Core C: Training Core

核心C摘要 核心C的总体目标是促进下一代 神经学家、基础科学家和翻译科学家在这样一个环境中 临床医生定期进行互动，以增进对肌营养不良症的了解。具体地说，每个 年核心C将支持两名医学生研究员、一名博士后的培训活动 研究员，本科生研究员。医学和博士后研究员将是 由Core共同领导(Campbell博士和Mathews博士)和本科生研究员共同指导 将由其中一人指导。该中心的教育努力至关重要，因为有 迫切需要基础科学家和临床医生，他们可以合作开发、测试和 实施肌营养不良症治疗。通过建立医学生联谊会，我们 将培养对学术儿童神经学的兴趣(重点是神经肌肉)。这是全职的 奖学金将使每年两名医学生能够参加一系列的MDSRC 活动包括对肌营养不良症患者的临床护理、患者评估 在马修斯博士的监督下参与项目2，肌肉活组织检查的解释 史蒂文·摩尔博士和临床试验的接触。博士后研究奖学金将 通过提供博士、医学博士或医学博士/博士学位，培训肌营养不良症基础研究方面的科学家 在坎贝尔博士的实验室有丰富的研究经验的毕业生。这段经历 将通过观察临床环境中的患者护理来补充，增强研究员的 理解和欣赏转化性研究的临床方面。本科生 研究奖学金旨在为MDSRC提供密集的研究经验 实验室将鼓励学生追求翻译科学的职业生涯。这 奖学金授予目前在爱荷华大学注册的学生。这些 个人将在MDSRC实验室与博士后导师密切合作。所有实习生都将 参加每月一次的韦尔斯通神经肌肉会议，在那里临床研究员和 教员展示有趣的案例，讨论文学和科学实习生加入 讨论。当前的Wellstone实习生将积极参与家庭和患者 由Core A主办的会议，介绍他们的研究并与 病人和家属。基于网络的互动案例将神经肌肉训练扩展到 更广泛的社区。通过这些活动，核心C将加快教育使命的 MDSRC，并为临床医生科学家提供充满活力的培训环境。

CORE C SUMMARY The overall goal of Core C is to foster the growth and development of the next generation of neurologists, and basic and translational scientists in an environment where basic scientists and clinicians interact regularly to advance knowledge about muscular dystrophy. Specifically, each year Core C will support training activities for two Medical Student Fellows, a Postdoctoral Fellow, and an Undergraduate Research Fellow. The medical and postdoctoral fellows will be mentored by both Core Co-Leads (Drs. Campbell and Mathews), and the undergraduate fellow will be mentored by one of them. The educational efforts of the Center are vital because there is an urgent need for basic scientists and clinicians who can partner to develop, test and implement muscular dystrophy therapies. By establishing the Medical Student Fellowship, we will foster interest in academic child neurology (with a neuromuscular focus). This full-time fellowship will enable two medical students per year to participate in a range of MDSRC activities including care of muscular dystrophy patients in clinic, evaluation of patients participating in Project 2 under the supervision of Dr. Mathews, interpretation of muscle biopsies with Dr. Steven Moore and exposure to clinical trials. The Postdoctoral Research Fellowship will train scientists in the basic research of muscular dystrophy, by providing a PhD, MD, or MD/PhD graduate with an intensive research experience in Dr. Campbell's laboratory. This experience will be complemented by observation of patient care in a clinical setting, enhancing the fellow's understanding and appreciation of the clinical side of translational research. The Undergraduate Research Fellowship is designed to provide an intensive research experience in an MDSRC laboratory that will encourage students to pursue careers in translational science. This fellowship is awarded to students who are currently enrolled at the University of Iowa. These individuals will work closely with a postdoctoral advisor in an MDSRC laboratory. All trainees will participate in the monthly Wellstone Neuromuscular Conference, where clinical fellows and faculty present interesting cases with discussion of literature and scientific trainees join in discussion. Current Wellstone trainees will actively participate in the Family and Patient Conference hosted by Core A by presenting their research and interacting one-on-one with patients and families. Web-based interactive cases will extend neuromuscular training to the wider community. Through these activities, Core C will accelerate the education mission of the MDSRC and provide a vibrant training environment for clinician scientists.
