Critical Care Training Program

描述（由申请人提供）：这个机构培训补助金的初步提交旨在为博士后学员提供研究培训，他们将从事与重症监护相关的职业。该培训计划将在新成立的埃默里重症监护中心和埃默里大学医学院外科系联合开展。它将是多学科的性质，从外科，医学，儿科和生物化学部门的教师参加培训计划。培训计划为期两年，所有申请人必须具有研究生学位（MD，PhD或同等学历）。该培训计划的理念是建立在临床医生和研究人员之间强有力的合作基础上的转化科学。项目主任/主要研究者是埃默里大学外科教授、埃默里重症监护中心副主任克雷格库珀史密斯。PI/PD将与由医学博士Timothy Buchman组成的执行委员会密切合作（外科教授，埃默里重症监护中心主任），医学博士托马斯齐格勒（医学教授，联合项目主任，研究教育，培训和职业发展核心，亚特兰大临床和转化科学研究所）和格雷格马丁，医学博士（医学副教授，重症监护，肺，过敏和重症监护副主任）。该计划有来自多个部门的8名额外导师，在与重症监护相关的领域有着广泛的研究兴趣，从氧化应激到急性肺损伤，再到重症监护室的实施科学。该计划旨在通过让学员获得具有基础科学，转化和临床研究专业知识的导师来模拟重症监护的广泛范围。有机会跨越整个年龄范围的重大疾病-从新生儿到老年人。为了提供多样化的机会，导师们在亚特兰大地区的以下类型的医院工作-学术（埃默里大学医院），社区（埃默里大学医院中城），公共（格雷迪纪念医院），联邦资助（亚特兰大退伍军人事务医疗中心）和儿童（亚特兰大埃格尔斯顿儿童医院）。最终，研究培训计划旨在反映临床重症监护的协作和跨学科性质，并培养独立的研究人员，致力于改善重症监护病房患者的预后。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This initial submission for an institutional training grant is aimed at providing research training for postdoctoral trainees who will pursue careers related to critical care. The training program will be jointly based in the newly formed Emory Center for Critical Care and in the Department of Surgery at the Emory University School of Medicine. It will be multidisciplinary in nature, with faculty from the Departments of Surgery, Medicine, Pediatrics, and Biochemistry participating in the training program. The training program is two years of length, and all applicants must have a graduate level degree (MD, PhD or equivalent). The philosophy of this training program is translational science founded upon strong collaborations among clinicians and investigators. The program director/principal investigator is Craig Coopersmith, Professor of Surgery at Emory University and the Associate Director of the Emory Center for Critical Care. The PI/PD will interface closely with an executive committee made up of Timothy Buchman, PhD, MD (Professor of Surgery, Director Emory Center for Critical Care), Thomas Ziegler, MD (Professor of Medicine, Co-Program Director, Research Education, Training and Career Development Core, Atlanta Clinical and Translational Science Institute) and Greg Martin, MD (Associate Professor of Medicine, Associate Division Director for Critical Care, Pulmonary, Allergy and Critical Care). The program has 8 additional mentors from multiple departments, with widely varying research interests in domains related to critical care ranging from oxidative stress to acute lung injury to implementation science in the intensive care unit. The program has been designed to mimic the broad scope of critical care by giving trainees access to mentors with expertise in basic science, translational and clinical research. There are opportunities that span the entire age range of critical illness - from neonates to geriatrics. To provide a diverse set of opportunities, mentors are based at the following-types of hospitals in the Atlanta area - academic (Emory University Hospital), community (Emory University Hospital Midtown), public (Grady Memorial Hospital), federally-funded (Atlanta Veterans Affairs Medical Center), and children's (Children's Hospital of Atlanta at Egleston). Ultimately, the research training program is designed to reflect the collaborative and interdisciplinary nature of clinical critical care and to develop independent researchers dedicated to improving the outcomes of patients in the intensive care unit.
