SHORT-TERM TRAINING ON EPIDEMIOLOGIC METHODS

流行病学研究学会（SER）的一个主要目标是鼓励和促进流行病学学生和年轻研究人员的专业发展。 这一目标已经通过提供一个论坛，与其他学生和高级流行病学家的博士水平的学生工作的论文，利用各种类型的流行病学研究在一些不同的实质性领域，但重点是癌症的互动。 这是通过在每年6月的SER年度科学会议前一天为12名学生举办为期一天的学生研讨会来实现的。 第一次讲习班始于1977年，已连续举办了22年。 研讨会的目的是为流行病学的学生提供一个机会，让他们的论文工作进行审查，批评和讨论的高级流行病学家和教师谁是目前生产力的研究人员在“真实的世界”，谁拥有各种流行病学，临床和方法学的专业知识在一个支持性和建设性的气氛。SER的当选总统是学生研讨会主席。 四名教师被选中，由成功的流行病学家和导师组成，在流行病学的各个领域工作。 参与论文水平研究的任何阶段的流行病学学生，从设计到分析，都有资格申请。 从平均45名申请人中，12名学生是根据对他们的研究方案的盲审选出的。每个教师被分配3个协议进行审查，深入评估，并在研讨会上领导讨论。 所有的学生和教师参加所有演示文稿的讨论。 这些讲习班的成功和价值清楚地体现在每年不断有新的申请人、目前参加者的书面评价信、过去参加者的书面支持信和良好的学术记录。

A primary objective of the Society for Epidemiologic Research (SER) is to encourage and foster the professional development of students of epidemiology and young investigators. This objective has been met by providing a forum for interaction with other students and senior epidemiologists for doctoral level students working on theses that utilize various types of epidemiologic studies in a number of different substantive areas but with an emphasis on cancer. This has been accomplished by conducting a one-day Student Workshop for 12 students on the day before to the SER annual scientific meeting in June of each year. The first workshop began in 1977 and has been conducted continuously for 22 years. The purpose of the workshop is to provide students of epidemiology an opportunity to have their thesis work reviewed, critiqued, and discussed by senior epidemiologists and teachers who are currently productive researchers in the "real world" and who have a variety of epidemiologic, clinical, and methodological expertise in a supportive and constructive atmosphere. The President-Elect of SER is the Student Workshop Chair. Four faculty members are chosen, consisting of accomplished epidemiologists and mentors, working in various areas of epidemiology. Epidemiology students involved in any stage of thesis-level research, from design to analysis, are eligible to apply. From an average pool of 45 applicants, 12 students are selected based on a blind review of their research protocols. Each faculty is assigned 3 protocols to review, to evaluate in depth, and lead the discussion at the workshop. All students and faculty participate in the discussion of all presentations. The success and value of these workshops has been clearly demonstrated by the consistent yearly pool of new applicants, the written letters of evaluation from current participants, the written letters of support and strong academic track records of past participants.
