Fellowship in Health Services Research

描述(由申请者提供)：不同类型的健康专业人员为健康服务研究(HSR)的开展带来了独特的视角。申请人建议培养医学、药学和护理学博士后，从事卫生服务研究。南加州大学卫生服务研究联谊会的使命是(1)在应用研究环境中进行卫生服务研究，(2)促进卫生保健系统对不同患者群体的响应能力的改善，包括作为直接提供者和高铁研究人员的少数族裔、贫困和其他未得到充分服务的患者，(3)在卫生服务研究中充当榜样和导师。拟议的培训计划是南加州大学医学院、药剂学和护理学院之间的合作伙伴关系。它的总部设在一个跨学科的中心，即医疗保健和研究中心。 医学、护理和药学的学术教职员工往往在完成专业培训后成为教员，而这些培训并不能让他们做好进行卫生服务研究的准备。在医学和药学领域，大多数博士(MD、PharmD)和研究生培训计划旨在培养高级医疗从业者，而不是医疗服务研究人员。博士护理研究培训计划通常也不包括专门针对高铁的培训和技能获取。其结果是，护理、药剂学和一些医学专业，如儿科，在全国卫生服务研究人员中的代表性仍然很低。这项奖学金旨在培养一名终身教职的卫生服务研究员。该课程以布兰德所描述的课程为基础。 拟议的计划受益于MUSC正在进行的培训计划。申请者将与其他成功的奖学金项目一起培训研究员，其中包括一些高铁培训。这些计划包括学术通才奖学金、由HRSA资助的初级保健学术单位计划(家庭医学、普通儿科和普通内科医学之间的合作)和药学研究成果计划。 在2-3年的全日制团契期间，医生、药剂师和护士将接受高铁的教学指导和实践经验，以及在学术医学方面取得成功所必需的专业技能。这些研究员将参加生物测量学和流行病学系的临床研究理学硕士项目，并完成研究项目和拨款申请。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Different types of health professionals bring unique perspectives to the conduct of health services research (HSR). The applicant proposes to train postdoctoral fellows from Medicine, Pharmacy, and Nursing to perform health services research. The mission of the MUSC Fellowship in Health Services Research is to (1) Conduct health services research in an applied research setting, (2) Stimulate improvement in the healthcare system's responsiveness to diverse groups of patients, including minority, poor and other underserved patients, both as direct providers and HSR researchers, (3) Serve as role models and mentors in health services research. The proposed training program is a partnership between the Colleges of Medicine, Pharmacy and Nursing at MUSC. It is based in an interdisciplinary center, the Center for Health Care and Research. Academic faculty in medicine, nursing and pharmacy often become faculty members after completing professional training that does not prepare them to conduct health services research. In medicine and pharmacy, most doctoral (MD, PharmD) and postgraduate training programs are designed to develop advanced healthcare practitioners rather than health services researchers. PhD nursing research training programs also typically do not include training and skills acquisition specific to HSR. The result is that the disciplines of nursing, pharmacy and some specialties in medicine such as pediatrics continue to be underrepresented among health services researchers nationally. This fellowship is geared toward producing a tenure track health services researcher. The curriculum is based on that described by Bland. The proposed program benefits from ongoing training programs at MUSC. The applicant will train fellows in conjunction with other successful fellowship programs that include some training in HSR. Those programs include the Academic Generalist Fellowship, the HRSA-funded Academic Units in Primary Care Program (a collaboration between Family Medicine, General Pediatrics and General Internal Medicine), and the Pharmacy Research Outcomes Program. During a 2 - 3 year full time fellowship physicians, pharmacists and nurses will receive didactic instruction and practical experience in HSR and the professional skills necessary for success in academic medicine. The fellows will participate in the Master of Science in Clinical Research program in the Department of Biometry and Epidemiology and complete research projects and grant applications.
