RESEARCH TRAINING FOR VETERINARY STUDENTS

描述（由申请人提供）： 国家一级非常需要受过现代研究方法培训的熟练兽医科学家，以处理和解释使用人类疾病动物模型产生的数据。 拟议的培训计划将为俄勒冈州立大学兽医学院的兽医学生提供一个环境，以获得特定的技术和概念技能，以进行涉及生物化学和分子系统的基于假设的研究，以及人类疾病的动物模型。 兽医专业的学生将接受最先进的分子和细胞技术的培训，以系统地评估人类疾病模型。 培训计划将通过兽医学院的双学位研究生课程进行协调，并由基础和临床科学家的跨学科小组提供支持，并在俄勒冈州立大学和儿童医院进行合作计划。 科学家们在内分泌学、传染病、遗传学、肿瘤学、分子生物学、营养学、免疫学、生理学、生物化学和病理学方面都有专长。 选定的兽医学生将通过有针对性的招生程序招募，并在兽医学校的第一年后作为双学位研究生/专业学生（vME 7）入学。 学员将获得知识和技能，充分了解和评估人类疾病的各种模型，通过教学课程和公共卫生服务资助的实验室应用培训。 此外，学员将与多学科教师互动，以确定与公共卫生和比较医学相关的研究问题的范围。 他们将熟悉参与教师的实验室和临床地点正在进行的基础和临床研究，并选择一个研究问题。在选择导师和研究问题之后，学员将参与实验的设计和执行，以及分析和介绍有关研究项目的数据。 学生将在完成D.V.M.的临床培训之前进行至少一年的全职综合研究和教学课程培训。℃下 学生将被要求获得MS。或博士度并行或完成D.V.M.℃下因此，学员将获得分子生物学，遗传学，病理学，实验室动物医学以及研究设计方法学的广泛背景，为学员提供在研究团队中工作所需的技能，以满足国家对熟练兽医科学家发展的需求。

DESCRIPTION (Provided by applicant): Significant needs exist at the national level for skilled veterinary scientists who are trained in modern research methods to work with and interpret the data generated from the use of animal models of human disease. The proposed training program will provide an environment for veterinary students at the OSU, College of Veterinary Medicine to attain specific technical and conceptual skills to perform hypothesis-based research involving biochemical and molecular systems, as well as animal models of human disease. Veterinary students will be trained in state-of-the-art molecular and cellular techniques to systematically evaluate models of human disease. The training program will be coordinated through an established dual degree graduate program in the College of Veterinary Medicine and supported by an interdisciplinary group of basic and clinical scientists with ongoing collaborative programs at the OSU and Children's Hospital. The scientists have expertise in endocrinology, infectious disease, genetics, oncology, molecular biology, nutrition, immunology, physiology, biochemistry, and pathology. Selected veterinary students will be recruited through a targeted admissions process and be enrolled as dual degree graduate/professional students (vME7) after their first year in veterinary school. Trainees will gain knowledge and skills to fully understand and evaluate a variety of models of human disease through both didactic coursework and applied training in public health service funded laboratories. In addition, trainees will interact with the multidisciplinary faculty to identify the range of research problems related to public health and comparative medicine. They will acquaint themselves with the ongoing basic and clinical research studies in the laboratories and clinical sites of the participating faculty, and select a research problem. Following the selection of a preceptor and research problem, the trainee will participate in the design and performance of experiments, as well as analysis and presentation of data regarding the research project. The students will perform at least one year of full time and comprehensive research and didactic course training prior to completion of their clinical training for the D.V.M. degree. Students will be expected to earn the M.S. or Ph.D. degree concurrent or upon completion of the D.V.M. degree. Therefore, trainees will acquire a broad background in molecular biology, genetics, pathology, Iaboratory animal medicine, as well as research design methodology, to provide trainees the skills needed to work in research teams to fulfill national needs in the development of skilled veterinary-scientists with state-of-the-art research skills.
