Research Training Program in Surgical Oncology

项目总结 为了解决全国缺乏学术外科肿瘤学家的问题，该大学的外科系 迈阿密(UM)卫生系统和西尔维斯特综合癌症中心(SCCC)的成员，代表着 服务于多元化、多种族和弱势/少数群体的国际枢纽，致力于这一新的 T32培训计划，培养杰出的学术外科肿瘤学家-包括临床医生研究员和 内科科学家。外科科学家数量的减少与美国国立卫生研究院的担忧相关 关于缺乏熟练的调查人员能够领导将研究发现从板凳转化为 在床边。将两年的研究经验融入普通外科住院医师或外科肿瘤学 团契关系增加了外科医生追求学术职业的可能性。 该方案的具体目标是：1)提供基本的、翻译的、健康的 服务和/或临床外科肿瘤学假说驱动的研究，通过参与为期两年的量身定制的研究 为选定的外科住院医师和/或博士后提供指导和指导的博士后研究培训计划经验 研究员，利用UM外科和SCCC的广泛资源，2)整合外科 对普通外科住院医师和奖学金计划的肿瘤学研究，并为每个实习生配备 基础、翻译、医疗服务和临床研究方面的适当补充教学经验，3) 并培养和培训外科科学家成为多产的研究人员和未来的领导者 学术外科肿瘤学。我们的项目提供了广泛的研究培训领域的机会。 包括但不限于癌症生物学、分子治疗学、肿瘤免疫学、生物医学工程、 健康差距、人群健康和临床试验设计/实施。两种类型的研究培训是 提供：1)基础/翻译研究课程，学员在实验室中度过24个月或2)健康课程 差异和结果研究轨道，学员在一到两个人的指导下花费24个月的时间 教师导师；这一课程可能包括一年的基于实验室的研究，然后是一到两年 以人口为基础的研究。此外，我们的实习生还可以选择获得高级学位--或者 临床与转化研究理学硕士学位或公共卫生硕士学位。这 学术培训的多面性增加了在完成以下任务后获得学术职位的可能性 训练。我们的团队由经验丰富的医生和研究科学家导师组成，具有积极的外部同行评议 基金致力于最高质量的研究体验，提供最先进的外科培训 肿瘤学。拟议方案纳入了一项全面的培训计划，以负责任地开展 通过招聘和留住女性和少数族裔外科医生候选人来研究和促进多样性。这个 迈阿密大学为这项新研究提供了一个充满活力、鼓舞人心的大学学习环境 外科肿瘤学培训计划。

PROJECT SUMMARY To address the national shortage of academic surgical oncologists, the Department of Surgery at The University of Miami (UM) Health System and the Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center (SCCC), representing an international hub serving diverse, multi-ethnic and disadvantaged/minority populations, have dedicated this new T32 training program to producing outstanding academic surgical oncologists - both clinician investigators and physician scientists. The decrease in the number of surgeon scientists correlates with the NIH’s concern regarding the lack of skilled investigators capable of leading translation of research discoveries from bench to bedside. Integration of a two-year research experience into general surgery residency or surgical oncology fellowship enhances the likelihood that surgeons will pursue academic careers. The specific objectives of this program are: 1) to provide training in the conduct of basic, translational, health services and/or clinical surgical oncology hypothesis-driven research, through participation in a two-year, tailored didactic and mentored postdoctoral research training program experience for selected surgical residents and/or fellows, utilizing the extensive resources of the UM Department of Surgery and SCCC, 2) to integrate surgical oncology research into general surgery residency and fellowship programs and equip each trainee with appropriate supplemental didactic experiences in basic, translational, health services and clinical research, 3) and to develop and train surgeon-scientists to become productive researchers as well as future leaders in academic surgical oncology. Our program provides opportunities in a broad range of research training disciplines including, but not limited to, cancer biology, molecular therapeutics, tumor immunology, biomedical engineering, health disparities, population health, and clinical trial design/implementation. Two types of research training are offered: 1) a basic/translational research track in which trainees spend 24 months in the laboratory or 2) a health disparities and outcomes research track in which trainees spend 24 months under the direction of one or two of the faculty mentors; this track may include one year of laboratory-based research followed by a one to two years of population-based research. Additionally, our trainees have the option to earn an advanced degree - either a Master’s of Science in Clinical and Translational Investigation degree or a Masters of Public Health degree. This versatility in academic training increases the likelihood of obtaining an academic position upon completion of training. Our team of experienced physician-, and research-scientist mentors with active, external peer-reviewed funding are committed to the highest quality research experience, providing state of art training in surgical oncology. The proposed program incorporates a comprehensive training plan in the responsible conduct of research and promotes diversity by recruiting and retaining women, and minority surgeon candidates. The University of Miami offers a dynamic, stimulating and collegial learning environment for this new Research Training Program in Surgical Oncology.
