Research Training in Health Protection and Preparedness

描述（由申请人提供）：生物医学科学的深刻和持续的进步并没有有效地转化为美国公众整体健康的改善。尽管有许多项目培训基础和临床研究科学家，但医学和公共卫生领域的研究培训却很少。解决这一缺陷对公共卫生至关重要。纽约大学医学院提案的目标是巩固和评估一个创新的新项目的有效性，该项目旨在培训博士后、医生研究员从事健康保护和准备研究，并在学术机构和一线公共卫生机构之间建立可持续的研究联系。在核心公共卫生学科和研究方法的严格和重点课程之后，研究员与杰出导师之一合作，在医学和公共卫生的界面上调查现实世界的挑战。组织合作伙伴包括纽约市卫生和心理卫生部、纽约市卫生和医院公司以及纽约大学备灾和救灾中心，因此能够广泛开展各种各样的健康保护和备灾研究，并双向转让经验和专门知识。最初的六名研究员（来自三个学科）现在正在完成这个为期两年的理学硕士学位授予项目，他们从事各种各样的研究项目，从移民中的结直肠癌筛查到健康素养干预，以改善急诊科儿科患者的护理，探索自然语言处理在基于医疗记录的医疗差错检测中的作用，以及对综合征监测的影响。纽约大学医学院普通内科学系致力于建立一个人口健康研究和培训中心，为建立全国公共卫生医生研究人员的供应作出有意义的贡献。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Profound and ongoing advances in biomedical science are not being translated effectively into improvements in the overall health of the American public. Though many programs train basic and clinical research scientists, training in research at the interface of medicine and public health is scarce. Addressing this deficiency is vital to the public health. The goal of the New York University School of Medicine proposal is to solidify and evaluate the effectiveness of an innovative new program to train post-doctoral, physician fellows in health protection and preparedness research and create sustainable research linkages between academic institutions and front-line public health agencies. After a rigorous and focused curriculum in core public health disciplines and research methods, fellows work with one of a cadre of outstanding mentors investigating real-world challenges at the interface of medicine and public health. Organizational partners include the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, the New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation, and the New York University Center for Catastrophe Preparedness and Response, allowing for a broad diversity in exposure to health protection and preparedness research as well as bidirectional transfer of experience and expertise. The initial cohort of six fellows (from three disciplines), now mid-way through this two year Master's in Science degree granting program, is engaged in diverse research initiatives on topics from colorectal cancer screening among immigrants to health literacy interventions to improve care of pediatric patients in emergency departments to exploring the power of natural language processing for medical record-based detection of medical errors, with implications for syndromic surveillance. The Division of General Internal Medicine at New York University School of Medicine is committed to developing a Center for Population Health Research and Training that can meaningfully contribute to building the Nation's supply of physician public health researchers.
