CLINICAL RESEARCH CURRICULUM AWARD

明尼苏达大学学术健康中心（AHC）建议通过应用新的临床研究课程奖（K30）来扩大其临床研究培训计划。涉及AHC的所有学院（牙科，医学，护理，药学和公共卫生），这个多学科项目的结果是科学硕士（MS）研究生院临床研究学位。该计划在很大程度上借鉴了AHC内的大型和良好支持的临床研究基地和培养成功的临床研究学者的历史。它以生物统计学、流行病学、伦理学、统计计算、临床研究和其他相关领域的正式课堂作业为基础。它需要一篇基于原始临床研究项目的论文，一份口头辩护和一份可发表的手稿。该项目目前有21名学员。在此培训补助金的支持下，我们预计每年将有20名学员参加2-4年的学术课程。该项目将招收来自AHC所有临床学科的学员，目前包括大约1000名住院医生和研究员。此外，征聘受训人员将包括在全国范围内征聘。学员拥有高级卫生专业学位（临床领域的医学博士、DDS、DMD、DO、DC、OD、药学博士或博士），并完成了全部或大部分临床培训。严格的录取标准和对培训过程中每一步的细致质量监控，将造就训练有素的临床学者，为患者和公众的健康做出贡献的毕业生。该课程基于7个具有可衡量结果的学习目标（教学课程作业，拨款写作和“动手”项目的口头答辩），并关注3个一般领域（知识，技能和道德）。

The Academic Health Center (AHC) of the University of Minnesota proposes to expand its Training Program in Clinical Research with this application of the new Clinical Research Curriculum Award (K30). Involving all of the schools of the AHC (Dentistry, Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy and Public Health), this multi-disciplinary program results in a Master of Science (MS) Graduate School degree in Clinical Research. The program draws heavily on the large and well-supported clinical research base within the AHC and a history of training successful clinical research scholars. It is grounded on formal classroom work in biostatistics, epidemiology, ethics, statistical computing, clinical research and other related fields. It requires a thesis based on an original clinical research project, an oral defense and a publishable manuscript. The program has a current class of 21. With- the support of this training grant, we anticipate a total of 20 trainees per year in a 2-4 year academic program. The program will enroll trainees drawn from all the clinical disciplines of the AHC which currently includes approximately 1,000 residents and fellows. In addition, recruiting of trainees will include national searches. Trainees have an advanced health professional degree (MD, DDS, DMD, DO, DC, OD, PharmD, or PhD in a clinical field) and have completed all or a substantial part of their clinical training. Rigorous admission standards and careful quality monitoring of each step in the training experience should result in graduates who are well trained clinical scholars and who will become contributors to the health of patients and the public. The curriculum is based on 7 learning objectives with measurable outcomes (didactic course work, grant writing and oral defense of a "hands on" project) with attention to 3 general areas (knowledge, skills and ethics).
