Training for Clinician Scientists in Imaging Research

描述（由申请人提供）：这是T32培训补助金的竞争性更新，该补助金提供了成像研究的强化培训，其总体目标是增加临床科学家在未来研究生涯中使用成像的数量。有一个越来越严重的需要这样的医生成为未来的教师和导师在我们的主要临床专业。特别是，放射学在提供 正式的培训和研究机会，作为临床住院医师计划的一部分，但成像方法现在渗透到许多医学/科学学科。鉴于成像的跨学科性质，我们很幸运，除了放射科之外，还能够纳入T32拟议的部门/项目，例如普通内科、神经病学、神经病理学、精神病学、外科，以及本次更新中的肿瘤学和儿科实习生。在过去的4年和预计的第5年，我们已经成功地填补了我们的大部分插槽独特的共同资助的几个NIH研究所。 非教师居民和奖学金医生，特别是在放射学和T32拟议部门/计划，将获得一个结构化的，严格的研究培训，他们通常不会收到。教学课程将在临床年期间获得，包括确定培训导师和实验室，随后B至少1至2年的正式全职T32资助的研究。这也将直接与现有的更先进的培训计划，包括硕士和博士。学位授予计划和临床研究，以及机会和基础科学和公共卫生计划。通过在他们的职业生涯早期开始，我们预计这最终可能会对这些实习医生的职业道路产生重大影响。最终的结果将是越来越多的医生谁将开展与基础和应用方法相结合的研究生涯。 培训计划将包括培训年之前的明确教学课程，然后是T32培训年期间的一个完整学期的课程，并仔细分配导师和实验室。教师不仅来自放射学，而且来自相关的基础部门，包括生物工程，电气工程，心理学和公共卫生。因此，学员不仅将在放射学和其他T32拟议部门/计划实验室进行培训，而且还将在约翰霍普金斯大学和校内NIH（巴尔的摩和贝塞斯达）的附属部门以及潜在的工业科学实验室进行培训，提供真正的学科内研究培训体验。评价将包括正式的进度报告、模拟赠款的编制和审查以及出版物和所需的国家情况介绍。长期目标是吸引住院医师进入职业生涯 将成像研究作为他们未来学术生涯的主要组成部分。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is the competitive renewal of a T32 training grant that has provided intensive training in Imaging Research with the overall goal of increasing the number of clinician scientists employing imaging in their future research careers. There is an increasingly serious need for such physicians to become the future teachers and mentors in our major clinical specialties. In particular, Radiology has had a relatively weak history of providing formal training and research opportunities as part of the Clinical Residency Program and yet imaging methodology is now pervading many medical/scientific disciplines. Given the interdisciplinary nature of imaging, we have been fortunate to be able to include in addition to Radiology, T32 proposed departments/programs such as General Internal Medicine, Neurology, Neuropathology, Psychiatry, Surgery, and in this renewal, Oncology and Pediatric trainees. During the last 4 years and expected year 5, we have successfully filled the majority of our slots uniquely co-funded by several NIH institutes. Non-faculty residents and fellowship physicians, especially in Radiology and the T32 proposed departments/programs, will obtain a structured, rigorous research training that they would not normally receive. Didactic coursework will be obtained during the clinical years including identification of training mentors and labs followed b a minimum of 1 to 2 years of formal full- time T32 funded research. This also will directly be integrated with existing more advanced training programs, including M.S and Ph.D. degree granting programs and clinical investigation, as well as opportunities and basic science and public health programs. By starting early in their careers, we anticipate this may ultimately have a major effect on the career paths these trainee physicians will take. The ultimate outcome will be increased numbers of physicians who will carry out a research career integrated with both basic and applied approaches. The training program will consist of explicit didactic courses prior to the training year, followed by a full semester of courses during the T32 training years and carefully assigned mentors and laboratories. The faculty is drawn not only from Radiology but from the associated basic departments including Bioengineering, Electrical Engineering, Psychology, and Public Health. Thus, trainees will train not only in Radiology and the other T32 proposed department/program laboratories, but in affiliated departments at Johns Hopkins University and Intramural NIH (Baltimore and Bethesda), as well as potential industrial scientific labs, providing a true intra-disciplinary research training experience. Evaluation will include formal progress reports, mock grant preparation and review, as well as publications and required national presentations. The long-term goal is to attract resident physicians into a career employing imaging research as a major component of their future academic careers.
