RESEARCH TRAINING IN RHEUMATOLOGY

这项研究培训计划的目标是两个老： 在基础研究方面具有坚实基础的学术流变学家， 培养博士在做与自身免疫相关的基础研究， 风湿病继续这样做的主要理由是， 培训计划需要更多的医生和博士。训练有素 与风湿性疾病相关的基础科学。进一步的理由 因为这个特殊的项目是独特的科学环境， 丹佛在基础免疫学和分子生物学方面， 将我们部门的研究和培训计划融入其中， 大科学环境。 一个独特的程序已经开发出来， 医学系允许医学博士获得博士学位。程度 在一个基础科学部门工作 另一 该培训计划的基本原理是优秀和广泛的临床 在该机构接受流变学培训， 用于医学博士的研究培训's. 培训计划将由威廉博士继续指导 P.医学和免疫学教授兼部门负责人Arend 关于Rheumatology将有两名助理项目主任：布莱恩博士 L. Kotzin，医学和免疫学教授，位于国家 犹太中心，以及医学副教授V. Michael Holers博士 和免疫学，并在关节炎史密斯捐赠椅子收件人 在医学院做研究。这三个人将得到帮助 另外6名项目主管和13名顾问 医学、免疫学、生物化学、儿科学、皮肤病学、细胞 生物学和药理学。这些调查人员位于 科罗拉多大学健康科学中心，丹佛退伍军人 丹佛综合医院儿童医院行政医疗中心 国家犹太免疫和呼吸中心（National Jewish Center for Immunology and Respiratory） 药 每年需要支助3名受训人员。 医学博士的将有 完成了一年的临床风湿病学强化训练 两者 M.D.和博士学员将进入2或3年的研究培训 包括研究生院的正式课程。 所有学员 出席和参加广泛的研究会议和研讨会 在免疫学、分子生物学和细胞生物学领域。来 在过去的10年里，这个培训项目在以下方面取得了优异的成绩： 两个M.D.博士学位。是为了研究事业我们 毕业生在职业发展奖的竞争中取得了成功 以及来自NIH、VA和私人基金会的独立项目赠款， 在学术界和工业界都占有一席之地。

The objective of this research training program is two- old: to train academic rheumatologists with a strong foundation in basic research, and to train Ph.D.'s in basic research related to autoimmune and rheumatologic diseases. The major rationale for the continuation of this training program is the need for more physicians and Ph.D.'s well-trained in basic science related to the rheumatic diseases. A further rationale for this particular program is the unique scientific environment in Denver in both basic immunology and molecular biology, and the successful integration of our division's research and training programs into this larger scientific environment. A unique program has been developed in this Department of Medicine to allow M.D. fellows to earn a Ph.D. degree in a basic science department during their fellowship. A further rationale for this training program is the excellent and broad clinical training in rheumatology at this institution which serves as a foundation for the research training of M.D.'s. The training program will be under the continued direction of Dr. William P. Arend, Professor of Medicine and Immunology and Head of the Division of Rheumatology. There will be two Assistant Program Directors: Dr. Brian L. Kotzin, Professor of Medicine and Immunology, located at National Jewish Center, and Dr. V. Michael Holers, Associate Professor of Medicine and Immunology, and recipient of the Smyth Endowed Chair in Arthritis Research at the medical school. These three individuals will be assisted by 6 further project Supervisors and 13 Consultants from the Departments of Medicine, Immunology, Biochemistry, Pediatrics, Dermatology, Cell Biology and Pharmacology. These investigators are located at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center, the Denver Veterans Administration Medical Center, the Children's Hospital, Denver General Hospital and National Jewish Center for Immunology and Respiratory Medicine. Support is requested for 3 trainees each year. The M.D.'s will have finished an intensive year of clinical rheumatology training. Both the M.D. and Ph.D. trainees will enter into 2 or 3 years of research training that will include formal coursework in the Graduate School. All trainees attend and participate in wide-ranging research conferences and seminars in the areas of immunology, molecular biology and cell biology. Over the past 10 years this training program has compiled an excellent record in the preparation of both M.D.'s and Ph.D.'s for research careers. Our graduates have been successful in competing for career development awards and independent project grants from the NIH, VA and private foundations, and are occupying positions both in academia and industry.
