Geographic Medicine and Emerging Infections

描述（申请人提供）：该地理医学和新发传染病培训项目为阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦医学院（爱因斯坦）的博士生、博士后研究人员和临床研究员提供多学科教育计划。我们独特的项目利用了爱因斯坦长期以来的研究和临床优势，创建了一个严格的研究项目，将使学员接触到寄生虫学、细菌学、病毒学、真菌学和临床传染病的研究。研究项目和教学活动将临床医生和基础科学家聚集在一起，营造一个对现代生物医学研究至关重要的合作研究环境。受训者由20名杰出的教师指导，同时从事以全球卫生、国际医学和新发传染病为重点的转化研究项目。该项目提供基础实验室研究、临床转化研究和流行病学的基本方法培训，以创建地理医学和新兴病原体的综合视图。学员有机会与印度、马拉维、卢旺达和南非等地的国际合作者合作进行转化研究。专门的系列研讨会、转化研究的创新课程和其他已建立的教育活动为讨论和发展新倡议提供了论坛。该培训计划旨在培养地理医学和新兴感染领域的下一代年轻科学家和临床研究人员。公共卫生叙述：此应用程序适用于阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦医学院的一个教育项目，为博士生和博士后提供地理医学和新发传染病方面的培训，特别强调全球传染病的转化研究。这是一项迫切需要，因为感染可能出现在世界任何地方，并由于国际商业的盛行和国际旅行的便利而迅速传播。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This training program in Geographic Medicine and Emerging Infections provides a multidisciplinary educational program for pre-doctoral students, post-doctoral research fellows and clinical fellows at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine (Einstein). Our unique program capitalizes upon the long-standing research and clinical strengths at Einstein to create a rigorous research program that will expose trainees to research in parasitology, bacteriology, virology, mycology and clinical infectious diseases. The research program and didactic activities bring together clinicians and basic scientists to foster an environment of collaborative research that is essential for modern biomedical research. Trainees are mentored by 20 distinguished faculty while pursuing translational research projects that focus on global health, international medicine and emerging infectious diseases. The program provides training in fundamental methods of basic laboratory research, clinical translational research and epidemiology to create an integrated view of geographic medicine and emerging pathogens. Trainees are provided with opportunities to pursue translational research in collaboration with international collaborators in locations such as India, Malawi, Rwanda and South Africa. A dedicated seminar series, an innovative course in translational research, and other established educational activities provide the forum for discussion and development of new initiatives. This training program is grooming the next generation of young scientists and clinical investigators in the field of Geographic Medicine and Emerging Infections. Public Health Narrative: This application is for an educational program at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine for doctoral students and post-doctoral fellows that provides training in Geographic Medicine and Emerging Infectious Diseases, with particular emphasis on translational research focusing on global infectious diseases. This is a critical need as infection can emerge from anywhere in the world and rapidly spread due to the prevalence of international commerce and the ease of international travel.
