摘要 通过研究和教育推动头颈外科领域的发展一直是定义 这个部门的使命。这一培训计划旨在扩大这一使命，以满足对外科医生的迫切需求- 耳鼻喉科所有领域的科学家--头颈外科。每年两名住院医生将开始18岁的 一个月的研究技能发展，旨在导致作为学术外科医生的长期成功- 科学家。培训期间促进创新、协作和强烈的研究道德，所有这些都由Close指导 为每个学员提供个性化的指导和个人发展计划。另外，一名医科学生 培训计划将加强具有研究兴趣的合格医学生的渠道 通过九个月的密集研究和指导，在耳鼻喉科-头颈手术中匹敌 程序。我们预计，这一努力将增加我们专业范围内的多样性，以及当地的多样性。 最后，“沟通障碍”系列研讨会将向学员和 附属于本课程及相关系的教职员。 该项目的研究主题由20名成功的教职员工研究人员组成，包括：1) 喉生理和声音感知，2)听力和前庭功能，3)头颈癌，4) 生物工程和生物信息学。导师团队，由一名全职研究人员和一名医生组成- 科学家将合作促进学员在学术生涯所需的各个方面的发展。 包括课程工作、赠款撰写、演讲和研究出版物在内的里程碑将确保发展 成为成功和多才多艺的研究人员所需的技能。

ABSTRACT Advancing the field of head and neck surgery through research and education has long been the defining mission of this department. This training program seeks to extend that mission to fill the urgent need for surgeon- scientists in all areas of otolaryngology-head and neck surgery. Two residents per year will embark on an 18 month period of research skills development designed to lead to long-term success as academic surgeon- scientists. The training period promotes innovation, collaboration, and strong research ethics, all guided by close mentoring and an individual development plan personalized for each trainee. Additionally, a medical student training program will enhance the pipeline of diverse medical students with research interests who are qualified to match in Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, via a nine-month intensive research and mentoring program. We expect that this effort will increase diversity within our specialty as a whole, as well as locally. Finally, a “Communication Disorders” seminar series will disseminate state-of-the-art knowledge to trainees and faculty affiliated with this program and related departments. Research themes of the program are grounded by 20 successful faculty researchers and include: 1) Laryngeal Physiology and Voice Perception, 2) Hearing and Vestibular Function, 3) Head and Neck Cancer, 4) Bioengineering and Bioinformatics. Mentorship teams, comprising one full-time researcher and one physician- scientist, will collaborate to enhance the trainee's development in all aspects needed for an academic career. Milestones including coursework, grant-writing, presentations and research publications will ensure development of those skills needed to become successful and versatile researchers.
