TRAINING IN CLINICAL INVESTIGATION FOR PHYSICIANS

这项提案概述了在耶鲁医学院建立一个新的项目，培训内科科学家进行临床研究的计划。该计划的核心是一项新的倡议，即实验医学计划，该计划将通过医学部向来自多个临床部门的临床研究员授予高级学位。该计划旨在通过提供有利于临床研究长期培训的保护和支持环境，来认可临床研究员的高级培训状态和特殊的职业方向。该计划中的两条培训路径--临床策略路径和面向疾病的路径--都将包括严格的课程作业课程，在临床教师的指导下进行指导研究，以及由资格和论文委员会仔细监督，以获得博士或博士学位。四年后获得学位。其他将从课程和课程工作中受益的学员包括耶鲁医学院T32机构培训补助金支持的其他研究员、K-08、K23或CAP奖项的获得者，以及耶鲁护理学院护理学博士项目的选定学生。目前的应用是响应RFA OD-98-007，通过设计严格的课程，通过新的和现有的课程提供临床调查方面的尖端培训。该课程最大限度地利用了医学院现有的强大培训环境。

This proposal outlines plans to establish a new program for training physician scientists in clinical investigation at the Yale School of Medicine. The centerpiece of the program is a new initiative, the Experimental Medicine Program, which will award advanced degrees through the Department of Medicine to clinical fellows from a multitude of clinical departments. This program was designed to recognize the advanced training status and the special career orientation of clinical fellows, by providing a protected and supportive environment conducive to prolonged training in clinical investigation. The two training pathways within the program- the Clinical Strategies Pathway and the Disease-Oriented Pathway - will both consist of a rigorous curriculum of coursework, of mentored research under the tutelage of a clinical faculty member, and of careful supervision by qualifying and thesis committees leading to the Ph.D. or D.Sc. degree after a period of four years. Additional trainees who will benefit from the curriculum and coursework include other fellows supported by T32 Institutional Training Grants at the Yale School of Medicine, recipients of K-08, K23, or CAP awards, and selected students from the Yale School of Nursing's Doctoral of Nursing Science Program. The current application is responsive to RFA OD-98-007 by designing a rigorous curriculum which provides cutting edge training in clinical investigation through new and existing coursework. The curriculum takes maximum advantage of the strong training environment already in place in the Medical School.
