Academic Rheumatology and Clinical Immunology

描述（由申请人提供）：在UCSF的学术流变学和临床免疫学培训计划的总体目标是提供先进的研究培训，以符合条件的个人与MD，MD/博士，或博士学位谁计划追求学术流变学的职业生涯。该计划为学员提供了一个可以学习以下内容的环境：（1）他们所选领域的最新科学进展;（2）最先进的方法;（3）如何深入研究问题;（4）什么是好的科学;和（5）将研究发现转化为改善风湿性疾病的识别和治疗的方法。该培训计划利用莫菲特-朗大学医院、旧金山弗朗西斯科总医院和旧金山弗朗西斯科VA医疗中心的流变学部门的资源，并整合了UCSF儿科流变学部门，以支持成人和儿科流变学/免疫学的培训。这些部门的领导和教师致力于为学员提供受保护的指导时间和全额工资补贴。该计划还借鉴了UCSF免疫学计划的优势，为学员提供了广泛的研究和培训机会，在高度合作的环境。对于目前的更新，该计划增加了新的教师，包括UCSF CTSA计划的主任。因此，该计划及其学员将能够从整个UCSF系统中存在的翻译研究培训的各种机会中受益，除了那些已经是该培训计划的一部分。二十多年来，UCSF流变学和临床免疫学培训计划在基础生物医学研究和卫生服务研究/成果研究方面具有特别的优势。最近，该计划增加了风湿性疾病遗传流行病学和风湿性疾病新型生物疗法临床试验的主要新研究项目。这种活动的广度为教师和学员之间的合作创造了良好的环境。这项培训补助金支持六名高素质的受训人员通过两三年的严格科学培训，目的是使他们能够成功地将其随后的职业生涯投入到风湿病和免疫疾病的研究中。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overall goal of the Academic Rheumatology and Clinical Immunology Training Program at UCSF is to provide advanced research training to qualified individuals with MD, MD/PhD, or PhD degrees who plan to pursue careers in academic rheumatology. This program provides trainees with an environment in which they can learn: (1) the latest scientific advances in their chosen field; (2) state-of-the-art methods; (3) how to investigate a problem in depth; (4) what constitutes good science; and (5) approaches to translating research discoveries into improved recognition and treatment of the rheumatic diseases. This training program takes advantage of the resources of the Rheumatology Divisions at Moffitt-Long University Hospital, San Francisco General Hospital, and the San Francisco VA Medical Center and integrates the UCSF Division of Pediatric Rheumatology to support training in both adult and pediatric rheumatology/immunology. Leadership and faculty of these divisions are committed to provide protected mentoring time and full salary supplementation for trainees. The program also draws upon the strength of the UCSF Immunology Program to provide trainees a broad range of research and training opportunities in a highly collaborative environment. For the current renewal, the program has added new faculty, including the Director of the UCSF CTSA Program. The program and its trainees will thus be in a position to benefit from the diverse opportunities for translational research training that exists across the UCSF system in addition to those that are already part of this training program. For over two decades, the UCSF Rheumatology and Clinical Immunology Training Program has had particular strength in basic biomedical research, and health services research/outcomes research. More recently, the program has added major new research programs in genetic epidemiology of rheumatic diseases and clinical trials of novel biologic therapies for rheumatic diseases. This breadth of activity creates an outstanding environment for collaboration among faculty and trainees. This training grant supports six highly qualified trainees through two or three years of rigorous scientific training, with the objective that they will successfully devote their subsequent careers to the study of the rheumatic and immunologic diseases.
