Integrated Training in Anesthesiology Research

描述(由申请人提供)：该项目的目标是为博士后研究员提供足够的研究培训，使他们能够建立独立的调查职业生涯，致力于通过促进该领域的知识来改善对麻醉/危重患者的护理。为了实现这一目标，杜克大学医学中心麻醉学系投入大量资源，开发能够提供最先进研究培训经验的多学科实验室和临床研究环境。这项提议概述了愿意并准备实现这一目标的多样化但有凝聚力的教职员工的资历。 培训计划的结构包括2-3年的连续培训，受训人员在教员的密切和直接监督下进行共同感兴趣的研究项目。早期的重点将放在学习研究技能和掌握文献。稍后的重点将放在独立假设的产生、实验设计、数据分析、研究结果的陈述和竞争外部资金上。学员将被鼓励利用与项目教员建立的关系，以丰富研究技能和发展长期合作关系。负责任的研究行为培训将是该计划不可或缺的一部分。该计划将由计划主任和一个由4名培训教师和系主任组成的执行委员会指导。这些人员将每季度举行一次会议，以评估计划在实现所述目标方面的表现，并审查个别受训人员的活动和进展情况。受训人员将从全国合格的候选人库中寻找。虽然该项目的主要重点是培训精选的博士后研究员，但也被认为麻醉学研究综合培训计划是基础，并为同样提供给共享实验室/临床研究环境的医学生、初级教师和国际学者的调查性培训设定了标准。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of this program is to provide postdoctoral fellows with research training sufficient to allow them to establish independent investigative careers devoted to improving care of the anesthetized/critically ill patient by advancing knowledge in the field. To meet this objective, the Department of Anesthesiology at Duke University Medical Center has intensively invested its resources in the development of multidisciplinary laboratory and clinical research environments capable of offering state of the art research training experiences. This proposal outlines the credentials of a diverse but cohesive faculty who are willing and prepared to meet this objective. The structure of the training program involves a 2-3 year continuum when the trainees work under the close and direct supervision of a faculty member on research projects of mutual interest. Early emphasis will be placed on learning research skills and achieving mastery of the literature. Later emphasis will be directed towards independent hypothesis generation, experimental design, data analysis, presentation of research findings and competition for external funding. The trainee will be encouraged to exploit relationships established with members of the program faculty for both enrichment of research skill repertoires and development of long-term collaborative relationships. Training in the responsible conduct of research will be an integral part of the program. The program will directed by the Program Director and an Executive Committee consisting of 4 training faculty and the departmental chairman. These individuals will meet at quarterly intervals to assess program performance in achieving outlined objectives and for review of activities and progress of the individual trainees. Trainees will be sought from a national pool of eligible candidates. Although the primary focus of this project is on the training of select postdoctoral fellows, it is also believed that the Integrated Training in Anesthesiology Research program is the cornerstone and sets the standard for investigative training also offered to medical students, junior faculty, and international scholars who share the laboratory/clinical research environment.
