TRAINING IN TRANSLATIONAL RESEARCH--BENCH TO BEDSIDE

该项目的目标是创建一个全面的培训计划 激发少数民族学生的兴趣，培养他们的耐心， 导向的转化研究。当前少数民族的多数 学生研究训练计划侧重于基础科学研究。 尽管这些措施至关重要，但并没有充分解决 需要少数临床研究者，很少提供 基础科学研究如何转化为 改善健康。该计划将汇集两个高度 成功的项目：一）马约少数民族学生暑期研究 计划，以及2）以患者为导向的研究教育计划， 美国国立卫生研究院支持的马约综合临床研究中心。新 该计划将扩大这些活动，包括学员， 从本科生到博士后。一种新的方法将被试行 评估该计划对受训者的影响， 他们参与这个项目，而不是等待 用几年时间来评估职业成果。 具体而言，该项目将： 1.修订以患者为导向的研究教育计划， 内科住院医师创建一个为期8周的"介绍， 以患者为导向的转化研究"和为期一年的 "以患者为导向的综合培训计划， 为从本科生到博士后的受训者提供"研究 伙计们 2.为少数民族学生提供动态的研究经验， 有经验的导师的指导。 3.将从事基础科学工作的少数民族学生聚集在一起 实验室与那些致力于以病人为导向或翻译 研究问题，以证明研究的连通性"，从 “床到床”。 4.激励对基础科学研究感兴趣的学生继续下去 通过向他们展示这种直接适用性， 研究临床问题。 5.重新指导以纯临床职业道路为导向的少数族裔学员 以病人为导向的研究。 6.使用半结构化面试，确定 知识，态度和行为发生在受训者在8- 为期一周和一年的节目，影响他们的兴趣， 以病人为中心的研究。

The goal of the project is to create a comprehensive training program to stimulate interest and train minority students in patient- oriented, translational research. The majority of current minority student research training programs focus on basic science research. Although critically important, they do not adequately address the need for minority clinical investigators, and seldom provide a motivational vision of how basic science research translates to improved health. This program will bring together two highly successful programs: I) the Mayo minority student summer research program, and 2) the education program in patient-oriented research at the NIH-supported Mayo General Clinical Research Center. The new program will expand these activities to include trainees ranging from under-graduates to postdoctoral fellows. A new method will be piloted to evaluate the impact of the program on trainees by the conclusion of their participation in the program, rather than waiting for several years to assess career outcomes. Specifically, the project will: 1. Revise an education program in patient-oriented research for internal medicine residents to create an 8-week "Introduction to Patient-Oriented, Translational Research" and a year-long "Comprehensive Training Program in Patient-Oriented, Translational Research" for trainees ranging from undergraduates to postdoctoral fellows. 2. Provide minority students with a dynamic research experience under the guidance of skilled mentors. 3. Bring together minority students working in basic science laboratories with those working on patient-oriented or translational research questions to demonstrate the connectivity of research "from bench to bedside". 4. Motivate students interested in basic science research to continue this career path by showing them the direct applicability of such research to clinical problems. 5. Re-direct minority trainees headed in purely clinical career paths toward patient-oriented research. 6. Using semi-structured interviews, determine what changes in knowledge, attitudes and behaviors occur in trainees during the 8- week and year-long programs which influence their interest in patient-oriented research.
