Clinical Pharmacology Training Program

描述（由申请人提供）：人们普遍认为，训练有素的从事人体实践研究的内科科学家日益短缺，尤其是在临床药理学领域。约翰霍普金斯大学的临床药理学培训项目就是专门为解决这个问题而设计的。该计划以临床药理学部门为中心，该部门是医学院医学系和药理学与分子科学系的一个联合单位。这个场所是进行将基本分子发现和技术转化为临床试验的研究的理想场所。该培训计划大约需要四年时间才能完成，包括临床药理学的核心课程（课程加上研究轮转）以及临床调查研究生培训计划的预科。论文项目一般包括分子和动手临床成分。与该部门教师的集体专业知识保持一致，研究重点是抗感染药物的某些方面。每位受训者都有一名主要导师，他是论文导师，负责监督研究项目的临床方面，适当时由一名联合导师补充。参与的教师不仅包括该部门的教师，还包括一组精心挑选的共同导师，以反映正在进行或可预见的研究合作和重要的教学协会。虽然在这个项目中没有临床责任，但研究员可以同时完成一个亚专业奖学金，通常是在传染病方面。该项目有一个顾问委员会的定期建议和监督，该委员会由来自约翰霍普金斯大学内外的杰出临床科学家和杰出临床药理学教育者组成。从这个全面的，严格的，培养计划的毕业生是符合临床药理学委员会资格的，并且具有直接进入基础和临床药理学界面的独立职业的技能和知识。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The growing shortage of well-trained physician scientists who conduct hands-on studies in humans, particularly in the area of clinical pharmacology, is widely acknowledged. The Clinical Pharmacology Training Program at Johns Hopkins is designed specifically to address this problem. The program is centered in the Division of Clinical Pharmacology, which is jointly a unit within the Department of Medicine and the Department of Pharmacology and Molecular Sciences, in the School of Medicine. This venue is ideal for conducting research that translates basic molecular discoveries and techniques into clinical trials. The training program takes about four years to complete and includes a core curriculum in clinical pharmacology (coursework plus research rotations) as well as matriculation in the Graduate Training Program in Clinical Investigation. Thesis projects generally include a molecular as well as a hands-on clinical component. In keeping with the collective expertise of the Division faculty, research focuses on some aspect of anti-infective drugs. Each trainee has a Primary Mentor who is the thesis supervisor and who oversees the clinical aspects of the research project, complemented when appropriate by a Co-mentor. Participating faculty include not only those in the Division but also a group of Co-Mentors carefully chosen to reflect ongoing or foreseeable research collaborations and important teaching associations. Although there are no clinical responsibilities in this program, fellows may complete a concurrent subspecialty fellowship, typically in Infectious Diseases. The program has the regular advice and oversight of an Advisory Board comprised of distinguished clinician-scientists and outstanding clinical pharmacology educators from within and outside of Johns Hopkins. Graduates from this comprehensive, rigorous, and nurturing program are board-eligible in Clinical Pharmacology and have the skills and knowledge to step directly into an independent career at the interface of basic and clinical pharmacology.
