Integrated Training in Anesthesiology Research

描述（由申请人提供）：该计划的目标是为博士后研究员提供足够的研究培训，使他们能够建立独立的调查职业，致力于通过推进该领域的知识来改善麻醉/危重患者的护理。为了实现这一目标，杜克大学医学中心的麻醉学系将其资源集中投入到多学科实验室和临床研究环境的开发中，这些环境能够提供最先进的研究培训经验。该提案概述了一个多元化但有凝聚力的教师谁愿意并准备满足这一目标的凭据。培训计划的结构涉及2-3年的连续性，学员在教员的密切和直接监督下就共同感兴趣的研究项目工作。早期的重点将放在学习研究技能和掌握文献上。后来的重点将针对独立的假设生成，实验设计，数据分析，研究结果的介绍和外部资金的竞争。学员将被鼓励利用与项目教师建立的关系，以丰富研究技能和发展长期合作关系。在负责任的研究行为的培训将是该计划的一个组成部分。该项目将由项目主任和一个由4名培训教师和部门主席组成的执行委员会指导。这些人员将每季度举行一次会议，评估计划在实现概述目标方面的表现，并审查个别受训人员的活动和进展。将从国家合格候选人库中挑选受训人员。虽然该项目的主要重点是选择博士后研究员的培训，但人们也认为，麻醉学研究计划的综合培训是基石，并为医学生，初级教师和国际学者提供的调查培训设定了标准共享实验室/临床研究环境。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of this program is to provide postdoctoral fellows with research training sufficient to allow them to establish independent investigative careers devoted to improving care of the anesthetized/critically ill patient by advancing knowledge in the field. To meet this objective, the Department of Anesthesiology at Duke University Medical Center has intensively invested its resources in the development of multidisciplinary laboratory and clinical research environments capable of offering state of the art research training experiences. This proposal outlines the credentials of a diverse but cohesive faculty who are willing and prepared to meet this objective. The structure of the training program involves a 2-3 year continuum when the trainees work under the close and direct supervision of a faculty member on research projects of mutual interest. Early emphasis will be placed on learning research skills and achieving mastery of the literature. Later emphasis will be directed towards independent hypothesis generation, experimental design, data analysis, presentation of research findings and competition for external funding. The trainee will be encouraged to exploit relationships established with members of the program faculty for both enrichment of research skill repertoires and development of long-term collaborative relationships. Training in the responsible conduct of research will be an integral part of the program. The program will directed by the Program Director and an Executive Committee consisting of 4 training faculty and the departmental chairman. These individuals will meet at quarterly intervals to assess program performance in achieving outlined objectives and for review of activities and progress of the individual trainees. Trainees will be sought from a national pool of eligible candidates. Although the primary focus of this project is on the training of select post-doctoral fellows, it is also believed that the Integrated Training in Anesthesiology Research program is the cornerstone and sets the standard for investigative training also offered to medical students, junior faculty, and international scholars who share the laboratory/clinical research environment.
