HARVARD-LONGWOOD RESEARCH TRAINING IN VASCULAR SURGERY

该培训计划为学术临床医生提供为期2年的血管外科基础研究培训。它解决了血管外科医生缺乏足够的研究培训，因为它适用于临床疾病的特定领域。提供分子和细胞生物学、生物力学、凝血和血栓形成以及血管生成方面的研究培训，重点是临床相关问题，如动脉粥样硬化形成、内膜增生、假体/宿主相互作用和血栓形成。学员进行密集的研究活动的程序，辅以研究设计，伦理学，统计学和发表的研究评估课程。该计划由计划主任和导师进行并密切监督，他们拥有同行评审研究的良好记录，并且因其当前的研究活动和对培训研究员的承诺而被选中。个人导师是根据个人学员的背景和研究兴趣从该计划的教师中选择的，并在整个2年期间与学员密切相关。学员在导师的指导下开展自己的项目。实验室培训可以通过哈佛医学院和哈佛文理学院的研究生水平培训来补充，课程选择补充实验室工作。完成该计划后，学员能够独立研究，并拥有获得竞争性同行评审赠款所需的科学和研究背景;他们拥有必要的能力和知识，在加入医学院时提供翻译专业知识。学员的甄选是基于候选人的学术实践能力和职业选择。申请人是完成3年临床博士后经验（外科住院医师）或5年临床培训（即，董事会合格）。学员承诺2年的培训;申请人希望一个较短的培训期将不予考虑。只有那些在学术外科的职业目标，在血管外科的基础研究有浓厚的兴趣，是兼容的申请人。在临床培训计划期间寻求奖学金的候选人必须提供证据，证明他们在完成研究培训后将被该计划接受。受训人员不参与任何临床活动，除非与研究相关。一个由25名教师和3名外部顾问组成的执行委员会定期监测学员在该计划中的进展。该计划是由贝丝以色列女执事医疗中心血管外科部门指导的。

This training program provides 2 years of intense basic research training in vascular surgery for academic clinicians. It addresses the absence of adequate research training for vascular surgeons as it applies to specific areas of clinical disease. Research training in molecular and cell biology, biomechanics, coagulation and thrombosis, and angiogenesis is provided with a focus on clinically relevant problems such as atherogenesis, intimal hyperplasia, prosthetic/host interactions and thrombosis. Trainees pursue a program of intense research activity supplemented with course work in research design, ethics, statistics, and evaluation of published research. The program is conducted and closely supervised by the program director and mentors who have well-established records of peer-reviewed research, and who were selected both for their current research activities and their proven commitment to train research fellows. Individual mentors are chosen from the program's faculty on the basis of the background and research interest of the individual trainee, and are closely associated with the trainee throughout the 2 year period. Trainees carry out their own projects under the guidance of their mentor. Laboratory training can be supplemented by graduate level training at Harvard Medical School and Harvard's Faculty of Arts and Sciences, with course selection complementing laboratory endeavors. Upon completion of the program, trainees are capable of independent research and possess the scientific and research background needed to obtain competitive peer-reviewed grants; they have the abilities and knowledge necessary to provide translational expertise as they join medical school faculties. Selection of trainees is based on candidates' demonstrated ability and career choice of academic practice. Applicants are resident physicians who have completed either 3 years of clinical post-doctoral experience (surgical residency) or five years of clinical training (i.e., are board eligible). Trainees commit to 2 years of training; applicants desirous of a shorter training period are not be considered. Only those applicants with career goals in academical surgery, with a keen interest in basic research in vascular surgery, are compatible. Candidates pursuing a fellowship during a program of clinical training must provide evidence that they will be accepted back into that program upon completion of their research training. Trainees are not involved in any clinical activities unless research related. An executive committee composed of 25 faculty and 3 outside consultants monitor the progress of trainees in the program on a regular basis. The program is directed from the Division of Vascular Surgery at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.
