Mount Sinai Neurology Resident-Researcher Training Program

描述（由申请人提供）：纵观其历史，西奈山神经病学系在培训学术神经学家方面表现出色。在过去的两年里，在科学家神经学家Sealfon博士的主持下，西奈山神经病学系致力于促进和改善优秀神经学家研究人员的培训。本申请建立一个正式的NINDS支持的研究-居民培训计划是一个努力的基石，涉及部门的各个方面和职业发展的各个阶段。在两年多的时间里，我们招募了16名新的教员，包括几名神经学家-科学家，重新设计了临床前神经科学课程，开发了为期12周的神经病学/精神病学/神经放射学/神经外科/研究第三年的见习，将我们的住院医师人数从18人增加到24人，设计了一个新的神经科学中午神经病学住院医师计划，由六个部门的教员授课，建立了正式的住院医师研究和初级教师指导计划，获得了一个新的奖学金计划（与其他工程）的批准，并招募了优秀的学术和研究型住院医师队伍。PI Sealfon博士23年来一直受到NIH的资助，此前曾指导过T32项目，并全心全意地致力于神经学家科学家的培训。作为我们学院和充满活力的机构的典型，我们经验丰富的研究培训教师是从除了神经病学的几个部门中选出的。该培训计划将在住院医师和研究员期间提供正式的密切指导的临床或基础研究经验，以发展技能，数据和出版物，以提交职业发展奖，并在像我们这样的研究密集型部门取得成功。该计划的成功将由学员获得K 08和K23奖项的比率，他们的学术地位和他们的研究贡献来判断。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Throughout its history, the Department of Neurology at Mount Sinai has excelled in training academic neurologists. Over the past two years, under the Chairmanship of Dr. Sealfon, a scientist-neurologist, the Department of Neurology at Mount Sinai has directed itself towards facilitating and improving the training of outstanding neurologist-researchers. The present application to establish a formal NINDS-supported research- resident training program is a cornerstone of an effort that involves all aspects of the department and all stages of career development. Over two years we have recruited sixteen new faculty members, including several neurologist-scientists, redesigned the preclinical neuroscience course, developed a 12 week neurology/psychiatry/neuroradiology/neurosurgery/research third year clerkship, increased the size of our residency from 18 to 24 residents, designed a new neuroscience-at-noon neurology residents program taught by faculty from half a dozen departments, established formal residency research and junior faculty mentoring programs, received approval for one new fellowship program (with others in the works) and recruited outstanding academic and research-oriented resident cohorts. The PI, Dr. Sealfon, has been continuously funded by NIH for 23 years, has previously directed a T32 program and is wholeheartedly committed to the training of neurologist-scientists. As is typical of our collegial and dynamic institution, our experienced research training faculty is selected from several departments in addition to Neurology. The training program will provide a formal closely-mentored clinical or basic research experience during residency and fellowship to develop the skills, data and publications to submit a career development award and to succeed in a research- intensive department like ours. Success of the program will be judged by the trainee's rate of obtaining K08 and K23 awards, their academic placement and their research contributions.
