From Bench to Bedside: Introduction to Clinical Research

描述（由申请人提供）“从长凳到床边：介绍临床研究”是一个为期10周的暑期课程，旨在介绍上升的第二和上升的第四年医学生的挑战和回报以患者为导向，以人口为基础的研究。预计在医学院教育的早期将医学生引入临床研究领域将是激发他们从事临床研究职业兴趣的最有效途径。该计划涉及由K30赞助的临床研究，流行病学和统计培训（CREST）计划的核心教师以及UofL健康科学中心的其他主要研究人员提供的一系列讲座和教学会议。除了流行病学、生物统计学和负责任地开展研究方面的正式教学外，学员还在导师团队的指导下参加一个研究项目。学员的指导团队由一名基础科学家、一名临床科学家和一名CREST核心教员组成。受训者将在基础科学研究人员的实验室工作，并与临床科学家一起工作，以了解基础科学如何转化为临床实践，以及会产生什么样的后果（即，成本和效益），以保障人民的健康。暑期课程的最终目标是招募医学生进入CREST内的联合MD-MSPH学位课程，或进入临床调查科学的后MD硕士和博士培训。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant)The "From Bench to Bedside: Introduction to Clinical Research" is a 10-week summer program designed to introduce rising second and rising fourth year medical students to the challenges and rewards of patient-oriented, population-based research. It is anticipated that introducing medial students to the field of clinical research early in their medical school education will be the most effective way of stimulating their interest in pursuing a career in clinical research. The program involves a series of lectures and didactic sessions given by members of the core faculty of the K30 sponsored Clinical Research, Epidemiology and Statistics Training (CREST) Program and by other leading researchers at the UofL Health Science Center. In addition to formal instruction in epidemiology, Biostatistics and the responsible conduct of research, trainees participate in a research project under the direction of a team of mentors. The trainee's mentoring team is composed of a basic scientist, a clinician scientist, and a member of the CREST core faculty. Trainees will work in the laboratory of the basic science researcher and with the clinician scientist to see how basic science translates into clinical practice and with what consequences (i.e., costs and benefits) for the health of the population. The ultimate objective of the summer program is to recruit medical students into the joint MD-MSPH degree program within CREST or into the post MD masters and PhD training in the clinical investigation sciences.
