Neuroscience Resident Research Program

摘要 这是一份更新建议书，描述了神经病学和神经外科的研究培训计划 马萨诸塞州总医院（MGH）和哈佛布莱根妇女医院（BWH）的住院医师 医学院（HMS）。该计划结合了令人兴奋的各种合作研究机会 在这些校园中，有一个专门的神经科学导师核心小组， 包括一名直接负责候选人科学活动的“研究”导师的系统， 负责R25候选人整体职业发展的“入门”导师。研究导师 是从我们两个机构和波士顿其他机构的大量研究人员中挑选出来的。 区网关导师是根据研究活动，指导临床医生的经验， 成功的研究生涯的早期阶段，并致力于这一计划，以发展神经病学和 神经外科住院医生转变为有效的医生科学家。此外，一个指导委员会密切监督 住院医师研究培训经验方面。该计划已经取得了巨大的成功， 前9年的资助，其中包括50名学员谁产生了许多高影响力的第一作者 出版物和赢得的基础以及K12，K23和K08资金，并被聘为教师职位。 这种程序结构建立在这些成功的基础上，以确保神经病学和神经外科住院医师 获得最高水平的培训可能启动职业生涯作为杰出的物理学家，科学家。

ABSTRACT This is a renewal proposal describing the Research Training Program for Neurology and Neurosurgery Residents at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) of Harvard Medical School (HMS). The program combines the exciting variety of collaborative research opportunities available at these campuses with a dedicated core group of neuroscience mentors aligned in a two tiered system which includes a `research' mentor directly responsible for the scientific activities of the candidate and a `gateway' mentor responsible for the overall career development of the R25 candidate. Research mentors are selected from the enormous field of researchers at our two institutions and other institutions in the Boston area. The gateway mentors are selected on the basis of research activity, experience guiding clinicians in the early stages of successful research careers, and commitment to this program to develop neurology and neurosurgery residents into effective physician-scientists. In addition, a steering committee closely oversees all aspects of the resident research training experience. This program has already had tremendous success in its first 9 years of funding which has included 50 trainees who have produced numerous high-impact first author publications and earned foundation as well as K12, K23 and K08 funding and been hired into faculty positions. This programmatic structure builds on these successes to ensure that neurology and neurosurgical residents obtain the highest level of training possible to launch careers as outstanding physician-scientists.
