Emory Psychiatry Clinical Scientist Training Program (CSTP)

描述(由申请人提供)：埃默里精神病学临床科学家培训计划(CSTP)(R25，NIMH研究教育补助金)将创建一个以研究为重点的住院医师培训计划，以解决严重缺乏训练有素的内科科学家从事学术研究的问题。医学研究所认为，维持和培养住院医生的研究兴趣对精神病学研究的未来至关重要。这项建议通过四个具体目标系统地解决这些问题：目标1将建立一个强化的研究课程，使所有居民广泛接触研究方法和批判性思维。这一目标将包括正式的教学、亲身实践的体验学习活动、与教师研究人员的接触，这一系列课程是一名“导师” Match“计划，以促进与项目教师及其研究项目的早期整合，以及为期两个月的研究密集型选修课，以在PGY-2年内吸引和嵌入有动机的住院医生。Aim 2将建立CSTP招聘和录取程序，以主动寻找并吸引有前途的住院医生参与结构化的、 基于Mentor的CSTP研究路径。我们预计Emory CSTP将对普通精神病学住院医师计划的申请者具有吸引力，从而进一步促进有前途的内科科学家的招聘。AIM 3将建立CSTP指导研究轨道，CSTP研究轨道的住院医师将有受保护的时间用于指导研究和密集研究教学，以及通过亚特兰大临床和翻译科学研究所提供的专门研究培训。AIM 4将建立CSTP的评估和传播部分，该部分将为研究跟踪住院医师和计划监测可衡量的进展基准，并将努力吸引其他住院医师方案，以纳入Emory CSTP战略，以促进住院医师研究培训。Emory CSTP的总体目标是用强大的、以研究为重点的内容来补充已经蓬勃发展和成功的精神病学住院医师培训计划，其中包括为所有住院医师提供增强的研究培训，同时为准备成为内科科学家的住院医师提供专门的有指导的研究培训机会。拟议的计划强调通过基于互联网的战略、体验式研究学习活动、整个驻院期间的指导以及在神经调节、恐惧和创伤相关障碍的神经生物学、行为免疫学和内分泌学、神经发育、翻译社会神经科学和社区精神病学等领域的创新研究教师和研究计划，增加机会、积极参与和创新指导的研究机会。有了坚实的研究培训基础、持续的教员支持、导师和独立研究经验以及专门的研究培训，CSTP研究轨道住院医生将具备追求学术生涯的良好条件，致力于解决精神病学中最紧迫的问题。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Emory Psychiatry Clinical Scientist Training Program (CSTP) (R25, NIMH Research Education Grant) will create a research-focused residency training program to address the critical shortage of well-trained physician scientists pursuing a career in academic research. The Institute of Medicine deemed that sustaining and nurturing the research interests of residents is vital to the future of psychiatry research. This proposal systematically addresses these issues through four specific aims: AIM 1 will establish an Enhanced Research Curriculum for a broad-based exposure to research approaches and critical thinking for all residents. This aim will incorporate formal didactics, hands-on experiental learning activities, exposure to faculty researchers in a "Particle to Professor" Series, a "Mentor Match" program to facilitate early integration with program faculty and their research programs, and a two-month Research Intensive Elective to engage and embed motivated residents in research labs in the PGY-2 year. AIM 2 will establish the CSTP Recruitment and Admission process to proactively identify and engage promising residents for participation in the structured, mentor-based CSTP research track. We anticipate the Emory CSTP will become an attractive draw for applicants to the general psychiatry residency program, thus further promoting recruitment of promising physician scientists. AIM 3 will establish the CSTP Mentored Research Track, where CSTP research track residents will have protected time for mentored research and intensive research didactics as well as specialized research training available through the Atlanta Clinical and Translational Science Institute. AIM 4 will establish the Evaluation and Dissemination component of the CSTP, which will monitor measurable benchmarks of progress for research track residents and the program, and will work toward engaging other residency programs to incorporate Emory CSTP strategies to promote resident research training. The overarching goal of the Emory CSTP is to supplement an already thriving and successful Psychiatry Residency Training Program with a strong, research-focused component that includes enhanced research training for all residents, while providing specialized mentored research training opportunities for residents poised to become physician-scientists. The proposed program emphasizes increased access, proactive engagement and innovative mentored research opportunities through internet-based strategies, experiential research learning activities, mentorship throughout residency and exposure to innovative research faculty and research programs in areas including neuromodulation, the neurobiology of fear and trauma-related disorders, behavioral immunology and endocrinology, neurodevelopment, translational social neuroscience and community psychiatry. Given a solid research training base, ongoing faculty support, mentorship, and independent research experiences as well as specialized research training, CSTP research track residents will be well-equipped to pursue academic careers, working to solve the most pressing problems in psychiatry.
