Research Training in Anesthesia

描述(由申请人提供)：麻醉学研究已经远远超出了对药物作用机制的研究。麻醉师的专业知识现在延伸到了术前护理的各个方面。这次竞争性的更新就是考虑到了这一点。我们的目的是为有才华和敬业的个人提供足够的时间，在非常成功的导师的指导下钻研尖端研究。该部门的目标是为下一代麻醉师的领导层贡献杰出的临床医生和科学家，而本提案中要求的资金将是这一过程中的重要工具。博士后培训计划将采用五个轨道。所有受训人员将全职参与研究培训，每周40小时，无论是实验室研究、教学培训、准备手稿和补助金，还是参加各种会议。这五个培训课程旨在为学员提供广泛的基础科学和临床研究机会，涉及与麻醉实践直接相关的领域：神经生物学、血管生物学、炎症/免疫、生物工程和临床研究。这五条赛道还利用了耶鲁大学的特殊优势，包括医学院和大学校园的教职员工。导师是经过战略选择的，具有以下素质：i)优秀的培训和指导历史-对于年轻的导师，与初级家庭工作人员良好互动的历史，以及令人兴奋和临床上的 相关研究计划被认为足以列入；ii)在五个选定的培训轨道中的一个或多个中侧重研究；iii)明确希望在以下方面培训多产的临床医生科学家 麻醉。虽然一些导师的兴趣显然属于这五条轨道中的一条，但许多导师的研究重点都落入不止一条轨道。此外，拥有多个科学领域专业知识的导师可以提供更丰富、更跨学科的培训经验，这将对学员在从T32项目中脱颖而出开始独立职业生涯后带来深远的好处。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Anesthesiology research has grown well beyond a search for drug mechanisms of action. The expertise of anesthesiologists now extends to all aspects of preoperative care. This competing renewal has been written with that in mind. It is our intention to provide talented and dedicated individuals with adequate time to delve into cutting edge research under the guidance of highly successful mentors. It is a goal of this department to contribute outstanding clinician-scientists to the leadership pool for the next generation of anesthesiologists and funds requested in this proposal will be an important tool in that process. The post-doctoral training program will employ five tracks. All trainees will be involved full-time, 40 hours per week, in research training, whether it be laboratory research, didactic training, preparing manuscripts and grants, or attending meetings and conferences. The five training tracks are designed to provide trainees with a breadth of basic science and clinical research opportunities, in areas that are directly relevant to anesthetic practice: Neurobiology, Vascular Biology, Inflammation/Immunity, Bioengineering, and Clinical Research. The five tracks also draw upon particular strengths at Yale, encompassing faculty from within the Medical School, and also from the University campus. Mentors have been strategically selected, and have the following qualities: i) history of outstanding training and mentorship - for younger mentors, a history of excellent interactions with junior house staff and an exciting and clinically relevant research program are deemed sufficient for inclusion; ii) research focus in one or more of the five selected training tracks; iii) clear desire to train productive clinician scientists in Anesthesia. While some mentors' interests fall clearly into one of the five tracks, many mentors have research foci that fall into more than one track. In addition, mentors having expertise across multiple scientific areas can provide a richer and more interdisciplinary training experience, which will be profoundly beneficial to trainees after they emerge from the T32 program to begin independent careers.
