UNC-Clinician-Scientist Training Program in Cardiovascular Medicine

描述（由申请人提供）：位于查佩尔山的北卡罗来纳州大学（UNC-CH）的心血管医学临床医生-科学家培训计划旨在为未来希望从事学术临床医生-科学家职业的心脏病专家提供两年的集中研究培训。它主要侧重于为临床专业为心脏病学的医生提供基础科学和/或转化研究方面的额外培训，同时还容纳心脏外科医生或其他有兴趣在涉及心血管疾病的学术领域从事职业的医生。该培训计划汇集了来自基础科学和临床学科的教师，包括几位在培训期间获得NRSA资助的导师。在当前的资助周期内，培训计划共资助了9名学员，包括3名医学博士，博士，2名医学博士，硕士，3名医学博士和1名博士。有四个女人和五个男人。受训人员中有8名是医生，其中5名在心脏病学、1名在普通外科、1名在流变学/过敏和免疫学、1名在核医学方面接受临床培训。在接受培训成为心脏病专家的五名人员中，其中两名医生拥有博士学位，四名医生在进入培训计划之前至少花了一年的时间进行基础科学研究。受训人员的工作取得了成功，发表了大量文章并在国家会议上作了发言。2010年完成临床培训的一名医生开始了学术生涯;由于培训计划相对较新，其他受训人员都没有完成所有临床和研究培训。在本申请中，我们要求为心血管医学的临床医生-科学家培训计划提供第二个五年期的资金。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Clinician-Scientist Training Program in Cardiovascular Medicine at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) is designed to provide two years of concentrated research training for future cardiologists who wish to pursue careers as academic Clinician-Scientists. It is primarily focused on providing additional training in basic science and/or translational research to physicians whose clinical specialty will be cardiology while also accommodating cardiac surgeons or other physicians interested in pursuing a career in an academic field involving cardiovascular disease. The Training Program brings together faculty from basic science and clinical disciplines and includes several mentors who were recipients of NRSA funding during their training. During the current funding cycle, the training program has supported a total of nine trainees including 3 MD, PhD, 2 MD, MSc, 3 MD and 1 PhD. There have been four women and five men. Eight of the trainees are physicians with five pursuing clinical training in Cardiology, one in General Surgery, one in Rheumatology/Allergy and Immunology and one in Nuclear Medicine. Of the five individuals who are training to be cardiologists, two of these physicians have a PhD and four spent at least one year of dedicated time pursuing basic science research prior to entering the Training Program. The trainees have been successful in their work and have published and made presentations at national meetings at an impressive rate. One of the physicians who finished clinical training in 2010 embarked upon academic career; because of the relative newness of the Training Program, none of the other trainees have completed all of their clinical and research training. In this application, we are requesting that the Clinician-Scientist Training Program in Cardiovascular Medicine be funded for a second five year period.
