Pediatric Hospital Epidemiology and Outcomes research Training (PHEOT) Program

描述（由申请人提供）：费城儿童医院（CHOP）的儿科医院流行病学和结果研究培训（PHEOT）项目是一个为期两年的研究奖学金，旨在为医生提供医院流行病学和结果研究方面的培训。通过将正式课程和有指导的研究项目相结合，受训者将在与儿科医院护理有关的比较有效性研究、质量测量、严重程度调整和经济评估方面发展专门知识。PHEOT项目将培训下一代临床科学家，他们将帮助我们了解如何最好地衡量和改善结果，确保患者安全，并管理住院儿童的成本。受训者将受益于CHOP的小约瑟夫·斯托克斯研究所两个中心的综合资源；结果研究中心和儿科临床有效性中心，以及一系列用于评估和改进医疗保健过程和结果的“实验室”，包括儿科高级护理服务、普通儿科住院服务、模拟、高级教育和创新中心以及质量和患者安全中心（COPS）。作为临床流行病学和生物统计学中心提供的临床流行病学硕士学位（MSCE）或RWJ临床学者计划和宾夕法尼亚大学伦纳德·戴维斯卫生经济学研究所提供的卫生政策研究硕士学位（MSHP）的一部分，所有研究员将完成研究设计和生物统计学硕士课程。研究员将被分配一个由经验丰富的方法、内容和生物统计学导师组成的咨询小组，他们将监督实习生成功完成和发表至少一个研究项目。PHEOT研究员还将受益于一系列专业发展活动，包括正在进行的工作会议、教授学术医学技能的系列研讨会、专门针对儿科流行病学和结果研究的方法系列讲座，以及在国家会议上展示研究成果的机会。PHEOT项目的毕业生将准备执行NIH路线图中迫切要求的转化研究-将初步临床研究的结果转化为改进的临床实践和医院的健康决策。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Pediatric Hospital Epidemiology and Outcomes Research Training (PHEOT) Program at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) is a 2-year research fellowship designed to provide physicians with training in hospital epidemiology and outcomes research. Through a combination of formal coursework and mentored research projects, trainees will develop expertise in comparative effectiveness research, quality measurement, severity adjustment and economic evaluation as they relate to pediatric hospital care. The PHEOT program will train the next generation of clinical scientists who will help us to understand how to best measure and improve outcomes, assure patient safety, and manage costs for hospitalized children. Trainees will benefit from the combined resources of two Centers at CHOP'S Joseph Stokes Jr. Research Institute; The Center for Outcomes Research and the Center for Pediatric Clinical Effectiveness, as well as a rich array of "laboratories" for evaluating and improving health care processes and outcomes, including the Pediatric Advanced Care Service, the General Pediatrics Inpatient Service, the Center for Simulation, Advanced Education and Innovation, and the Center for Quality and Patient Safety (COPS). All fellows will complete Masters level coursework in study design and biostatistics as part of either the Masters of Science in Clinical Epidemiology (MSCE) degree offered through the Center for Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics, or the Masters of Science in Health Policy Research (MSHP) degree offered through the RWJ Clinical Scholars Program and the Leonard Davis Institute of Health Economics at Penn. Fellows will be assigned an advisory team consisting of seasoned methodology, content, and biostatistics mentors who will supervise the trainee in the successful completion and publication of at least one research project. PHEOT fellows will also benefit from a host of professional development activities, including works-in-progress sessions, a seminar series to teach academic medicine skills, a methods lecture series specifically tailored to pediatric epidemiology and outcomes research, and opportunities to present research at national meetings. Graduates of the PHEOT program will be prepared to perform the translational research so urgently called for in the NIH Roadmap- to translate the results of preliminary clinical research into improved clinical practice and health decision making in the hospital.
