项目摘要 在美国，肾脏病学界面临着重大挑战。一个是总体 对肾脏病学作为一个专业的兴趣下降;第二个是对肾脏病学的整体兴趣下降， 医生科学家的职业生涯因此，在培训的早期阶段实施方案， 对学术医学的兴趣正在减弱的地区是一个优先事项。长期目标是 一项提案是为了提高佛罗里达医学院实习生对肾脏病学的兴趣。为了 为了实现这一目标，我们建议让10名一年级医学生参加一个暑期项目， 旨在通过让学生接触基础，临床和翻译来培养对肾脏病学的兴趣 科学研究的机会。这个全国性的肾脏病学暑期学校将被命名为UM- KIIMERA：迈阿密大学肾脏创新与跨学科医学教育研究 活动为了实现拟议的目标，该计划的具体目标是： 十名一年级医学生（五名来自UM，五名来自其他佛罗里达机构）在八周内 暑期研究计划（B）通过促进学生参与 肾脏病学学术活动，参加地方和国家肾脏病学会议，并变得活跃 当地APSA分会的成员UM-KIIMERA课程将包括临床讲座， 转化和实验研究，导师-学员早餐，欢迎研讨会，八- 在一个特定的研究项目，一个专门的期刊俱乐部，一个关闭一周身临其境的体验 星期六上午，简短的演讲和介绍迈阿密大学的成员 美国医师科学家协会（APSA）分会。几次课后学术活动 提供研究机会，以保持学生在整个程序中的参与 医学院该计划的目的是授权和被授权的现有培训赠款 机构研究机会和活动。一个组织计划委员会将运作 在外部咨询委员会（EAB）的监督下。一组经过CTSI认证的 学生可获导师指导。成果指标，如U-KIIMERA学生的职业生涯 每年将收集选择，并用于指导该方案实现其目标。

PROJECT SUMMARY There are major challenges facing the nephrology community in the United States. One is the overall decrease in interest in nephrology as a specialty; the second one is the overall decreased interest in a career as physician scientist. Therefore, implementation of programs at earlier stages of training in areas where the interest in academic medicine is diminishing is a priority. The long-term goal of this proposal is to increase the interest in nephrology among medical school trainees in Florida. In order to achieve this goal, we propose to engage ten first year medical students in a summer program designed to foster interest in nephrology by exposing students to basic, clinical, and translational science research opportunities. This state-wide summer school of nephrology will be named UM- KIIMERA: University of Miami Kidney Innovative & Interdisciplinary Medical Education in Research Activities. In order the achieve the proposed goal, the specific aims of this program are: a) Engage ten first year medical students (five from UM, and 5 from other Florida Institutions) in a eight-week summer research program (b) Retain the engaged students by promoting their participation in Nephrology scholarly activities, attending local and national nephrology meeting, and become active members of the local APSA chapter. UM-KIIMERA curriculum will include lectures on clinical, translational and experimental research, a mentor-mentee breakfast, a welcome symposium, a eight- week immersive experience in a specific research project, a dedicated journal club, a closing Saturday morning with brief presentations and an introduction to members of the University of Miami American Physician Scientist Association (APSA) chapter. Several post course scholarly activities and research opportunities are provided to maintain the students engaged in the program throughout medical school. The program is designed to empower and be empowered by existing training grants and Institutional research opportunities and events. An organizing program committee will operate under the supervision of an External Advisory Committee (EAB). A selected group of CTSI certified mentors will be available to the students. Outcome metrics such as U-KIIMERA students career choice will be collected yearly and utilized to guide the program towards its goals.
