PHYSICIAN SCIENTIST TRAINING GRANT IN ONCOLOGY

许多机构可以培养出优秀的临床肿瘤学家， 然而，很少有机构具备所需的必要要素， 培养这些年轻的临床医生从事调查工作。San 安东尼奥有很长的历史，煮沸的基础和临床癌症 研究并在合作小组中发展了主要的专门知识 临床试验、研究药物开发、乳腺癌研究、 和骨髓移植为了在这些领域取得卓越成就， 基础和临床研究人员密切合作。 近日，通过与美国德克萨斯大学的共同努力， 健康科学中心（UTHSCSA）与癌症治疗和研究 中心（CTRC），癌症研究工作已组织成 圣安东尼奥癌症研究所（SACI），NCI指定的综合性 癌症中心如本申请中所述，圣安东尼奥可以 为学员提供适当的研究经验，教学 指导和指导，以开始临床癌症的职业生涯 research.我们的计划将确定医生候选人学员 从内科手术和放射肿瘤学一个咨询 由SACI主要成员和临床主席组成的委员会 UTHSCSA将为培训计划提供监督。学员 将获得两年的培训补助金。每个学员 将选择一名SACI成员作为他们培训的导师， 实验室研究技能。一旦选定，研究委员会将 对受训者的进度进行详细的监督。 在研究支持的第一年结束时，学员将 提交临床研究提案。该提案将 旨在产生足够的数据来启动他们的研究 事业在两年的支持结束后， 到他们的临床部门担任初级教员， 他们的职业发展。因此，该培训计划将允许 年轻的临床医生发展一个研究领域的专业知识，并带来 将这些专业知识带回他们的“家庭”临床部门。

Many institutions can train outstanding clinical oncologists, however, few institutions contain the necessary elements required to train these young clinicians for a career in investigation. San Antonio has a long history of boil basic and clinical cancer research and has developed major expertise in cooperative group trials, investigational drug development, breast cancer research, and bone marrow transplant. To obtain excellence in these areas, basic and clinical investigators have worked closely together. Recently, through the joint efforts of the University of Texas Health Science Center (UTHSCSA) and the Cancer Therapy and Research Center (CTRC), the cancer research efforts have been organized into San Antonio Cancer Institute (SACI), an NCI designated comprehensive cancer center. As described in this application, San Antonio can provide trainees with appropriate research experience, didactic instruction, and mentoring to begin a career in clinical cancer research. Our program will identify physician candidate trainees from medical, surgical, and radiation oncology. An Advisory Committee composed of key members of SACI and the clinical chairs of UTHSCSA will provide oversight for the training program. Trainees will be supported for two years on this training grant. Each trainee will select a SACI member as a mentor for their training in laboratory research skills. Once selected, Research Committee will be formed to provide detailed oversight of the trainee's progress. At the end of the first year of research support, the trainee will submit a clinical investigation proposal. The proposal will be designed to generate sufficient data to launch their research career. At the end of two years of support, th trainee will return to their clinical department as junior faculty members to continue their career development. Thus, this training program will allow young clinicians to develop an area of research expertise and bring this expertise back to their "home" clinical department.
