Musculoskeletal Training Program

描述(由申请者提供)：肌肉骨骼培训计划代表了特殊外科医院(HSS)在基础和应用研究方面培训临床医生和科学家的持续承诺。其目标是为积极进取的受训者提供在学术、骨科和相关领域取得成功所必需的基本科学教育和研究技能。该计划的优势在于教师的专业知识，他们覆盖了肌肉骨骼研究的广泛学科基础，并为学员提供有趣的研究项目主题。该计划是基础研究和临床骨科之间的接口，重点是临床相关研究问题的跨学科方法。教职员工包括治疗患者和进行研究的临床医生科学家，以及通过转化性研究为患者护理做出贡献的科学家。其结果是一个多样化的计划，提供了适当的榜样和研究机会，并直接应用于临床。学员还受益于最近在HSS加强临床研究的努力 通过扩大流行病学和生物统计、行政支助和相关数据资源方面的核心服务，包括机构患者登记。该程序是为 一名博士后和两名博士后实习生。实习生的选择依据是以前的学术和研究表现、推荐信和面试。选择标准包括对研究的高度动力和对学术事业的承诺。培训在HSS进行，但受训者受益于与威尔·康奈尔医学院和康奈尔工程学院的密切合作，特别是与威尔临床和翻译科学中心(CTSC)和康奈尔-HSS生物机械工程计划的密切合作。CTSC通过正式的课程、研讨会和专题讨论会以及与纽约市其他CTSC伙伴机构的接触，为受训者提供了相当多的机会。康奈尔-HSS项目为学员提供了利用伊萨卡主校区的教育、培训和研究资源的能力，以及与肌肉骨骼研究相关学科的学生和教职员工互动的机会。HSS研究部有50多名由联邦和非联邦基金资助的科学家，他们中的大多数都是培训计划的教员。实验室和办公空间是从软骨生物学到生物力学和临床骨科的最先进的研究。核心设施包括肌肉骨骼成像、分析显微镜、机械和材料评估、动物护理、生物统计学和流式细胞术。这些设施以及HS及其附属机构的所有其他临床和研究设施都可供学员使用。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Musculoskeletal Training Program represents the continued commitment of the Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) to train clinicians and scientists in basic and applied research. The goal is to provide highly motivated trainees with the basic science education and research skills necessary for a successful career in academic orthopaedics and related fields. The program's strength is the expertise of the faculty, who cover a broad base of disciplines within musculoskeletal research and who provide trainees with interesting topics for research projects. The program is an interface between basic research and clinical orthopaedics with emphasis on interdisciplinary approaches to clinically relevant research problems. The faculty includes clinician scientists who treat patients and conduct research and scientists who contribute to patient care through translational research. The result is a diverse program providing appropriate role models and research opportunities with direct clinical application. Trainees also benefit from recent efforts to enhance clinical research at HSS through expanded core services in epidemiology and biostatistics, administrative support, and associated data resources, including institutional patient registries. The program is designed for one predoctoral and two postdoctoral trainees. Trainee selection is based on prior academic and research performance, recommendation letters, and an interview. Selection criteria include high motivation for research and commitment to an academic career. Training is conducted at HSS, though trainees benefit from the close collaboration with Weill Cornell Medical College and Cornell's School of Engineering, especially the Weill Clinical and Translational Science Center (CTSC)and the Cornell-HSS Program in Biomechanical Engineering. The CTSC provides considerable opportunities to trainees through formal coursework, seminars and symposia, and access to other CTSC partnering institutions in New York City. The Cornell-HSS Program provides trainees the ability to use educational, training, and research resources at the main campus in Ithaca, along with the opportunity to interact with students and faculty in disciplines related to musculoskeletal research. The HSS Research Division has more than fifty scientists supported by federal and non-federal funds, most of who serve as the Training program faculty. The laboratories and office space are state-of-the-art for research that spans from cartilage biology to biomechanics and clinical orthopaedics. Core facilities include musculoskeletal imaging, analytical microscopy, mechanical and material assessment, animal care, biostatistics, and flow cytometry. These and all other clinical and research facilities at HS and its affiliated institutions are available to trainees.
