Clinical Scholars in Cardiovascular Science

描述（由申请人提供）： 肯塔基州大学心血管科学临床学者培训计划旨在培养优秀的临床学者，以担任领导职务，指导心血管医学领域的多学科研究。在过去的几年里，由于大量的机构承诺，我们已经组装了一个垂直整合的方法，将基础，转化和临床心血管科学纳入四个浓度：血栓形成和炎症;动脉粥样硬化和动脉瘤;心脏肥大和心力衰竭;和血管细胞对压力的反应。我们建议利用我们的心血管科学优势，提供一个独特的多学科培训计划，横向整合了医学，护理和药学等学科的学员。我们的目标是增加临床研究人员的渠道，他们将弥合基础科学进步与其临床医学应用之间的差距。具体而言，我们的目标是：1）在与心血管研究相关的基础科学方面提供严格和扎实的研究教育2）在高度跨学科的环境中为转化和临床科学培养新的研究人员3）提供高质量实验室管理和科学的有效和道德行为的培训4）创造一个环境，将孵化学者和导师与创新和培育结构的交错辅导团队为了实现我们的目标，我们已经设计了该计划，以专注于临床医生（MD，PharmD，RN/PhD）谁是在他们的职业生涯的早期博士后阶段。该计划将结合联合收割机密集的指导研究经验，融合了实验室为基础的和临床为基础的方法与心血管科学的严格课程。一个由经验丰富的研究人员组成的委员会将通过提供洞察力和监督来增强研究经验。学者将接受“生存技能”的补充培训，并积极参与我们的心血管社区。在该计划完成后，我们预计，学员将有必要的经验和能力，开始作为一个病人为导向的或翻译研究者独立的职业生涯。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Kentucky Training Program for Clinical Scholars in Cardiovascular Science is designed to prepare exceptional clinical scholars to assume leadership positions directing multidisciplinary research in the field of cardiovascular medicine. In the last several years, as a consequence of substantial institutional commitment, we have assembled a vertically-integrated approach of incorporating basic, translational and clinical cardiovascular science in four concentrations: Thrombosis and Inflammation; Atherosclerosis and Aneurysm; Cardiac Hypertrophy and Heart Failure; and Vascular Cell Response to Stress. We propose to leverage our cardiovascular science strengths to provide a unique multidisciplinary training program that horizontally integrates trainees across the disciplines of Medicine, Nursing, and Pharmacy. Our goal is to increase the pipeline of clinical investigators who will bridge the gap between basic science advances and their application to clinical medicine. Specifically, our aims are: 1) To provide a rigorous and solid research education in the basic sciences related to cardiovascular research 2) To prepare new researchers for translational and clinical science in a highly interdisciplinary environment 3) To provide training in the efficient and ethical conduct of high quality laboratory management and science 4) To create an environment that will incubate scholars and mentors with an innovative and nurturing structure of interlaced mentoring teams To accomplish our goal, we have designed the Program to focus on clinicians (MD, PharmD, RN/PhD) who are at the early postdoctoral stage of their careers. The Program will combine an intensive mentored research experience that blends laboratory-based and clinically-based methods with a rigorous curriculum in cardiovascular science. A committee of experienced investigators will enhance the research experience by providing insight and oversight. Scholars will receive supplemental training in "survival skills" and be , active participants in our cardiovascular community. Upon completion of the program, we anticipate that the trainees will have the experience and capabilities necessary to initiate an independent career as a patient- oriented or translational investigators.
