U.W. Radiological Sciences Training Program

描述(由申请者提供)：该培训计划为将物理学应用于癌症医学诊断和治疗方面的职业生涯准备博士后研究生和博士后研究人员。现有的研究专业涵盖了为患者治疗、疾病诊断和应用于癌症的基础物理研究提供物理支持的所有领域。医学物理学、放射学、人类肿瘤学(放射肿瘤学)、肿瘤学、工程物理学和生物医学工程系的培训师与其他临床和基础科学研究人员保持广泛的研究合作。团队主导的翻译研究包括肿瘤学系的放射治疗和放射生物学，放射学系的传统X射线、数字、CT、MRI、超声波和PET成像，以及物理系和核工程学系的辐射物理学。受训者是这些研究项目的亲密参与者，作为合作者，发表联合研究文章，并在外部资助的赠款和合同中担任调查人员。广泛的教职员工联系提供领导和监督。除了研究活动和辅修科目要求外，作为医学物理学研究生的博士前实习生至少需要27个学分，以支持医学物理培训并面向他们的研究专业。鼓励博士后学员通过审核适当的课程来拓宽和深化他们的学术培训。受训者在当地、国家和国际会议上举办研讨会、参加座谈会、展示研究成果，并与他人合著文章和报告。一年一度的培训资助研讨会为学员提供了向医学物理学和合作学院展示研究成果的额外机会。通过这种方式，这个项目的学员做好了充分的准备，在将物理学应用于癌症治疗、诊断和预防方面，担任研究人员和院士的领导职位。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This training program prepares predoctoral graduate students and postdoctoral researchers for careers in the application of physics to the medical diagnosis and treatment of cancer. Available research specializations encompass all areas of physics support for patient treatment, disease diagnosis, and basic physics research applied to cancer. Trainers in the Department of Medical Physics, Radiology, Human Oncology (Radiation Oncology), Oncology, Engineering Physics, and Bio-medical Engineering maintain a broad spectrum of research collaborations with other clinical and basic science researchers. Translational, team driven research includes radiation therapy and radiation biology with the Department of Oncology, traditional x-ray, digital, CT, MRI, ultrasound, and PET imaging with the Department of Radiology, and radiation physics with the Departments of Physics and Nuclear Engineering. Trainees are intimate participants in these research programs as collaborators, publishing joint research articles, and performing as investigators in extramurally funded grants and contracts. Extensive faculty contact provides leadership and supervision. Beyond research activities and minor subject requirements, predoctoral trainees as graduate students in Medical Physics take at least twenty-seven credits supportive of medical physics training and oriented towards their research specialization. Postdoctoral trainees are encouraged to broaden and deepen their academic training by auditing appropriate courses. Trainees give seminars, attend colloquia, and present research results at local, national, and international meetings, and co-author articles and reports. An annual training grant symposium provides additional opportunity for trainees to present research results to the Medical Physics and collaborating faculty. In this way, trainees of this program are well prepared to assume leadership positions as researchers and academicians in the application of physics to cancer treatment, diagnosis and prevention.
