Program in Pediatric Transfusion Medicine

描述(由申请人提供)： 在过去的20年里，随着我们对疾病的病理生理学和分子基础的了解不断加深，医疗管理的复杂性也越来越高，提供越来越复杂的产品和服务的输血医学(TM)领域也变得更加复杂。虽然这一领域对人力的需求有所增加，但进入该地区的年轻调查人员数量一直滞后，这一趋势可能会限制该领域的发展。这种模式的一个主要例子发生在儿科TM，这是普通TM中的一个专门领域。没有正式的培训方案来满足感兴趣的个人的需要，并替换该地区因自然减员而失去的高级调查人员。招募年轻医生进入这一领域的既定途径将缓解这一问题。我们建议在科罗拉多大学丹佛分校和健康科学中心(UCDHSC)和科罗拉多州丹佛市的邦菲尔斯血液中心(BBC)开设儿科TM项目，以满足这一领域的需求。这项提案旨在创建一套完整的儿科TM课程。利用最初由PI与TMAA共同开发并目前在UCDHSC运行的培训计划，我们将通过标准教学技术和基于案例的研究来扩展教育经验，并为临床儿科TM主题开发基于计算机的学习计划。该计划以指导该地区的医学生和高级医学实习生为重点，还将为住院医生和临床研究员提供教育经验。将为学员提供临床和研究经验。该计划将有几个广泛的目标：1)吸引优秀的年轻研究人员进入儿科TM领域；2)通过课程开发和实施，吸引能够服务于儿科TM领域的有前途的临床医生和科学家；3)鼓励能够在儿科TM领域提供适当指导的教员的发展；4)促进研究、医疗和血液服务候选人之间的信息、评估和教育技术的交流。该提案将在大量从事TM培训的教员、邦菲尔斯血液中心、科罗拉多州地区血液中心、儿童医院和UCDHSC的儿科临床和翻译研究中心以及UCDHSC的临床科学博士培训计划的帮助和支持下实现这些目标。为了实现这些目标，该计划将改善婴儿和儿童的医疗保健和医疗成果。 (摘要结束)

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Over the past 20 years as our understanding of the pathophysiology and molecular basis of disease has grown and the complexity of medical management has increased, the field of Transfusion Medicine (TM) which provides increasingly more sophisticated products and services has become more complicated. While the need for manpower in this area has increased, the number of young investigators entering the area has lagged, a trend that may limit the development of the field. A prime example of this pattern has occurred in Pediatric TM, a specialized area within general TM. There are no formal training programs to meet the needs of interested individuals and to replace senior investigators in the area lost by attrition. An established pathway to recruit young physicians into this area would alleviate the problem. We present a proposal for a program in Pediatric TM to meet the needs in this area at the University of Colorado at Denver and Health Sciences Center (UCDHSC) and the Bonfils Blood Center (BBC) in Denver, CO. This proposal seeks to create a complete curriculum in Pediatric TM. Using a training program initially developed by the PI with a TMAA and currently operating at UCDHSC, we will extend education experiences with standard instruction techniques and case-based studies and develop computer-based learning programs for clinical Pediatric TM topics. Focusing on instruction of medical students and senior medical trainees in the area, the program will also provide educational experiences for residents and clinical fellows. Clinical and research experience will be provided to the learners. The program will have several broad goals: 1) to attract outstanding young investigators to the field of Pediatric TM; 2) to attract promising clinicians and scientists who can serve the field of Pediatric TM through curriculum development and implementation; 3) to encourage development of a faculty capable of providing appropriate instruction in Pediatric TM; 4) to facilitate exchange of information, evaluation and educational techniques among research, medical and blood service candidates. The proposal will achieve these goals with the help and resources of a large faculty engaged in TM training, the Bonfils Blood Center, Colorado's regional blood center, the Pediatric Clinical and Translational Research Center at The Children's Hospital and UCDHSC and the Clinical Sciences PhD Training Program at UCDHSC. In achieving these goals, the program will enhance healthcare and medical outcomes for infants and children. (End of Abstract)
