CENTER FOR CAREER DEVELOPMENT IN REPRODUCTIVE SCIENCES

哥伦比亚生殖科学职业发展中心(CCCDRS)的目的是在妇产科内创造一个整体的计划环境和心态，旨在招聘、培训、职业发展和留住新的临床医生科学家。该方案旨在加强该部门的承诺，在妇产科和妇女健康领域培养一支高能力、互动性强的初级教员队伍。CCCDRS建立在机构资产和生殖科学中心(CRS)的基础上，CRS拥有活跃的教师、结构和基础和临床研究人员的培训过程。它还将我们以前的经验与现已停止的斯隆奖学金计划整合在一起，这是OB/GYN系的一个类似但不太全面的培训计划。通过CRS和其他国际知名的哥伦比亚大学教员与系和CRS的互动，我们为CCCDRS建立了一个极其丰富的研究环境。在这项修订建议中，教师导师的人数已减少至21名初级导师，以最大限度地关注学术OB/GYN的职业发展。我们选择将受训人员的调查引导到四个与妇女健康相关的主要领域：围产期和发育；生殖内分泌学和不孕不育；脑-生殖激素相互作用；生殖肿瘤学。我们还将提供八名临床顾问，以促进我们强调基础科学的翻译方法。导师和顾问的选择非常谨慎，标准是a)获得一流资助的与生殖和妇女健康相关的研究，b)培训方面的记录，特别是医学博士，以及c)与CRS和妇产科的互动。目前，CCCDRS有相当大的内部人才库，将通过广告和推广招聘外部人才库。我们目前至少有2名内部候选人。对这一培训计划有大量的机构支持，也有坚定的部门财政承诺。妇产科承担了CRS的财政责任，并坚定地致力于这一计划，该计划将促进初级教师的培训。可以预见，CCCDRS的成功与科室的学术成就以及我们专业的未来是一致的；最终，这支临床科学家队伍的成熟，我们未来的领导者，将确保在学术OB/GYN和妇女健康相关主题方面取得成功。

The purpose of the Columbia Center for Career Development in Reproductive Sciences (CCCDRS) is to create an overall programmatic environment and mindset within the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology aimed at the recruitment, training, career development and retention of new clinician scientists. This program will aim to strengthen the Department's commitment to develop a highly competent interacting cadre of junior faculty in OB/GYN and Women's Health. The CCCDRS builds on Institutional assets and on the Center for Reproductive Sciences (CRS) which has an active faculty, structure and training process for both basic and clinical investigators. It also integrates our previous experience with the now discontinued Sloane scholars program, a similar but less comprehensive training program in the department of OB/GYN. Through CRS and other internationally reputed Columbia faculty with whom the Department and CRS interact, we have assembled an extremely rich research environment for the CCCDRS. In this revised proposal, the number of faculty mentors has been reduced to 21 primary mentors to maximize the focus on career development in academic OB/GYN. We have chosen to channel the investigation of trainees into 4 major women's health-related areas: Perinatology and development; reproductive endocrinology and infertility; brain-reproductive hormonal interactions; reproductive oncology. Eight clinical advisors will also be available to facilitate a translational approach from our emphasis on basic science. Mentors and advisors have been chosen with great care and with the criteria of a) first rate funded research of relevance to reproduction and women's health, b) track record in training, particularly MD's, and c) interaction with the CRS and OB/GYN Department. A sizeable internal pool of candidates is currently available for the CCCDRS and an external pool will be recruited through advertising and promotion. We presently have at least 2 internal candidates. Substantial institutional support exists for this training program as well as a firm Departmental financial commitment. The OB/GYN Department assumes fiscal responsibility for the CRS and is firmly committed to this program which will foster the training of junior faculty. It is envisioned that the success of the CCCDRS is aligned with the academic accomplishments of the Department as well as the future of our specialty; ultimately, the maturation of this cadre of clinician scientists, our future leaders, will ensure the success for the progress in academic OB/GYN and women's health related topics.
