Program in Pediatric Transfusion Medicine

描述（由申请人提供）： 在过去的20年里，随着我们对疾病的病理生理学和分子基础的理解的增长以及医疗管理的复杂性的增加，提供越来越复杂的产品和服务的输血医学（TM）领域变得更加复杂。虽然这一领域对人力的需求有所增加，但进入这一领域的年轻调查员人数滞后，这一趋势可能会限制这一领域的发展。这种模式的一个主要例子发生在儿科TM中，这是一般TM中的一个专门领域。没有正式的培训方案来满足感兴趣的个人的需要，也没有正式的培训方案来替代因自然减员而失去的领域的高级调查员。建立一个招募年轻医生进入这一领域的途径将缓解这一问题。我们提出了一个建议，在儿科TM计划，以满足在这方面的需求，在丹佛的科罗拉多大学和健康科学中心（UCDHSC）和Bonfils血液中心（BBC）在丹佛，CO。使用最初由PI开发的TMAA培训计划，目前在UCDHSC运行，我们将通过标准指导技术和基于案例的研究扩展教育经验，并为临床儿科TM主题开发基于计算机的学习计划。该计划的重点是指导该地区的医学生和高级医学实习生，还将为居民和临床研究员提供教育经验。临床和研究经验将提供给学习者。该计划将有几个广泛的目标：1）吸引优秀的年轻研究人员到儿科TM领域; 2）吸引有前途的临床医生和科学家谁可以通过课程开发和实施服务于儿科TM领域; 3）鼓励发展能够提供儿科TM适当指导的教师; 4）促进研究、医疗和血液服务候选人之间的信息、评估和教育技术交流。该提案将在从事TM培训的大型教师，Bonfils血液中心，科罗拉多地区血液中心，儿童医院和UCDHSC的儿科临床和转化研究中心以及UCDHSC的临床科学博士培训计划的帮助和资源下实现这些目标。在实现这些目标的过程中，该计划将提高婴儿和儿童的医疗保健和医疗成果。 (End摘要）

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Over the past 20 years as our understanding of the pathophysiology and molecular basis of disease has grown and the complexity of medical management has increased, the field of Transfusion Medicine (TM) which provides increasingly more sophisticated products and services has become more complicated. While the need for manpower in this area has increased, the number of young investigators entering the area has lagged, a trend that may limit the development of the field. A prime example of this pattern has occurred in Pediatric TM, a specialized area within general TM. There are no formal training programs to meet the needs of interested individuals and to replace senior investigators in the area lost by attrition. An established pathway to recruit young physicians into this area would alleviate the problem. We present a proposal for a program in Pediatric TM to meet the needs in this area at the University of Colorado at Denver and Health Sciences Center (UCDHSC) and the Bonfils Blood Center (BBC) in Denver, CO. This proposal seeks to create a complete curriculum in Pediatric TM. Using a training program initially developed by the PI with a TMAA and currently operating at UCDHSC, we will extend education experiences with standard instruction techniques and case-based studies and develop computer-based learning programs for clinical Pediatric TM topics. Focusing on instruction of medical students and senior medical trainees in the area, the program will also provide educational experiences for residents and clinical fellows. Clinical and research experience will be provided to the learners. The program will have several broad goals: 1) to attract outstanding young investigators to the field of Pediatric TM; 2) to attract promising clinicians and scientists who can serve the field of Pediatric TM through curriculum development and implementation; 3) to encourage development of a faculty capable of providing appropriate instruction in Pediatric TM; 4) to facilitate exchange of information, evaluation and educational techniques among research, medical and blood service candidates. The proposal will achieve these goals with the help and resources of a large faculty engaged in TM training, the Bonfils Blood Center, Colorado's regional blood center, the Pediatric Clinical and Translational Research Center at The Children's Hospital and UCDHSC and the Clinical Sciences PhD Training Program at UCDHSC. In achieving these goals, the program will enhance healthcare and medical outcomes for infants and children. (End of Abstract)
