Training Program in Adult and Pediatric Rheumatology

描述（由申请人提供）：t32资助的免疫学和风湿病学博士后将接受为期两年的临床免疫学转化研究或临床研究培训。申请T32支持的申请人将是医学博士、博士或医学博士/博士。学位持有人。博士后奖学金候选人将由两个风湿病学部门的代表组成的博士后委员会进行审查和选择。不包括在T32资助的风湿病医学博士博士后的临床年将主要包括在门诊诊所的出勤，以及住院咨询。临床培训后，受训者将选择以下两个研究方向之一进行T32培训：(i)临床免疫学转化研究专区（专区1）；或(ii)。临床研究（专场2）。轨道1的培训将提供给那些有兴趣从事临床免疫学转化研究的研究员，并将辅以必修和推荐的课程。在第二轨道的一个为期两年的培训项目可以获得科学硕士学位，由卫生研究和政策部门管理。我们相信，这种正式的培训对于从事临床研究的受训者非常重要，可以为临床试验设计、生物伦理学、数据分析和其他临床研究中的重要问题提供基础。对于这两个方向的所有学员，将要求参加每周的风湿病讲座，以及一系列关于负责任的研究行为的讲座。在所有的培训期间，博士后学员需要参加每周的免疫学大会班、期刊俱乐部会议、每周的免疫学系列研讨会、年度T32和免疫学务静会。这将提供风湿病学研究员和许多其他免疫学研究员和参与斯坦福大学研究工作的学生之间的互动。在t32支持的年份，MD博士后将每周参加一次或两次半天的临床活动，以及由其导师确定的定期研究会议。我们将利用斯坦福大学丰富的环境，为对免疫学、蛋白质组学、基因组学、临床试验和结果感兴趣的学员提供许多额外的机会。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): T32-supported Immunology and Rheumatology Postdoctoral Fellows will undertake two years of training in either translational research in clinical immunology or in clinical investigation. Applicants for T32 support will be M.D., Ph.D. or M.D./Ph.D. degree holders. Candidates for postdoctoral fellowships will be reviewed and selected by a Postdoctoral Committee composed of representatives of the two Rheumatology Divisions. The clinical years of postdoctoral fellowship in rheumatology for MDs, not covered by T32 funding will predominantly consist of attendance at outpatient clinics, as well as inpatient consulting. Following clinical training, trainees will select one of two Research Tracks for their T32 training: (i.) The Clinical Immunology Translational Research Track (Track 1); or (ii.) The Clinical Investigation (Track 2). The training in Track 1 will be available for those fellows interested in pursuing translational research in clinical immunology and will be supplemented with required and recommended coursework. A two-year training program in Track 2 can lead to a Master's of Science Degree, administered through the Department of Health Research and Policy. It is our belief that such formal training is important for trainees who pursue a career in clinical research, to provide a foundation in the fundamentals of clinical trial design, bioethics, data analysis, and other important issues in clinical research. For all trainees in both Tracks, attendance will be required at weekly lectures in rheumatic diseases, as well as a series of lectures on Responsible Conduct of Research. Postdoctoral trainees are expected to attend weekly Immunology Grand Rounds, Journal Club meetings, the weekly Immunology Seminar Series, and the Annual T32 and Immunology Retreats during all years of training. This will provide interactions between the rheumatology fellows and the many other immunology fellows and students involved in research endeavors at Stanford. In the T32-supported years, MD postdoctoral fellows will attend clinic one or two half-days per week, as well as regular research meetings determined by their individual preceptors. We will leverage Stanford's rich environment to provide many additional opportunities for trainees interested in immunology, proteomics, genomics, clinical trials, and outcomes.
