The Dartmouth Orthopaedics Clinician/Researcher Training Program (DOC/RTP)

描述（由申请人提供）：达特茅斯骨科临床医生/研究员培训计划（DOC/RTP）每年提供两名骨科住院医师（一名在PGY 2之后，一名在PGY 3之后）一个研究年，在此期间，他们获得达特茅斯卫生政策和临床实践研究所（TDI）的硕士学位，该研究所以前是临床科学评估中心。我们的目标是让这些居民成长为未来的骨科研究领导者，拥有良好的研究实践和技术来执行自己的研究和评估他人的研究。单一的课程，由博士设计的约翰E。Wennberg（卫生事务部投票选出的过去25年最有影响力的卫生政策研究人员），结合流行病学和生物统计学，决策分析使用贝叶斯理论，质量改善门诊和医院为基础的实践设置，卫生保健经济学，卫生政策，卫生保健系统的社会学，以及使用大型数据库，所有这些都由我们国家在这些领域的领先专家教授，7名教师是国家科学院的成员。基础设施，以支持我们的NRSA居民的许多研究机会一直由博士温斯坦，最近被任命为TDI主任和博士温伯格的继任者协调。DOC/RTP的成功是如此的明显，以至于达特茅斯和全国各地的其他人都在复制和模仿这个项目。在我们的第一个5年的资金，硕士学位的卫生政策和临床实践将被授予10骨科居民。这些杰出的个人，从医学院，如耶鲁大学，达特茅斯，华盛顿大学和西北大学，来到达特茅斯不仅是因为优秀的骨科计划，而且还因为NRSA提供的机会和机会，了解医疗保健的交付和科学。所有TDI项目的骨科毕业生都继续他们的学术生涯，无论是在专科奖学金或通过医疗中心/医学院协会。研究项目和出版物成倍增加。更重要的是，住院医师工作的质量得到了提高，医学科学的研究已经发展成为他们临床成功的关键组成部分。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Dartmouth Orthopedics Clinician/Researcher Training Program (DOC/RTP) annually provides two orthopedic residents (one after the PGY 2 and one after the PGY 3) a research year during which they earn a Master's degree from The Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice (TDI), formerly the Center for the Evaluative Clinical Sciences. The objective is for these residents to grow into the orthopedic research leaders of the future, possessing sound research practices and techniques to perform their own research and to evaluate the research of others. The singular curriculum, designed by Dr. John E. Wennberg (voted the most influential health policy researcher of the past 25 years by Health Affairs), combines epidemiology and biostatistics, decision analysis using Bayesian theory, quality improvement in ambulatory and hospital-based practice settings, economics of health care, health policy, sociology of health care systems, and use of large data bases, all taught by some of our nation's leading experts in these fields, 7 of the faculty being members of the National Academy of Science. The infrastructure to support the many research opportunities for our NRSA residents has been coordinated by Dr. Weinstein, recently appointed as TDI Director and successor to Dr. Wennberg. The success of the DOC/RTP has been so unmistakable that the program is being copied and emulated by others at Dartmouth and around the country. In our first 5 years of funding, Master's degrees in health policy and clinical practice will have been awarded to 10 orthopedic residents. Each of these outstanding individuals, from medical schools such as Yale, Dartmouth, University of Washington and Northwestern, came to Dartmouth not only because of the outstanding Orthopedics program but also because of the opportunity afforded by the NRSA and the chance to learn about the delivery and science of health care. All orthopedic graduates from TDI's program have continued their academic careers either in subspecialty fellowships or through medical center/medical school association. Research projects and publications have increased exponentially. More importantly, the quality of resident work has improved and the study of the science of medicine has been developed as a critical component of their clinical success.
