Training Rehabilitation Clinicians for Research Careers

描述（由申请人提供）：医生没有传统的研究方法，除了在表面上，不准备他们很好的学术生涯。此外，还有越来越多的物理治疗博士（DPT），职业治疗博士（OTD）课程和临床心理学专业课程（PsyD和PhD）。这些项目培训博士水平的康复临床医生，但再次提供有限的研究培训。本建议为康复临床医师的研究性培训提供了一个方案。该提案的具体目标是：1）增加合格的康复研究人员的数量，2）提供多学科临床康复研究的密集博士后培训。该研究计划是基于教学指导，临床暴露和研究经验的具有挑战性的课程。我们将确保培训重点放在临床结果研究上，这将进一步促进康复实践的科学。拟议的计划是在一种方式，是反映其多学科性质的管理。该计划将有一个明确的基础设施管理，招聘，选举和指导。项目总监对项目有最终的责任和权力，并主持执行委员会。执行委员会由康复部门的部门主席组成，负责选择和审查该方案的潜在研究员。该委员会还全面负责该方案的内容和实施。作为接受奖学金计划的一部分，每个博士后候选人都与一位主要的研究导师配对，并成立了一个咨询委员会。咨询委员会将包括项目主任和一名高级临床导师。潜在的导师包括来自医学院，健康与康复科学学院，公共卫生研究生院，艺术与科学学院和工程学院的高级教师。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Physicians are not traditionally taught research methods except on a superficial level that does not prepare them well for academic careers. In addition, there are an increasing number of Doctorates in Physical Therapy (DPT), Occupational Therapy Doctorate (OTD) programs, and professional programs in Clinical Psychology (PsyD and PhD). These programs train rehabilitation clinicians at the doctoral level, but once again provide limited research training. This proposal provides a plan for the research training of rehabilitation clinicians. The Specific Aims for this proposal entitled Training Rehabilitation Clinicians for Research Careers (TRCRC) are: 1) To increase the number of qualified rehabilitation researchers, and 2) to provide intensive postdoctoral training in multidisciplinary clinical rehabilitation research. The program of study is based on a challenging curriculum of didactic instruction, clinical exposures, and research experiences. We will insure that training focuses on clinical outcomes research that will further the science of rehabilitation practice. The proposed program is administered in a manner that is reflective of its multidisciplinary nature. The program will have a definite infrastructure for management, recruitment, election, and mentorship. The Project Director has final responsibility and authority for the program and chairs the Executive Committee. The Executive Committee, composed of department chairs from rehabilitation-based departments, conducts selection and review of prospective fellows for the program. The committee also has overall responsibility for the content and conduct of the program. As part of acceptance into the fellowship program, each postdoctoral candidate is paired with a principal research mentor and an advisory committee is formed. The advisory committee will include the Program Director as well as a senior clinical mentor. Potential mentors include senior faculty from the School of Medicine, School of Health & Rehabilitation Sciences, the Graduate School of Public Health, School of Arts & Sciences, and the School of Engineering.
