CLINICAL RESEARCH CURRICULUM AND MENTORSHIP PROGRAM

约翰霍普金斯临床研究生培训计划（GTPCI）于1993年启动，是该大学医学院和公共卫生学院的共同努力。 该计划在五年内招收了45名医生-研究人员进入为期一年的教学课程，然后进行至少两年的指导临床研究，导致论文发表和授予硕士或博士学位。℃下 我们现在建议在这个新的NIH支持机制下，为这个示范项目提供增强的行政、指导和课程结构，并评估其在培养富有成效的职业调查人员方面的成功。 新的特点包括课程元素的扩展，包括基于网络的学习，核心课程扩展到更广泛的受众，包括教师和博士后研究员，教育成果的正式评估，少数民族招聘和学员保留的增强，以及教师和整个学术界的临床调查丰富经验。 该项目的长期目标是加强、提高和评估一个培训上级临床研究者的模型，我们已经获得了相当多的经验，并将其一些好处扩展到约翰霍普金斯内外更广泛的临床研究者群体。 具体目标是：（1）为正在进行的GTPCI提供并加强行政和课程结构;（2）评估GTPCI模式和相关计划在培养成功的职业调查者方面的成功;（3）为约翰霍普金斯内外的博士后研究员、教师和活跃的临床调查者提供临床调查方面的短期课程。 我们希望这些增强和扩展将提高我们机构临床研究未来职业的可见性，有效性和成功。

The Johns Hopkins Graduate Training Program in Clinical Investigation (GTPCI) was initiated in 1993 as a joint effort of the University's Schools of Medicine and Public Health. The Program has matriculated 45 physician-investigators over five years into a year-long didactic curriculum which is then followed by at least two years of mentored clinical research leading to thesis publication and the award of either an M.Sc. or Ph.D. degree. We now propose under this new NIH support mechanism to provide enhanced administrative, mentoring, and curriculum structures for this model program, and to evaluate its success in generating productive career investigators. New features include expansion of curriculum elements, including Web-based learning, extension of the core curriculum to a broader audience including faculty and postdoctoral fellows, formal appraisal of educational outcomes, enhancement of minority recruitment and trainee retention, and enrichment experiences in clinical investigation for faculty and the entire academic community. The long-term objective of this project is to strengthen, enhance, and evaluate a model for training superior clinical investigators, with which we already have gained considerable experience, and to extend some of its benefits to a broader group of clinical investigators both within and external to Johns Hopkins. The specific aims are: (1) to provide and enhance an administrative and curriculum structure for the ongoing GTPCI; (2) to evaluate the success of the GTPCI model and related programs in generating successful career investigators; and (3) to provide shorter term curricula in aspects of clinical investigation to a broader group of postdoctoral fellows, faculty and active clinical investigators both within and external to Johns Hopkins. We expect that these enhancements and extensions will heighten the visibility, effectiveness and success of future careers in clinical investigation at our institution.
