TRAINING CURRICULUM IN PATIENT ORIENTED RESEARCH

1985年，德克萨斯大学西南分校致力于确保临床研究人员接受以患者为中心的技术方面的充分培训，以便更好地竞争研究资助并应对分子医学带来的令人兴奋的挑战。为此，德克萨斯大学西南分校提供了许多以患者为导向的研究课程，并发起了支持年轻临床研究人员的机构计划。临床研究课程奖(CRCA)提供了一个机会，以扩大现有的德克萨斯大学西南计划，以提供更深入的培训和临床研究进行的实践经验。它使我们能够将当前的年度研讨会“以患者为中心的研究技术”与研究设计、生物统计学和流行病学的深入课程结合起来。此外，我们现在可以包括一个导师计划，该计划侧重于直接的临床研究经验，包括方案设计、知情同意文件的准备、拨款撰写和手稿准备。拟议的计划将为年轻的医生和科学家提供进行临床研究所需的技能，并竞争联邦和非联邦研究资金。

In 1985, UT Southwestern administration dedicated itself to ensuring that clinical researchers would be adequately trained in patient-oriented techniques in order to better compete for research grants and to meet the exciting challenges presented by molecular medicine. To this end, UT Southwestern provided a number of courses in patient-oriented research and initiated institutional programs to support young clinical investigators. The Clinical Research Curriculum Award (CRCA) provides an opportunity to expand the existing UT Southwestern programs to provide more in-depth training and practical experience in the conduct of clinical research. It allows us to integrate the current annual symposium on "Techniques of Patient-Oriented Research" with in-depth courses in research design, biostatistics, and epidemiology. Moreover, we can now include a mentorship program which focuses on direct clinical research experiences including protocol design, preparation of informed consent documents, grant writing, and manuscript preparation. The proposed program will provide young physicians and scientists with the skills needed to conduct clinical investigations and to compete for federal and non-federal research funding.
