Pediatric Endocrine/Diabetes Physician Scientists

描述（由申请人提供）： 耶鲁大学医学院正在寻求成为糖尿病培训的卓越中心之一，这将使聪明的年轻儿科医生能够作为糖尿病的独立研究者在儿科内分泌学领域建立学术生涯。在这个K12应用程序中，我们要求每年3名医生科学家的津贴，为期5年。耶鲁大学拥有一系列令人印象深刻的资源，将支持这一计划，包括一个DERC，单独的儿童和成人GCRC，JDRF中心的研究hypothyroidism，儿科药理学研究单位，儿童健康研究中心，小鼠代谢表型中心，核磁共振中心和一个新的450，000平方米。足部临床科学研究机构。项目主任和教师导师都是备受尊敬和富有成效的调查人员，他们拥有广泛的同行评审赠款支持，为学员的项目提供资金。我们的教师有着广泛的合作历史悠久，在年轻的医生科学家的职业发展的杰出记录。我们的医生科学家学员可以选择五个主要的研究培训领域（T1和T2 DM的病理生理学，低血糖/神经生物学，糖尿病的免疫生物学和糖尿病的行为/心理社会方面），每个领域有4-6名初级和次级导师。我们教学研究的核心是K30调查医学计划，该计划将指导研究培训与严格的必修和选修课程课程沿着两条途径相结合，即以患者为导向和以疾病为导向。成功完成课程工作和论文项目将允许学员获得博士学位。是由医学部颁发的非博士候选人的替代课程包括罗伯特·伍德约翰逊临床学者计划提供的定量临床流行病学课程和耶鲁儿童健康研究中心提供的青年研究者研讨会系列。糖尿病研究培训的三个卓越中心组成的“联盟”将使我们能够在培训工作和创新招聘工作方面进行合作。詹姆斯·加文博士，ADA的前总统和即将上任的莫尔豪斯医学院院长，已经表示他有兴趣将他的学校与我们的非裔美国人学员招聘计划联系起来。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Yale University School of Medicine is seeking to be one of the centers of excellence in diabetes training that will allow bright young pediatricians to establish academic careers in pediatric endocrinology as independent investigators in diabetes. In this K12 application, we are requesting 3 Physician Scientist stipends per year for 5 years. Yale has an impressive array of resources that will support this program, including a DERC, separate Children and Adult GCRC's, JDRF Center for the Study of Hypoglycemia, Pediatric Pharmacology Research Unit, Child Health Research Center, Mouse Metabolic Phenotyping Center, NMR Center and a new 450,000 sq. foot clinical science research facility. The Program Director and faculty mentors are highly respected and productive investigators with extensive peer-reviewed grant support to fund trainees' projects. Our faculty has a long history of extensive collaborations and an outstanding track record in the career development of young physician scientists. Our physician scientist trainees can choose between five major areas of research training (pathophysiology of T1 and T2 DM, hypoglycemia/neurobiology, immunobiology of diabetes and behavioral/psychosocial aspects of diabetes) and 4-6 primary and secondary mentors within each area. A centerpiece of our didactic studies is the K30 Investigative Medicine Program that combines mentored research training with a rigorous curriculum of required and elective courses along two pathways, i.e. patient-oriented and disease-oriented. Successful completion of course work and thesis project will allow trainees to receive a Ph.D. that is awarded through the Department of Medicine. Alternative curricula for non-Ph.D, candidates include the Quantitative Clinical Epidemiology course offered by the Robert Wood Johnson Clinical Scholars Program and the Seminar Series for Young Investigators offered by the Yale Child Health Research Center. The formation of a "consortium" of three centers of excellence in diabetes research training will allow us to collaborate in training efforts as well as in innovative recruitment effort. Dr. James Gavin, former President of the ADA and incoming President of Morehouse School of Medicine, has indicated his interest in linking his school to our program in the recruitment of African American trainees.
