CENTER FOR CAREER DEVELOPMENT IN REPRODUCTIVE SCIENCES

哥伦比亚大学生殖科学职业发展中心（CCCDRS）的目的是在妇产科内创造一个全面的规划环境和思维模式，旨在招募、培训、职业发展和留住新的临床科学家。该计划旨在加强该部门的承诺，即在妇产科和妇女健康领域培养一支高素质的初级教师队伍。CCCDRS建立在机构资产和生殖科学中心（CRS）的基础上，该中心拥有活跃的教员、结构和培训基础和临床研究人员的过程。它还整合了我们之前在斯隆学者项目中的经验，斯隆学者项目是妇产科的一个类似但不那么全面的培训项目。通过与CRS和其他国际知名的哥伦比亚大学教师的互动，我们为CCCDRS提供了一个非常丰富的研究环境。在此次修订的提案中，教师导师的数量减少到21名主要导师，以最大限度地关注学术妇产科的职业发展。我们选择将对受训人员的调查引导到4个与妇女健康有关的主要领域：围产期和发展；生殖内分泌学与不孕症；脑-生殖激素相互作用；生殖肿瘤。八名临床顾问也将提供，以促进从我们的重点基础科学的转化方法。导师和顾问的选择非常谨慎，其标准是a)与生殖和妇女健康相关的一流资助研究，b)培训记录，特别是医学博士培训记录，以及c)与生殖健康和妇产科的互动。CCCDRS目前有相当数量的内部候选人，将通过广告和宣传征聘外部候选人。我们目前至少有两名内部候选人。这一培训计划得到了机构的大力支持，并得到了部门坚定的财政承诺。妇产科承担CRS的财政责任，并坚定地致力于这个项目，这将促进初级教师的培训。预计CCCDRS的成功将与该系的学术成就以及我们专业的未来保持一致；最终，这些临床科学家骨干的成熟，我们未来的领导者，将确保在妇产科和妇女健康相关主题的学术进步的成功。

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.
