Research Education Program for Residents/Fellows in Neurology and Neurosurgery

项目摘要/摘要 俄亥俄州立大学为神经学家和神经外科医生准备的这项R25培训计划的目的是为(神经外科、神经学、放射学和病理学)精心挑选的住院医生为未来的研究职业生涯做准备，以提高对神经系统疾病的理解、诊断和治疗。该计划的前提是，此类疾病的理解、预防、诊断和治疗方面的进步最有可能来自于在研究环境中接受过培训的内科科学家，这种环境促进了临床和实验室研究人员之间的合作，这些研究人员专注于追求特定的研究目标。在这样的环境中接受教育的受训者可能会更好地理解几个学科中的每一个学科在神经科学研究中所起的作用，并使用这种观点将实验室获得的新知识转化为临床研究的设计，或者将床边观察转化为对中枢神经系统疾病生物学的新见解。神经学/神经外科/病理学或放射学住院医师在一个或多个有经验的教师导师的指导下工作，将吸收导师的研究方法，从而开始发展他/她将通过导师的合作学习以及作为培训计划一部分的会议、课程和非正式会议而学习的与中枢神经系统其他相关研究领域相关的专业知识领域。每个受训人员将积极参加俄亥俄州立大学神经病学/神经外科和神经科学系的会议以及与中枢神经系统疾病有关的其他会议，通过这种方式以及通过导师的合作，将熟悉神经科学相关领域发生的研究。

Project Summary/Abstract The purpose of this proposed R25 training program for neurologists and neurosurgeons at OSU is to prepare carefully selected residents (from neurosurgery, neurology, radiology and pathology) for future careers in research leading to improved understanding, diagnosis and treatment of neurological diseases. The program begins with the premise that advances in the understanding, prevention, diagnosis and therapy of such diseases are most likely to come from physician-scientists who have trained in a research environment that fosters collaboration between clinical and laboratory investigators focused in the pursuit of specific research goals. Trainees educated in such an environment may be expected to appreciate better the role that each of several disciplines plays in neuroscience research and use that perspective in translating new knowledge gained in the laboratory into the design of clinical studies or in translating bedside observations into new insights into the biology of CNS disease. Working under the tutelage of one or more accomplished faculty mentors, the neurological/ neurosurgical/ pathology or radiology resident will assimilate the mentor's research approach and thus begin to develop a field of expertise which he/she will learn to relate to other pertinent research areas in the CNS through the preceptor's collaborative studies as well as through the conferences, courses, and informal meetings which are part of the training program. Each trainee will take an active role in the conferences of the neurology/ neurosurgery and neurosciences departments and other conferences related to CNS diseases within the Ohio State University and in this way, as well as through the preceptor's collaborations, will be familiar with the research occurring in related areas of neuroscience.
