Research track radiology residency

描述（由申请人提供）： 宾夕法尼亚大学放射学系提出了一项创新的培训计划，旨在培养成像临床科学家。成像在临床护理和生物医学研究中的作用越来越大，导致了对基于成像的临床科学家的迫切需求。有一个人才库的居民申请学术放射住院医师计划在美国各地，只有一小部分追求学术生涯。即使是一小部分受训者也会发展成为临床科学家。本建议书中描述的培训计划建立在宾夕法尼亚大学放射学部优秀的临床培训计划和大型研究基础设施的基础上 为了开发一个居住轨道设计的学员感兴趣的职业生涯作为成像科学家。研究轨道包括2年的研究培训，第一次在住院期间，第二次作为奖学金的一部分。 除了满足委员会认证的要求外，临床培训将侧重于受训者特别感兴趣的领域。研究年由PGY 5临床年分开，在此期间，学员将准备并完成诊断放射学的委员会考试。除了研究洞察力，该计划还包括成像技术，基础生物学，生物统计学和临床研究设计的教学课程。研究研讨会和密切的指导也代表了该计划的重要组成部分。据信，在整个国家居民匹配计划提供的综合培训计划将提供一个机会，让居民在他们的培训早期，导致承诺训练有素的成像临床科学家，满足国家的需要。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Department of Radiology at the University of Pennsylvania proposes an innovative training program with the aim of developing imaging clinician scientists. The growing role of imaging in clinical care and biomedical research has resulted in an acute need for imaging-based clinician scientists. There is a talented pool of resident applicants to academic radiology residency programs across the US, with only a small fraction pursuing academic careers. Even a smaller fraction of trainees are developed into clinician scientists. The training program described in this proposal builds on the excellent clinical training programs and the large research infrastructure within Penn's Radiology department in order to develop a residency track designed for trainees interested in careers as imaging scientists. The research track includes 2 years of research training, the first during residency and a second as part of a fellowship. Clinical training will focus on areas of specific interest to the trainee in addition to meeting the requirement for board certification. The research years are separated by the PGY 5 clinical year during which trainees will prepare for and complete the board examination in Diagnostic Radiology. In addition to the research percepterships, the program includes didactic courses in imaging technology, basic biology, biostatistics and clinical research design. Research seminars and close mentoring also represent significant components of the program. It is believed that an integrated training program offered throughout the National Residents Matching program will offer an opportunity to engage residents early in their training resulting in committed well-trained imaging clinical scientists, meeting a national need.
