业的水平， 反映了完成医学院学业的女性人数。通过这次竞争性的更新， 重点将放在转化科学，这是认识到华盛顿大学的新的和令人兴奋的 创业公司的创业文化，其生物技术的商业化，以及其日益关注 传播和实施研究。 耳鼻喉科T32培训计划的总体目标如下： (1)向优秀的博士前医学生介绍研究的兴奋和挑战， 努力激发对研究的兴趣，作为他们未来职业目标的一部分; (2)培训耳鼻喉科博士后住院医师的研究技术，使他们能够竞争 成功地获得研究奖项，并在学术医学中担任领导角色。 耳鼻喉科T32培训计划的具体目标如下： (1)为了提供指导研究经验与教师谁正在进行临床相关的基础， 与耳聋和其他疾病相关的临床、转化或行为研究; (2)提供教学核心和选修课程的机会，以确保学员获得深入的 与相关研究技术有关的知识; (3)提供课程，研讨会，讲习班和教程，重点是与专业相关的主题 发展技能。 成功实现这些目标将导致多元化和训练有素的人才数量增加 未来将领导多学科研究团队的医学科学家。 该培训计划将任命两名博士前医学生和四名博士后耳鼻喉科 住院医师每年。所有受训人员都将接受负责任地开展研究的培训。正式 将对受训人员和导师进行评价，并将跟踪所有受训人员，以评估成果。

Project Summary/Abstract Diseases of hearing, balance, and other communication disorders can be devastating, because they decrease or prevent social interaction and well-being. Washington University School of Medicine has an established reputation for outstanding basic biomedical, clinical, and behavioral health sciences research. Recently, the university expanded its training and education opportunities in entrepreneurship, research innovation, technology transfer, and dissemination and implementation science. The rationale for the renewal of this long-standing and successful training program is to address the enormous challenges that physician-scientists face today, including the rapid growth and pace of new knowledge discovery, the boom-or-bust nature of grant-funding cycles, the growing chasm between practicing clinicians and biomedical scientists, and the failure to incorporate women into research careers at a level reflective of the number of women who complete medical school. With this competitive renewal, a greater emphasis will be placed on translational science, which recognizes Washington University’s new and exciting entrepreneurial culture of startup companies, its commercialization of biotechnology, and its increased focus on dissemination and implementation research. The overall goals of the Otolaryngology T32 Training Program are as follows: (1) To introduce outstanding predoctoral medical students to the excitement and challenges of research in an effort to stimulate an interest in research as part of their future career goals; and (2) To train postdoctoral otolaryngology residents in the techniques of research so that they may compete successfully for research awards and assume leadership roles in academic medicine. The Specific Aims of the Otolaryngology T32 training program are as follows: (1) To provide mentored research experience with faculty who are conducting clinically relevant basic, clinical, translational, or behavioral research related to deafness and other disorders; (2) To provide didactic core and elective coursework opportunities to ensure that trainees acquire in-depth knowledge related to relevant research techniques; and (3) To provide curricula, seminars, workshops, and tutorials that focus on topics related to professional development skills. The successful completion of these aims will result in increased numbers of diverse and well-trained physician-scientists who will lead the multidisciplinary research teams of the future. The training program will appoint two predoctoral medical students and four postdoctoral otolaryngology resident physicians each year. All trainees will receive training in the responsible conduct of research. Formal evaluation of trainees and mentors will be performed, and all trainees will be tracked to assess outcomes.
