Psychiatric Epidemiology Training Program

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议的精神病学流行病学培训计划回应了对个人谁结合联合收割机的流行病学专业知识的精神障碍的理解持续强烈的需求。该计划位于约翰霍普金斯彭博公共卫生学院的精神卫生系，该学院以流行病学为指导框架。该计划吸引了来自公共卫生学院精神卫生系和流行病学系以及医学院精神病学和行为科学系的核心教师。核心教师是精神病学流行病学领域公认的领导者，已被证明有能力作为导师，并从事一系列前沿研究，为学员提供学习和学徒的可能性。该领域的十位国际领导者是附属教师，他们可以为学员提供建议，网络和数据。心理健康部为培训方案提供广泛的物质、组织、智力和财政支持。精神卫生部最近修订了其博士课程，扩大了学科基础，符合NIH路线图，并增加了新的要求，以加强毕业生的质量。博士生至少需要六个季度的流行病学，七个季度的生物统计学，九个季度的心理健康，通常在学习的第二年的后半部分完成他们的综合笔试。基于精神病学公共使用数据集分析的论文需要在第一年的研究。在教学，公开演讲和科学论文的内部和外部发表的经验是课程的必要组成部分。博士后研究员，其中大约一半是精神病学家，与他们的导师一起设计一个流行病学研究计划。高质量的申请来自全国各地，远远超过可用的职位。在过去的五年里，该计划变得越来越有选择性。该计划的毕业生广泛发表，获得研究赠款，并在历史上提供了精神病学领域的国家和国际领导地位。最近的毕业生从政府，医疗保健行业和学术界的一系列机会中选择了优秀的职位。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed Psychiatric Epidemiology Training Program responds to the continuing strong need for individuals who combine understanding of psychiatric disturbances with expert knowledge of epidemiology. The program is located in the Department of Mental Health of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, which has epidemiology as its orienting framework. The Program draws core faculty from the Department of Mental Health and Department of Epidemiology, in the School of Public Health, and the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences in the School of Medicine. Core faculty are recognized leaders in the field of psychiatric epidemiology, have proven ability as mentors, and are engaged in a range of cutting edge research which provides learning and apprenticeship possibilities for trainees. Ten international leaders in this field are affiliate faculty who can provide advice, networks, and data to trainees. The Department of Mental Health provides extensive physical, organizational, intellectual, and financial support to the Training Program. The Department of Mental Health recently revised its doctoral curriculum, broadening its disciplinary base, consistent with the NIH Roadmap, and adding new requirements to strengthen the quality of the graduates. Doctoral trainees take at least six quarters of epidemiology, seven quarters of biostatistics, and nine quarters in Mental Health, usually completing their comprehensive written exam during the latter part of the second year of study. Papers based on analyses of public use datasets in psychiatric epidemiology are required in the first year of study. Experiences in teaching, public presentation, and publication of scientific papers within and outside the dissertation topic are a required part of the curriculum. Postdoctoral fellows, of whom about half are psychiatrists, design a program of epidemiologic research in concert with their advisor. High quality applications originate from around the country and heavily outnumber available positions. The program has become increasingly selective over the past five years. Graduates of the program publish widely, obtain research grants, and have historically provided national and international leadership in the field of psychiatric epidemiology. Recent graduates have chosen excellent positions from a range of opportunities in government, the health care industry, and academia.
