Pediatrician-Scientist Training Program

描述（由申请人提供）：这是一份修订后的申请，旨在为波士顿儿童医院医学部的儿科医生和科学家提供机构培训资助。它旨在支持儿科医生的博士后培训，他们将继续从事学术儿科的职业。每年申请5个博士后职位，每5年申请一次。受训人员平均每人将接受两年的培训。培训教员由儿童医院的30名高级学术和科学领导组成，其中包括所有13名司长。受训者将根据严格和明确的标准，从医学部13个部门的临床和研究亚专业奖学金培训项目中选拔。他们将利用奖学金项目办公室和教师发展办公室（该办公室也协助波士顿儿童医院的所有其他博士后）提供的支持性环境。所有学员将参加由儿童医院临床研究项目主办的既定研究方法课程。学员将从两条轨道中选择一条。临床研究方向的学生将在哈佛大学公共卫生学院接受临床研究方法的教学指导，并可选择获得公共卫生硕士学位。参与实验室研究的学生将学习分子生物学、遗传学以及生物统计学课程。所有受训者将接受道德科学行为方面的指导。拟议的导师在培养儿科医生科学家和博士、非医学博士科学家方面有着良好的记录：在过去十年中，他们培养了432名医学博士和314名博士。在432名医学博士中，超过186名是富有成效的学术内科科学家，其中140名是儿科医生。其中，教授级13人，副教授级23人，助教级85人。其中有29名系主任或科长。这些前学员目前共获得86项NIH资助，并自己培养了超过285名第二代学员（包括18名教授，37名副教授和62名助理教授）。这项培训资助为越来越多的儿科医生提供了机会，让他们在久经考验的导师的指导下，进入严格的临床和实验室培训环境，从而为下一代的学术儿科医生科学家做出贡献。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a revised application for an institutional training grant for pediatric physician-scientists that will be centered in the Department of Medicine, Children's Hospital Boston. It is intended to support the postdoctoral training of pediatricians who will continue on to careers in academic pediatrics. Five postdoctoral positions per year are requested, for each of five years. Trainees will each train for an average of two years. The training faculty consist of 30 senior academic and scientific leaders at Children's Hospital, including all 13 Division Chiefs. Trainees will be selected, using rigorous and well-defined criteria, from those in clinical and research subspecialty fellowship training programs within the 13 Divisions within the Department of Medicine. They will take advantage of a supportive environment anchored by a Fellowship Program Office and an Office of Faculty Development (which also assists all other postdoctoral fellows at Children's Hospital Boston). All trainees will take an established course in research methods hosted by the Clinical Research Program of Children's Hospital. Trainees will pursue one of two tracks. Those in the clinical research track will receive didactic instruction at the Harvard School of Public Health in clinical research methods, with the choice of receiving an M.P.H. Those involved in laboratory research will take courses in molecular biology and genetics as well as biostatistics. All trainees will receive instruction in ethical scientific conduct. The proposed mentors have a strong track record in training pediatrician-scientists alongside PhD, non-MD scientists: during the past decade, they have trained 432 MDs and 314 PhDs. Of the 432 MDs, over 186 are productive academic physician-scientists, 140 of whom are pediatricians. Of these, 13, 23, and 85 are at the academic level of professor, associate professor, and assistant professor, respectively. There are 29 Department Chairs or Division/Section Chiefs among them. These former trainees currently hold in aggregate 86 NIH grants and have themselves trained over 285 second-generation trainees (including 18 professors, 37 associate professors, and 62 assistant professors). This training grant offers the opportunity to bring an increasing number of pediatricians into rigorous clinical and bench training environments under the direction of proven mentors, so that they can contribute to the next generation of academic pediatrician scientists.
