PROGRAM PHYSICIAN SCIENTIST AWARD

这一持续的计划旨在进一步实现 医生-科学家计划，旨在识别、培训和 把S医学中最聪明、最优秀的人招到临床的舞台上 调查。医生在他们的早期临床培训将是 应邀申请为期五年的强化培训计划，将配备 他们具有真正生产所需的强大的基础科学方向 生物医学问题的研究。重点放在提供轨道上 这将为候选人对问题进行有意义的研究做好准备 与NIDDK关注的重大疾病类别有关。前两个 或三年的培训将是最基本的水平，因此 学员可以使用前沿方法解决前沿问题。在此期间 在培训的第一阶段，候选人将被分配到教职员工 在具有广泛适用性的基础学科工作的赞助商 生物医学问题。直接实验室经验将由以下人员补充 旨在填补基础科学背景空白的教学培训。因此， 将免费使用提供的丰富的基础科学课程菜单 在La Jolla校园，辅以特别的小型专业课程 并在适当的情况下举办研讨会。最后两三年的训练 将致力于研究一个与其中一个的病理生理学有关的问题 NIDDK感兴趣的疾病类别。加州大学圣迭戈分校教职员工的核心 计划这一计划的人来自生物系和 化学基于他们已被证明的研究生产力和他们的 S在训练程序上的战绩。他们的目标将是 这些年轻的调查人员的发展，所以五年后他们 应该准备好承担作为初级教职员工的全部责任 他们自己的研究支持。

This continuing program is designed to further implement the aims of the Physician-Scientist Program, a program aimed at identifying, training and recruiting the brightest and best of M.D.'s into the arena of clinical investigation. Physicians in their early years of clinical training will be invited to apply for a five-year intensive training program that will equip them with the strong basic science orientation needed for truly productive research on biomedical problems. Emphasis is placed on providing tracks that will prepare candidates to carry out meaningful research on problems relating to major disease categories of concern to the NIDDK. The first two or three years of training will be at the most basic level so that the trainees can attack frontier problems using frontier methods. During this first phase of their training the candidates will be assigned to faculty sponsors working in fundamental disciplines of broad applicability to biomedical problems. Direct laboratory experience will be supplemented by didactic training designed to fill gaps in basic science background. Thus, liberal use will be made of the rich menu of basic science courses offered on the La Jolla campus supplemented by ad hoc small, specialized courses and seminars where appropriate. The last two or three years of training will be devoted to a research problem bearing on the pathophysiology of one of the disease categories of interest to NIDDK. The nucleus of UCSD faculty planning this program is drawn from the Departments of Biology and Chemistry on the basis of their proven productivity in research and their track record s in training pro-grams. They will have as their goal the development of these young investigators so that after five years they should be ready for full responsibilities as junior faculty members with their own research support.
