Pediatrician-Scientist Training Program

描述(由申请人提供)：这是一份修订后的儿科医生-科学家机构培训补助金申请，将以波士顿儿童医院医学部为中心。它的目的是支持将继续从事学术儿科职业的儿科医生的博士后培训。要求每年提供五个博士后职位，为期五年。学员平均每人将接受两年的培训。培训人员由儿童医院的30名高级学术和科学负责人组成，其中包括所有13个科长。学员将根据严格和明确的标准，从医学部13个部门的临床和研究专题奖学金培训计划中挑选出来。他们将利用由奖学金计划办公室和教师发展办公室(也协助波士顿儿童医院所有其他博士后研究员)提供的支持性环境。所有受训人员将参加由儿童医院临床研究计划主办的研究方法方面的既定课程。学员将选择两种途径中的一种。那些从事临床研究的人将在哈佛公共卫生学院接受临床研究方法的教学指导，可以选择获得硕士学位。参与实验室研究的人将学习分子生物学、遗传学和生物统计学课程。所有受训人员都将接受伦理科学行为方面的指导。被推荐的导师在培训儿科医生-科学家与博士和非MD科学家-方面有着良好的记录：在过去十年中，他们培训了432名医学博士和314名博士。在432名医学博士中，超过186人是多产的学术内科科学家，其中140人是儿科医生。其中，教授、副教授和助理教授分别为13人、23人和85人。他们中有29名系主任或司科长。这些前实习生目前总共持有86笔NIH补助金，并已培训了285多名第二代实习生(包括18名教授、37名副教授和62名助理教授)。这笔培训补助金提供了机会，让越来越多的儿科医生在久经考验的导师的指导下，进入严格的临床和板凳培训环境，以便他们能够为下一代儿科科学家学术做出贡献。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a revised application for an institutional training grant for pediatric physician-scientists that will be centered in the Department of Medicine, Children's Hospital Boston. It is intended to support the postdoctoral training of pediatricians who will continue on to careers in academic pediatrics. Five postdoctoral positions per year are requested, for each of five years. Trainees will each train for an average of two years. The training faculty consist of 30 senior academic and scientific leaders at Children's Hospital, including all 13 Division Chiefs. Trainees will be selected, using rigorous and well-defined criteria, from those in clinical and research subspecialty fellowship training programs within the 13 Divisions within the Department of Medicine. They will take advantage of a supportive environment anchored by a Fellowship Program Office and an Office of Faculty Development (which also assists all other postdoctoral fellows at Children's Hospital Boston). All trainees will take an established course in research methods hosted by the Clinical Research Program of Children's Hospital. Trainees will pursue one of two tracks. Those in the clinical research track will receive didactic instruction at the Harvard School of Public Health in clinical research methods, with the choice of receiving an M.P.H. Those involved in laboratory research will take courses in molecular biology and genetics as well as biostatistics. All trainees will receive instruction in ethical scientific conduct. The proposed mentors have a strong track record in training pediatrician-scientists alongside PhD, non-MD scientists: during the past decade, they have trained 432 MDs and 314 PhDs. Of the 432 MDs, over 186 are productive academic physician-scientists, 140 of whom are pediatricians. Of these, 13, 23, and 85 are at the academic level of professor, associate professor, and assistant professor, respectively. There are 29 Department Chairs or Division/Section Chiefs among them. These former trainees currently hold in aggregate 86 NIH grants and have themselves trained over 285 second-generation trainees (including 18 professors, 37 associate professors, and 62 assistant professors). This training grant offers the opportunity to bring an increasing number of pediatricians into rigorous clinical and bench training environments under the direction of proven mentors, so that they can contribute to the next generation of academic pediatrician scientists.
