Medical Student Summer Research

描述（由申请人提供）威斯康星医学院这个长期的培训项目的目标是为医学博士候选人提供一个健全的、短期的研究经验，在校外资助的全职教师的监督下，鼓励和激励医科学生追求学术医学的职业生涯。导师是医师科学家，他们已经成功地平衡和整合了他们的研究兴趣和病人护理责任。学生在导师的研究实验室或诊所全职工作长达12周，参与研究的各个方面，包括制定研究假设，设计实验，收集，分析和解释研究数据，以及准备口头报告和出版的材料。通过为期5周的以案例为基础的“研究中的科学诚信和伦理”课程，为负责任的研究行为提供辅助培训，在该课程中，教师作为小组主持人和案例主持人参与。建议建立一个行政结构，以促进津贴和共享财政资源的有效利用，并提供行政支持、监管监督和项目评估。评估计划包括对夏季研究奖学金申请者和获奖人的特点、研修生研究经历的质量、研究经历对研修生职业规划的影响等进行总结和形成性评价。我们特别希望为那些对学术医学事业感兴趣并希望发展自己的研究技能的少数族裔学生建立师徒关系

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant)The objectives of this long-standing training program at the Medical College of Wisconsin are to provide a sound, short-term research experience for M.D. candidates under the supervision of an extramurally-funded member of the full-time faculty and to encourage and stimulate medical students to pursue careers in academic medicine. The preceptors are physician scientists who have been successful in balancing and integrating their research interests and patient care responsibilies.Students work full-time for up to 12 weeks in the preceptor's research laboratory or clinic, participating in all aspects of the research including formulation of research hypotheses, design of experiments, collection, analysis and interpretation of research data, and preparation of material for oral presentation and publication. Ancillary training is provided in the responsible conduct of research through a 5-week, case- based "Scientific Integrity and Ethics in Research" course in which faculty participate as small group facilitators and case moderators.An administrative structure is proposed that promotes efficient use of stipends and shared fiscal resources and provides for administrative support, regulatory oversight, and program assessment. The Evaluation plan includes summative and formative measures of the characteristics of the applicant pool for summer research fellowships and those that receive awards, the quality of the trainees research experience, and the effect of the research experience on the career plans of the trainees. We especially want to foster mentoring relationships for minority students who are interested in careers in academic medicine and want to develop their investigative skills
