Harvard-Longwood Research Training in Vascular Surgery

该培训计划为学术临床医生提供为期两年的血管外科基础研究培训。它解决了血管外科医生缺乏足够的研究培训，因为它适用于临床疾病的特定领域。提供分子和细胞生物学、生物力学、凝血血栓形成和血管生成方面的研究培训，重点是临床相关问题，如动脉粥样硬化形成、内膜增生、假体/宿主相互作用和血栓形成。学员进行密集的研究活动计划，并辅以研究设计，统计和评估的课程工作。 发表的研究。该计划由计划主任，联合主任和导师进行并密切监督，他们拥有同行评审研究的良好记录，并且被选为当前的研究活动和他们对培训研究员的承诺。个别导师是根据个别受训者的背景和研究兴趣从该计划的教师中选出的，并在整个两年期间与受训者密切相关。学员在导师的指导下开展自己的项目。实验室培训可以通过哈佛医学院和哈佛文理学院的研究生水平培训来补充，课程选择补充实验室工作。完成该计划后，学员能够独立研究，并拥有获得竞争性同行评审赠款所需的科学和研究背景;他们拥有必要的能力和知识，在加入医学院时提供翻译专业知识。学员的甄选是基于候选人的学术实践能力和职业选择。申请人是住院医师谁已经完成了两年，三年或五年（即董事会资格）的研究生外科培训。受训者承诺接受两年的培训;希望接受较短培训期的受训者不予考虑。只有那些职业目标在 对血管外科基础研究有浓厚兴趣的学术外科医生是相容的。在临床培训项目期间寻求奖学金的候选人必须提供证据，证明他们在完成研究培训后将被该项目接受。受训人员不参与任何临床活动，除非与研究相关。

This training program provides two years of basic research training in vascular surgery for academic clinicians. It addresses the absence of adequate research training for vascular surgeons as it applies to specific areas of clinical disease. Research training in molecular and cell biology, biornechanics, coagulation thrombosis, and angiogenesis is provided with a focus on clinically relevant problems such as atherogenesis, intimal hyperplasia, prosthetic/host interactions and thrombosis. Trainees pursue a program of intense research activity supplemented with course work in research design, statistics, and evaluation of published research. The program is conducted and closely supervised by the program director, co-director and mentors who have well-established records of peer-reviewed research, and who were selected both for the current research activities and their proven commitment to train research fellows. Individual mentors are chosen from the program's faculty on the basis of the background and research interest of the individual trainee, and are closely associated with the trainee throughout the two-year period. Trainees carry out theirown projects under guidance of their mentor. Laboratory training can be supplemented by graduate level training at Harvard Medical School and Harvard's Faculty of Arts and Sciences, with course selection complementing laboratory endeavors. Upon completion of the program, trainees are capable of independent research and possess the scientific and research background needed to obtain competitive peer-reviewed grants; they have the abilities and knowledge necessary to provide translational expertise as they join medical school faculties. Selection of the trainees is based on candidates' demonstrated ability and career choice of academic practice. Applicants are resident physicians who have completed two, three or five years (i.e. board eligible) of post-graduate surgical training. Trainees commit to two years of training; trainees desiring a shorter training period are not considered. Only those applicants with career goals in academic surgery, with a keen interest in basic resarch in vascular surgery, are compatible. Candidates pursuing a fellowship during a program of clinical traning must provide evidence that they will be accepted back tinto that program upon completion of their research training. Trainees are not involved in any clinical activities unless research related.
