STRATEGIC CURRICULUM FOR CLINICAL RESEARCH

本申请是为了获得新的K30临床研究课程奖(CRCA)，以响应RFA OD-98-007。该计划的主要目的是开发一个核心课程，将为杰出的和具有研究意识的内科科学家提供在临床研究原理方面的坚实基础。借助西奈山医学院的独特优势，受训教师将在以下三个领域接受教育和指导：1)流行病学和行为研究；2)成果和卫生政策研究；和/或3)以患者为中心的研究。被选中参加这一计划的参与者将获得设计和进行新兴医学治疗的临床调查以及分析和应用新诊断技术和新方法研究疾病病理生理学的技能。还将为代表不足的少数民族学生制定独特的教育方案。这项计划的具体目标是：1)提供适用于临床研究的临床研究方法学、生物统计学、生物伦理学和基本科学技术方面的深入培训；3)培养临床研究的环境和课程，突出妇女健康、少数民族人口和特定民族和文化群体的临床研究努力；4)使受训者能够分析、批评和解释他们自己和其他人的研究结果；5)将我们目前由GCRC和医学和社区医学部主办的现有临床研究课程与这里建议的更全面的方案结合起来，以便为以后临床研究博士学位的发展提供一个框架；以及6)通过利用二元导师(实习生/学生)方案，提高西奈山医学院青年教育卓越中心中未被充分代表的少数族裔青年对临床研究的欣赏。这一奖项将使该机构在培养和培养未来临床科学家和临床研究领导者的教育视野方面发展和扩大其声誉。该奖项将提供额外的价值，通过培养一种环境，允许未被充分代表的少数族裔学生在早期接触到临床研究职业的可能性。通过这样做，该计划将通过青年教育卓越中心，提高教师和其他受训人员对正在进行的临床研究和新的教育倡议的认识，并将有助于实现该机构的目标，即成为全国知名的临床研究指导和促进卓越的专业知识。

This application is for a new K30 Clinical Research Curriculum Award (CRCA), in response to RFA OD-98-007. The principal aim of the program described here is to develop a core curriculum which will provide outstanding and investigatively minded physician scientists with a strong foundation in the principles of clinical research. Drawing upon the unique strengths of The Mount Sinai School of Medicine faculty trainees will be educated about and mentored in three areas 1) epidemiological and behavioral studies; 2) outcomes and health policy research; and/or 3) patient oriented research. Participants who are selected to join this program will acquire the skills to design and conduct clinical investigations of emerging medical treatments and to analyze and apply new diagnostic techniques and new approaches to the study of disease pathophysiology. A unique educational program for underrepresented minority students will also be developed. The specific objectives of this program, which will be achieved through a didactic and interactive curriculum and through active mentoring are: 1) To provide in depth training in clinical research methodologies, biostatistics, bioethics and basic science techniques that are applicable to clinical research; 3) To foster an environment and curriculum in clinical research which highlights clinical investigative efforts in Women's Health, minority populations and specific ethnic and cultural groups; 4) To enable trainees to analyze, critique and interpret the results of their own research and that of others; 5) to integrate our existing clinical research curriculum, currently presented under the auspices of the GCRC and the Department of Medicine and Community Medicine, with the more comprehensive program proposed here, in order to provide a framework for the later development of a Ph.D. in clinical research; and 6) To enhance appreciation for clinical research among underrepresented minority youth participants in the Center for Excellence in Youth Education, at Mount Sinai School of Medicine, by utilizing a dyad mentorship (trainee/student) program. This award will enable this institution to grow and extend its reputation in fostering and cultivating the educational horizons of future clinical scientists and leaders in clinical investigation. This award will provide added value by fostering an environment that allows for underrepresented minority students to be exposed early on to the possibilities of careers in clinical investigation. In so doing the program will enhance awareness among faculty and other trainees regarding the clinical research and novel educational initiatives ongoing, through the Center for Excellence in Youth Education and will contribute to the Institutional goal of becoming nationally renowned for its expertise in mentoring and promoting excellence in clinical investigation.
