RESEARCH TRACK RADIOLOGY RESIDENCY

 描述（由申请人提供）：宾夕法尼亚大学放射学系建议继续其创新培训计划，旨在培养成像临床科学家。成像在临床护理和生物医学研究中的作用不断扩大，导致对基于成像的临床科学家的迫切需求。有一个人才库的居民申请学术放射住院医师计划在美国各地，只有一小部分追求学术生涯。即使是一小部分受训者也会发展成为临床科学家。本提案所述的培训计划继续为对成像科学家职业感兴趣的学员设计的住院医师培训。这条赛道是围绕着宾夕法尼亚大学放射学系内优秀的临床培训计划和大型研究基础设施而建立的。研究轨道包括1年的研究培训期间居住和第二个可选的研究奖学金年。临床培训除了满足委员会认证的要求外，还侧重于受训者特别感兴趣的领域。除了研究preceptorships，该计划还包括教学课程， 影像技术、基础生物学、生物统计学和临床研究设计。研究研讨会和密切的指导也代表了该计划的重要组成部分。通过国家居民匹配计划提供的这种综合培训计划提供了一个机会，让居民在培训的早期参与，从而培养出忠诚的、训练有素的成像临床科学家，满足国家的需求。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Department of Radiology at the University of Pennsylvania proposes continuation of its innovative training program with the aim of developing imaging clinician scientists. The expanding role of imaging in clinical care and biomedical research has resulted in an acute need for imaging-based clinician scientists. There is a talented pool of resident applicants to academic radiology residency programs across the US, with only a small fraction pursuing academic careers. Even a smaller fraction of trainees are developed into clinician scientists. The training program described for this proposal continues the residency track designed for trainees interested in careers as imaging scientists. This track was built around the excellent clinical training programs and the large research infrastructure within Penn's Radiology department. The research track includes 1 year of research training during residency and a second optional research fellowship year. Clinical training focuses on areas of specific interest to the trainee in addition to meeting the requirement for board certification. In addition to the research preceptorships, the program includes didactic courses in imaging technology, basic biology, biostatistics, and clinical research design. Research seminars and close mentoring also represent significant components of the program. This integrated training program offered through the National Residents Matching program offers an opportunity to engage residents early in their training, resulting in committed, well-trained imaging clinical scientists, which meets a national need.
