National Research Science Award - Medical Scientist

描述（由申请人提供）：华盛顿大学医学家培训计划的目的是为希望加入全国医学院临床或临床前部门的学生提供现代生物医学研究和临床医学技术的深入培训。其目标是确保每个学生除了在医学院获得的多样化教育外，还能在所选的科学学科中获得全面的知识。该培训面向生物医学工程系和生物与生物医学科学系的研究生，包括发育生物学、免疫学、分子生物物理学、生物化学、化学生物学、分子细胞生物学、分子遗传学、分子微生物学和微生物发病机制以及神经科学等专业。学生也可以在其他院系，如物理或人类学，从事生物医学相关的博士工作。MSTP的基本组成部分是：1)两年的医学院课程；2)至少三年以上生物医学相关博士研究经历；3) 15-24个月的临床培训。医学博士和博士学位是在成功完成这些部分后共同授予的。该计划具有高度的灵活性，可以进行修改和调整，以提供高度个性化的培训，并满足特定的职业目标。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of Washington University's Medical Scientist Training Program is to provide in-depth training in the techniques of modern biomedical research and clinical medicine for students who wish to join faculties of clinical or preclinical departments at medical schools throughout the country. Its goal is to ensure that each student acquires thorough knowledge in a chosen scientific discipline in addition to the diverse education gained in medical school. This training is available to students within the interdepartmental graduate programs of the Department of Biomedical Engineering and the Division of Biology and Biomedical Sciences, which includes the programs in Developmental Biology, Immunology, Molecular Biophysics, Biochemistry, Chemical Biology, Molecular Cell Biology, Molecular Genetics, Molecular Microbiology and Microbial Pathogenesis, and Neurosciences. Students may also do biomedically relevant doctoral work in other departments, such as Physics or Anthropology. The basic components of the MSTP are: 1) two years of the medical school curriculum; 2) a minimum of three years of biomedically related doctoral research; and 3) 15-24 months of Clinical training. The M.D. and Ph.D. degrees are awarded jointly at the successful completion of these components. This program, which features a high degree of flexibility, may be modified and adjusted to provide highly individualized training and meet specific career goals.
