Training of Graduate Veterinarians in Clinical Primate Medicine

描述(由申请人提供)：本申请的主要目标是为临床灵长类医学的兽医研究生提供全面的培训机会，以便他们能够发展必要的技能，在生物医学研究中为非人类灵长类动物提供临床护理和研究临床支持，并管理宝贵的灵长类资源。这项任务反映了中国人民医院的机构目标，自1974年以来，中国人民医院一直在提供临床灵长类医学住院医师培训。在经验丰富的灵长类兽医的直接监督下，该项目的参与者将接受非人类灵长类临床医学和外科的所有方面的培训和经验，以及与在研究中使用非人类灵长类动物有关的灵长类动物行为、繁殖群体管理和监管和伦理问题的相关领域的培训和经验。此外，常驻参与者将在临床研究项目的设计和执行方面获得实践经验，这些项目将促进非人类灵长类动物临床护理的最先进水平，或进一步将影响非人类灵长类动物的疾病表征为潜在的人类疾病研究模型。学员还将受益于医学院和兽医学院以及位于加州大学圣迭戈分校的比较医学中心提供的知识环境和培训资源。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The primary objective of this application is to provide a comprehensive training opportunity for graduate veterinarians in clinical primate medicine, so that they may develop skills necessary to assume leadership positions in providing clinical care and research clinical support for nonhuman primates in biomedical research, and in managing valuable primate resources. This mission reflects the institutional goals of the CNPRC, which has been providing residency training in clinical primate medicine continuously since 1974. Under the direct supervision of experienced primate veterinarians, participants in this program will receive training and experience in all aspects of nonhuman primate clinical medicine and surgery, as well as in the related areas of primate behavior, breeding colony management, and regulatory and ethical issues relating to the use of nonhuman primates in research. In addition, resident participants will gain practical experience in the design and execution of clinical research projects that advance the state-of-the-art of clinical care of nonhuman primates, or further characterize diseases affecting nonhuman primates as potential research models of human disease. Participants will also benefit from the intellectual environment and training resources provided by the Schools of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine, and the Center for Comparative Medicine, co-located on the UCD campus.
