Musculoskeletal Training Program

描述（由申请人提供）：肌肉骨骼培训计划代表了特殊外科医院（HSS）在基础和应用研究方面培训临床医生和科学家的持续承诺。目标是为积极性高的学员提供在学术骨科和相关领域取得成功所需的基本科学教育和研究技能。该计划的优势是教师的专业知识，他们涵盖了肌肉骨骼研究中广泛的学科基础，并为学员提供有趣的研究项目主题。该计划是基础研究和临床骨科之间的接口，重点是跨学科的方法，以临床相关的研究问题。该学院包括治疗患者和进行研究的临床科学家以及通过转化研究为患者护理做出贡献的科学家。其结果是一个多元化的计划，提供适当的榜样和直接临床应用的研究机会。学员还受益于最近加强HSS临床研究的努力 通过扩大流行病学和生物统计学、行政支持和相关数据资源（包括机构患者登记）方面的核心服务。 该方案是专为 一名博士前研究生和两名博士后研究生。实习生的选择是基于以前的学术和研究表现，推荐信，和面试。选择标准包括对研究的高度动机和对学术事业的承诺。培训在HSS进行，尽管学员受益于与威尔康奈尔医学院和康奈尔工程学院的密切合作，特别是威尔临床和转化科学中心（CTSC）和康奈尔-HSS生物力学工程项目。反恐委员会通过正式课程、研讨会和专题讨论会，以及与纽约市反恐委员会其他伙伴机构的接触，为受训人员提供大量机会。Cornell-HSS计划为学员提供在伊萨卡主校区使用教育，培训和研究资源的能力，沿着与肌肉骨骼研究相关学科的学生和教师互动的机会。 HSS研究部门有超过50名科学家由联邦和非联邦基金支持，其中大部分是培训计划的教师。实验室和办公空间是最先进的研究，从软骨生物学到生物力学和临床骨科。核心设施包括肌肉骨骼成像，分析显微镜，机械和材料评估，动物护理，生物统计学和流式细胞术。HS及其附属机构的这些以及所有其他临床和研究设施均可供学员使用。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Musculoskeletal Training Program represents the continued commitment of the Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) to train clinicians and scientists in basic and applied research. The goal is to provide highly motivated trainees with the basic science education and research skills necessary for a successful career in academic orthopaedics and related fields. The program's strength is the expertise of the faculty, who cover a broad base of disciplines within musculoskeletal research and who provide trainees with interesting topics for research projects. The program is an interface between basic research and clinical orthopaedics with emphasis on interdisciplinary approaches to clinically relevant research problems. The faculty includes clinician scientists who treat patients and conduct research and scientists who contribute to patient care through translational research. The result is a diverse program providing appropriate role models and research opportunities with direct clinical application. Trainees also benefit from recent efforts to enhance clinical research at HSS through expanded core services in epidemiology and biostatistics, administrative support, and associated data resources, including institutional patient registries. The program is designed for one predoctoral and two postdoctoral trainees. Trainee selection is based on prior academic and research performance, recommendation letters, and an interview. Selection criteria include high motivation for research and commitment to an academic career. Training is conducted at HSS, though trainees benefit from the close collaboration with Weill Cornell Medical College and Cornell's School of Engineering, especially the Weill Clinical and Translational Science Center (CTSC)and the Cornell-HSS Program in Biomechanical Engineering. The CTSC provides considerable opportunities to trainees through formal coursework, seminars and symposia, and access to other CTSC partnering institutions in New York City. The Cornell-HSS Program provides trainees the ability to use educational, training, and research resources at the main campus in Ithaca, along with the opportunity to interact with students and faculty in disciplines related to musculoskeletal research. The HSS Research Division has more than fifty scientists supported by federal and non-federal funds, most of who serve as the Training program faculty. The laboratories and office space are state-of-the-art for research that spans from cartilage biology to biomechanics and clinical orthopaedics. Core facilities include musculoskeletal imaging, analytical microscopy, mechanical and material assessment, animal care, biostatistics, and flow cytometry. These and all other clinical and research facilities at HS and its affiliated institutions are available to trainees.
