Geographic Medicine and Emerging Infections

描述（由申请人提供）：地理医学和新发感染的培训计划将为阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦医学院（AECOM）的博士前研究员，博士后研究和临床研究员提供多学科教育计划。我们独特的计划利用AECOM长期的研究和临床优势，创建一个严格的研究计划，使学员接触寄生虫学，细菌学，病毒学，真菌学和临床传染病的研究。研究计划和教学活动汇集了临床医生和基础科学家，以促进现代生物医学研究所必需的合作研究环境。学员将由杰出的教师指导，同时追求专注于全球健康，国际医学和新兴传染病的转化研究项目。该计划将提供基础实验室研究，临床转化研究和流行病学的基本方法的培训，以创建地理医学和新兴病原体的综合观点。此外，学员将有机会与巴西，印度和南非的国际合作者合作进行翻译研究。一系列专门的研讨会和其他既定的教育活动将为讨论和制定新举措提供一个论坛。该培训计划将培养地理医学和新兴感染领域的下一代年轻科学家和临床研究人员。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This training program in Geographic Medicine and Emerging Infections will provide a multidisciplinary educational program for predoctoral fellows, postdoctoral research and clinical fellows at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine (AECOM). Our unique program capitalizes upon the longstanding research and clinical strengths at AECOM to create a rigorous research program that will expose trainees to research in parasitology, bacteriology, virology, mycology and clinical infectious diseases. The research program and didactic activities bring together clinicians and basic scientists to foster an environment of collaborative research that is essential for modern biomedical research. Trainees will be mentored by distinguished faculty while pursuing translational research projects that focus on global health, international medicine and emerging infectious diseases. The program will provide training in fundamental methods of basic laboratory research, clinical translational research and epidemiology to create an integrated view of geographic medicine and emerging pathogens. In addition, trainees will be offered opportunities to pursue translational research in collaboration with international collaborators in Brazil, India and South Africa. A dedicated seminar series and other established educational activities will provide a forum for discussion and development of new initiatives. This training program will groom the next generation of young scientists and clinical investigators in the field of Geographic Medicine and Emerging Infections.
