Univ. of Cincinnati Clinical Curriculum Award

辛辛那提大学(UC)临床研究课程奖的总体目标 应用是提高辛辛那提医科大学临床研究培训的质量 辛辛那提儿童医院医疗中心和辛辛那提退伍军人事务医疗中心。 为了准备这一申请，我们对三个主要培训项目进行了需求调查 医疗中心。我们的调查显示，对结构化教学临床研究课程的需求 这三个医疗中心很大，但许多相关的课程和轨道要么不存在，要么在 有时给临床实习生带来不便。奖学金和项目主任表示-如果CRCA 实施--每年约有50名学员“肯定”或“可能”参加。因此，UC CRCA申请，由医学博士Joel Tsevat与医学博士Stephen Daniels合作指导 来自三个医疗中心的同事们有两个具体的目标：1)开发或扩大新的项目 流行病学(临床流行病学/临床有效性和分子流行病学)和 临床治疗学(临床试验和转化研究)。为了实现这一目标，我们将发展 在现有流行病学和生物统计学的基础上，在CRCA的前3年开设新课程 课程设置。2)在临床研究的所有核心领域增加方法学专门知识，并促进交叉 在所有学员中，目标2将设立一套四个暑期课程，供所有学员使用- 临床流行病学导论，生物统计学导论，分子流行病学：使用 流行病学研究中的生物标记物和研究中的伦理(负责任的研究行为)-以及 一个新的要求每月举行的研讨会，名为临床研究学者研讨会。再加上 非常强大的资金支持和大学领导的热情，我们预计CRCA 将对辛辛那提的临床研究培训产生巨大影响。

The overarching goal of the University of Cincinnati (UC) Clinical Research Curriculum Award (CRCA) application is to improve the quality of training in clinical research at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center, Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, and the Cincinnati Veterans Affairs Medical Center. In preparation for this application, we conducted a needs survey of all major training programs in the three medical centers. Our survey showed that the demand for structured didactic clinical research coursework at the three medical centers is large, but many relevant courses and tracks either do not exist or are offered at times inconvenient to clinical trainees. Fellowship and program directors indicated that - if the CRCA were implemented - each year, approximately 50 trainees would "definitely" or "likely" participate. Thus, the UC CRCA application, to be directed by Joel Tsevat, MD, MPH in collaboration with Stephen Daniels, MD, PhD and colleagues from the three medical centers has two specific aims: 1) To develop or expand new program tracks in Epidemiology (Clinical Epidemiology/Clinical Effectiveness and Molecular Epidemiology) and Clinical Therapeutics (Clinical Trials and Translational Research). To accomplish this aim, we will develop new courses over the first 3 years of the CRCA, building on the existing epidemilogy and biostatistics curriculum. 2) To increase methodological expertise in all core areas of clinical research and to foster cross- fertilization among all trainees, Aim 2 will institute a set of four summer courses required by all trainees - Introduction to Clinical Epidemiology, Introduction to Biostatistics, Molecular Epidemiology: The Use of Biomarkers in Epidemiologic Research, and Ethics in Research (Responsible Conduct of Research) - and one new required monthly seminar, to be called the Clinical Research Scholars Seminar. Coupled with the very strong financial support and enthusiasm of the leadership of the University, we anticipate that the CRCA will have a huge impact on clinical research training in Cincinnati.
