Surgical Research Training in Gastrointestinal Diseases

描述（由申请人提供）：我们的外科研究计划将为年轻的外科住院医生提供独特的，密集的和跨学科的培训经验，在消化道，肝脏和胰腺外科疾病的学术调查的两个轨道之一：1）基础科学轨道，为个人学员提供生物医学研究基础方面的结构化研究经验，包括分子生物学、生理学、生物化学、内分泌学、药理学、免疫学和细胞生物学，或2）流行病学、结果和卫生服务轨道，提供生物统计学和流行病学方面的正式培训，因为它们与消化道外科疾病有关。两名学员将参加第一个轨道也有机会获得医学硕士学位，其中包括写一份提案和他们的研究项目的最后论文。一名学员将获得临床科学硕士学位，并将熟练掌握相关技能。 有必要成为比较有效和卫生服务研究领域的独立调查员，包括基础和先进的生物统计学，大型数据集分析，行政数据的使用（例如，医疗保险和SEER-Medicare数据库），临床流行病学，卫生政策和医疗保健经济学。每个受训者将在临床职责之外投入2-3年的实验室和教育时间来进行研究。我们的双轨计划的主要目标是准备外科住院医生成为独立和成功的学术外科医生，无论他们选择外科医生科学家或公共卫生研究人员的道路。我们的教师的研究兴趣都集中在胃肠道疾病的主题，包括肝脏和胰腺，以癌症和炎症的研究为主。我们的学员提供了一个多样化的研究经验，鼓励选择二级职业导师，并从事预先存在的跨部门合作。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Our surgical research program will provide young surgical residents a unique, intensive and interdisciplinary training experience in one of two tracks for scholarly investigations in surgical diseases of the alimentary tract, liver, and pancreas: 1) the basic science track, which provides the individual trainee a structured research experience in the fundamental aspects of biomedical research, including aspects of molecular biology, physiology, biochemistry, endocrinology, pharmacology, and immunology and cell biology, or 2) the epidemiology, outcomes, and health services track, which provides formal training in biostatistics and epidemiology as they pertain to surgical diseases of the digestive tract. Two trainees will be enrolled in the first track have the opportunity also to obtain a Maste in Medical Science, which will include writing a proposal and final dissertation on their research project. One trainee will earn a Master in Clinical Science and will gain proficiency in the skills necessary to become independent investigators in the field of comparative effective and health services research including basic and advanced biostatistics, large dataset analysis, use of administrative data (e.g., Medicare and SEER-Medicare databases), clinical epidemiology, health policy, and healthcare economics. Each trainee will dedicate 2-3 years of laboratory and education time free of clinical duties to pursue their investigations. The primary goal of our two-track program is to prepare surgical residents to become independent and successful academic surgeons, whether they choose the path of surgeon-scientist or public health researcher. The research interests of our faculty members all center on the theme of gastrointestinal diseases, including the liver and pancreas, with a predominance on the study of cancer and inflammation. Our trainees are provided a diverse research experience, encouraged to select secondary career mentors and engage in pre-existing interdepartmental collaborations.
