Research Training in Anesthesia

描述(由申请人提供)：麻醉的实践正在迅速扩展到手术室的边界之外。除了临床和基础科学研究外，麻醉科医生越来越多地扮演着危重护理、疼痛管理、对住院患者紧急情况的快速反应等角色。快速变化的医疗环境要求麻醉领域的下一代领导者接受广泛的临床培训，以及基础和翻译科学方面的培训。这一博士后培训计划的目标是为年轻科学家提供在基础和翻译研究领域的杰出经验。该计划的主要重点将是培养下一代内科学者(那些拥有医学博士或医学博士学位的人)。该计划将在2年内每年资助2名研究员，这意味着每年有4个资助名额。我们设想了四条研究培训的轨道，每一条都将借鉴耶鲁大学麻醉系以及医学中心和大学的其他项目的杰出专业知识。血管生物学课程将与耶鲁大学成熟的、跨学科的血管生物学和治疗学(VBT)计划相结合，利用麻醉学中的培训师。炎症/免疫生物学轨道将有来自免疫生物学系和人类翻译免疫学的培训员参加，这两个系都包括世界级的研究人员。生物工程课程将包括来自麻醉学的研究人员，以及生物工程学部门和诊断成像领域的杰出团体。第四条轨道，临床研究，也将利用系内的培训资源，以及耶鲁最近授予的CTSA项目。为了进一步促进内科科学家的培训，并独立于T32申请，我们最近建立了一个常驻学者计划(RSP)。RSP完全由麻醉科资助，并在3年的麻醉住院期间提供密集的研究指导。我们预计，这些在RSP中精挑细选的住院医师中的许多人将在完成住院医师培训后成为参加T32博士后培训计划的优秀候选人。 相关性：这笔赠款将资助临床麻醉师在基础科学和临床导向研究方面的高级研究培训。通过为执业医生提供出色的培训，我们正在改善全国医疗保健的提供和进步，因为这些训练有素的医生将推动新疗法的开发和改善患者的护理方式。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The practice of Anesthesia is rapidly expanding beyond the boundaries of the operating room. Increasingly, anesthesiologists are taking a roles is critical care, the management of pain, rapid response to inpatient emergencies, in addition to clinical and basic science research. Rapidly changing healthcare environments require that the next generation of leaders in anesthesia be broadly trained, both clinically and in basic and translational science. The goals of this post-doctoral training program are to provide young scientists with outstanding experiences in basic and translational research arenas. The primary focus of the program will be to train the next generation of physician scholars (those having MD or MD/PhD degrees). This program will fund 2 fellows per year for 2 years, meaning 4 funded slots per year. We envision four tracks for research training, each of which will draw on outstanding expertise at Yale, both within the Department of Anesthesia, and in other programs in the Medical Center and the University. The Vascular Biology track will leverage trainers within Anesthesia, in conjunction with the well-established and interdisciplinary Vascular Biology and Therapeutics (VBT) program at Yale. The Biology of Inflammation/Immunity track will involve trainers from the Department of Immunobiology and from the Human Translational Immunology, both of which include world-class investigators. The Bioengineering track will include investigators from Anesthesia, as well as the Bioengineering Department and outstanding groups in Diagnostic Imaging. The fourth track, Clinical Research, will also leverage training resources within the Department, as well as the recently-awarded CTSA program at Yale. To further advance the training of physician scientists, and independent of this T32 application, we have recently established a Resident Scholars Program (RSP). The RSP is funded entirely by the Anesthesia department, and provides intensive mentoring in research during the 3 years of anesthesia residency. We anticipate that many of these highly select residents in the RSP will be excellent candidates for enrollment in this T32 postdoctoral training program upon completion of their residency. Relevance: This grant will fund advanced research training for clinical anesthesiologists, in both basic science and in clinically oriented research. By providing outstanding training to practicing physicians, we are improving the delivery and advancement of healthcare nationwide, because these trained physicians will drive the development of new therapies and improved ways of caring for patients.
