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 为了激发兴趣，培养少数民族学生的耐心- 面向翻译的研究。目前的少数族裔中的大多数 学生研究培训计划侧重于基础科学研究。 虽然非常重要，但它们并没有充分解决 需要少数族裔临床研究人员，很少提供 基础科学研究如何转化为 改善健康状况。这一计划将汇集两个高度 成功的项目：i)梅奥少数民族学生暑期调查 计划，以及2)以患者为中心的研究教育计划 NIH支持的梅奥综合临床研究中心。新的 计划将扩大这些活动，以包括以下培训人员 本科生到博士后研究员。将试行一种新方法 通过结论评估项目对学员的影响 而不是等待他们参与该计划 几年的时间来评估职业生涯的结果。 具体而言，该项目将： 1.修订以病人为中心的研究教育计划 内科住院医师将制作为期8周的《入门》 以患者为导向，转化性研究“和一年 “以病人为本、翻译性的综合培训计划 面向从本科生到博士后的实习生 伙计们。 2.为少数族裔学生提供动态的研究体验 技术娴熟的导师的指导。 3.汇聚从事基础科学工作的少数民族学生 与那些致力于以患者为中心或转化型的实验室 展示研究连通性的研究问题“来自 从长凳到床边“。 4.激励学生继续对基础科学研究感兴趣 这条职业道路向他们展示了 对临床问题的研究。 5.重新引导少数族裔实习生走上纯粹的临床职业道路 转向以患者为中心的研究。 6.使用半结构化面试，确定以下方面的变化 实习生在8-8岁期间的知识、态度和行为 影响他们兴趣的为期一周和一年的计划 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.
