Postdoctoral Training Grant for MDs in Surgical Oncology Research

项目摘要/摘要 在以下情况下，接受过外科肿瘤学研究培训的医生数量不足 考虑到大多数实体瘤患者将手术作为其临床工作的一部分 管理层。改善对这些患者的护理符合NCI的利益。至关重要的是 更多的外科医生参与以患者为中心的研究，其他医生接受培训 与癌症患者外科治疗相关的肿瘤学研究。三个目标 这项申请的目的是1)增加训练有素的外科医生和附属医生的数量 谁开展了以患者为中心的癌症研究，2)加强了对癌症研究的深度培训 外科医生在研究培训期间提供高级学位，以及3)增加 少数民族和女性外科医生在外科肿瘤学学术实践中的数量。实习生 将参加以下两个研究方向之一：转化实验室科学(TLS)、临床 肿瘤学(CSO)。这些路径将是结构化的，并将包括关联的 课程和适当的导师。但是，可以灵活地将培训包括在其他 研究领域和其他与研究有关的技能，这将增加受训人员的教育 经历。具有至少两年临床培训的外科住院医师将被录取 和其他非外科的，但与肿瘤相关的MD/DO实习生可以被录取 但将填补不超过25%的实习生职位。总共将有四名实习生 给你点时间。学员将进入一个专门的、2-3年的培训期，其中包括一个核心 与实体肿瘤肿瘤学相关的研究项目，以及与他们的研究相匹配的课程作业 跟踪，具有临床研究硕士学位或博士学位的选项。强烈强调的是 把学习技能放在终身研究和学术临床相结合的职业生涯中 练习一下。这些将包括研究伦理、拨款撰写、研究设计、数据分析、 预算、手稿写作和压力管理。通过这种方法，一群年轻的，好的- 将培养训练有素的外科医生和相关医生，他们将拥有执行手术的工具 专门针对人类肿瘤的高质量、伦理学、转化性和临床研究 肿瘤学。

Project Summary / Abstract The number of physicians trained to perform surgical oncology research is inadequate when considering that most patients with solid tumors undergo surgery as part of their clinical management. Improving the care of these patients is in the interests of the NCI. It is critical that more surgeons are involved in patient-oriented research and that other physicians be trained in oncology research related to the surgical management of cancer patients. The three objectives of this application are 1) To increase the number of well-trained surgeons and affiliated physicians who perform patient-oriented cancer research, 2) To enhance the depth of research training of surgeons by offering advanced degrees during their research training, and 3) To increase the number of minority and female surgeons in the academic practice of surgical oncology. Trainees will be enrolled in one of two research tracks: Translational Laboratory Science (TLS), Clinical Science in Oncology (CSO). These tracks will be structured and will include associated curriculum, and appropriate mentors. However, there will be flexibility to include training in other research areas and in other research-related skills, which will augment the trainees’ educational experiences. Surgical residents with a minimum of two years of clinical training will be admitted to the program, and other non-surgical, yet oncologically related MD/DO trainees may be admitted but will fill no more than 25% of the trainee positions. There will be a total of four trainees at any given time. Trainees will enter a dedicated, 2-3 year training period that will include a core research project related to solid tumor oncology, plus coursework selected to match their research track, with the option for a Master’s degree in Clinical Research or PhD. Strong emphasis will be placed on learning skills required for life-long careers in research combined with academic clinical practice. These will include research ethics, grant writing, research design, data analysis, budgeting, manuscript writing, and stress management. By this approach, a cohort of young, well- trained surgeons and associated physicians will be developed who will have the tools to perform high quality, ethical, translational and clinical research specifically centered on human tumor oncology.
