Anesthesia Training Grant in Biomedical Research

描述（由申请人提供）：生物医学科学麻醉培训计划的目标是培养学术麻醉的领导者。为了实现这一目标，除了医学博士或博士学位之外，还需要额外的培训。该培训计划提供必要的指导、培训和指导，以提高这些学员在学术麻醉研究领域的成功。学员必须学会提出重要的、经过深思熟虑的问题，批判性地思考，并使用前沿的跨学科工具来回答这些问题。成功还需要发展以口头和书面形式展示结果的技能，准备竞争性拨款提案的技能，以及在能够更有效地推进研究的情况下进行合作的能力。培训计划从招募最有才华的MD/PhD学员开始。有兴趣从事麻醉研究和学术麻醉的医学博士申请者。然后，受训者有一名主要研究导师和一名次要导师密切监督他们的进展。与有成就的教师密切互动对于掌握这些技能至关重要，这是培训计划的核心，然后辅以教学材料，在临床研究的情况下，可能会辅以流行病学或健康科学研究的硕士学位。在行政管理方面，该项目由一名主任，指导委员会和一组20名来自麻醉科的高技能和成功的培训教师，来自医学院其他8个部门，包括工程。许多教员之间已经建立了互动。该计划的任务是向学员传授麻醉研究的新技术和新方法。该学院分为三个主要领域：1)组学：疾病的系统方法；2)炎症、信号和组织损伤；3)麻醉和成瘾机制。一些教师参与多个领域。我们要求第一年有两个名额，之后每年有四个名额，每名受训人员得到两年的支持。相关性：麻醉师在许多环境中照顾患者，包括手术室，重症监护病房，疼痛诊所和术前诊所。在所有这些环境中，他们都有机会改善病人的护理和改善病人的预后。为了继续在改善围手术期预后方面处于领先地位，需要训练有素、技术娴熟的从业人员致力于麻醉研究。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The objective of the Anesthesia Training Program in Biomedical Science is to train leaders in academic anesthesia. To accomplish this goal additional training beyond an MD or PhD is required. This training program provides the essential guidance, training, and mentoring critical to increase the success of these trainees in launching their careers in academic anesthesia research. Trainees must learn to pose important and well thought out questions, to think critically, and to use cutting edge interdisciplinary tools to answer these questions. Success also requires the development of skills in presentation of results in oral and written format, in preparation of competitive grant proposals, and in the ability to engage in collaboration when this will more effectively advance the research. The training program starts by recruiting the most talented trainees from MD/PhD. MD and PhD applicants interested in pursuing a career in anesthesia research and academic anesthesia. Trainees then have a primary research mentor and a secondary mentor to closely monitor their progress. Close interaction with accomplished faculty is essential to master these skills, and this is the core of the training program, which is then supplemented by didactic material, and in the case of clinical research may be supplemented by a master degree in epidemiology or health science research. Administratively the program consists of a director, steering committee and a group of 20 highly skilled and successful training faculty from the anesthesia department, from 8 other departments within the medical school from engineering. There are already established interactions between many of the faculty members. The mission of the program is teaching trainees new technologies and approaches to anesthesia research. The faculty is divided into three overarching areas: 1) Omics: a systems approach to disease, 2) lnflammation, Signaling and Tissue Injury, and 3) Mechanisms of Anesthesia and Addiction. Some faculty participate in more than one area. We request two slots the first year and four slots per year thereafter, with each trainee supported for two years. RELEVANCE: Anesthesiologists take care of patients in many settings, including the operating room, the intensive care unit, the pain clinic and the preoperative clinic. In all of these settings they have the opportunity to improve patient care and improve patient outcome. To continue to lead the way in improving outcomes in the perioperative period requires highly trained and skilled practitioners dedicated to research in anesthesia.
