Trauma and Inflammation Research Training

描述（由申请人提供）：布朗大学阿尔珀特医学院外科学系招收多学科基础科学创伤和炎症研究培训博士后。该计划的目标是识别，招募和培训下一代创伤科学家，特别强调在学术创伤医学事业中保留医学博士。研究方面的正式训练包括获得科学家的技术、智力、哲学和伦理习惯和能力。培养学员的这些特质是本项目最重要的目标。外科院系教师；工程;神经外科;医学;分子微生物学与免疫学；分子生物学、细胞生物学和生物化学；布朗大学的病理学和它们各自的实验室，为受训者选择研究领域提供了理想的机会。罗德岛医院的一级创伤和烧伤中心为基础研究提供临床相关性。该计划由一名主任领导，并由执行委员会在学员的选择、指导和评估方面提供建议和协助。一名联合主任协助主任进行项目的日常运作，并在主任不在时代替他。校外顾问小组确保培训计划的卓越性。每年在全国范围内从任何外科分支的住院医生和刚毕业的博士中选出两名培训生。主要的重点是从代表性不足的少数民族中招募候选人。培训项目为期两年。课程包括生物统计学、责任学等必修课程

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a competitive renewal for the post-doctoral multidisciplinary basic science Trauma and Inflammation Research Training Program at the Department of Surgery, The Alpert Medical School of Brown University. The Program's goal is to identify, recruit, and train the next generation of Trauma Scientists with particular emphasis on retaining MDs in academic trauma medicine careers. Formal training in research involves the acquisition of the technical, intellectual, philosophical and ethical habits and abilities of the scientist. Development of these traits in the trainees is the most important goal of the Program. Faculty from the Departments of Surgery; Engineering; Neurosurgery; Medicine; Molecular Microbiology and Immunology; Molecular Biology, Cell Biology and Biochemistry; and Pathology at Brown University, and their respective laboratories, afford trainees ideal opportunities to select areas for research. The Level 1 Trauma and Burn Centers at Rhode Island Hospital provide clinical correlates for basic research. The Program is led by a Director who is advised and assisted by an Executive Committee in the selection, guidance and evaluation of trainees. A Co-Director assists the Director in the day-to-day running of the program and stands-in in his absence. An Extramural Advisors Panel assures the excellence of the Training Program. Two trainees per year are selected nationally, among residents in any branch of surgery and recently graduated PhDs. Major emphasis is placed on recruiting candidates from under-represented minorities. The Training Program lasts two years. The curriculum includes required courses in Biostatistics, Responsible Conduct of Research, and Scientific Writing, as well as elective courses tailored to the specific needs of the trainees. A faculty mentor and an Advisory Group (modeled after a PhD thesis committee and including an experienced trauma care clinician) provide direction, support and supervision, as well as a clinical outlook on the research project. Trainees will have no clinical responsibilities during the training period. This comprehensive program provides the trainee with the technical and intellectual tools necessary to pursue an academic career in research areas related to trauma and inflammation. Relevance: Trauma continues to be a leading cause of death and disability in the USA. The Program aims to train surgical residents or recently graduated PhDs as the next generation of Trauma Scientists, capable of bringing advances in the understanding of the underlying mechanisms of "trauma disease" to the bedside and improve the outcome of trauma victims.
