Alpert Medical School Summer Research Program

描述（由申请人提供）： 阿尔珀特医学院夏季研究计划（AMSSRP）在分子病理学和健康服务/心肺疾病的结果研究建议支持夏季研究培训。主要目标是为医学生提供生物医学研究的经验，并鼓励他们从事医生科学家的职业。第二个目标是为学生提供一个单一的研究导师和重点，将通过他们的医学院培训的全部跟随他们。AMSSRP的大背景是一个独特的学术集中（SC）计划，鼓励学生发展他们在医学院四年中追求的学术兴趣。寻求支持6名学生花10个星期的夏天后，医学院的第一年在布朗大学的研究实验室工作的监督下教员培训。来自不同学科和部门的26名具有丰富培训经验的布朗研究人员将为学生提供加入他们的实验室进行夏季研究的机会。七名初级教员也将担任培训员。这些人将与资深教师配对，为指导学生提供指导。教师也将作为学生的浓度导师。学生将在他们的第一个医学院学年的冬天制定一个研究提案和初步浓度提案。AMSSRP执行委员会将评估提案，并根据科学价值和学生的潜力和对研究事业的承诺进行奖励。除了指导的研究经验，学生将参加每周研讨会的核心研究课题，包括研究的道德行为。教师培训人员将参加这些研讨会，既描述他们的研究，并讨论自己的职业发展。在夏季经历后的秋季，学生将在医学院范围内的学生研究研讨会上展示他们的研究。AMSSRP将为我们的学生提供研究经验，作为SC计划的一部分，将有助于促进他们作为医生科学家的发展，重点是心肺疾病。(End摘要）

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Alpert Medical School Summer Research Program (AMSSRP) in Molecular Pathobiology and Health Services/Outcomes research in cardiopulmonary diseases proposes to support summer research training. The primary objectives are to provide medical students with experience in biomedical research and to encourage them to embark on careers as physician scientists. A secondary objective is to provide students with a single research mentor and focus that will follow them through the entirety of their medical school training. The larger context for the AMSSRP is a unique Scholarly Concentrations (SC) program that encourages students to develop a scholarly interest that they pursue during all four years of medical school. Support is sought for 6 students to spend 10 weeks in the summer following the first year of medical school working in a research laboratory at Brown under the supervision of a faculty trainer. Twenty-six Brown researchers with extensive training experience from a variety of disciplines and departments will offer students the opportunity to join their laboratories for summer research. Seven junior faculty members will also serve as trainers. These individuals will be paired with senior faculty to provide guidance in mentoring students. Faculty will also serve as the student's Concentration mentors. Students will develop a research proposal and preliminary Concentration proposal during the winter of their first medical school year. The AMSSRP Executive Committee will evaluate the proposals and make awards based on scientific merit and the student's potential for and commitment to a research career. In addition to the mentored research experience, students will participate in weekly seminars on core research subjects, including the ethical conduct of research. Faculty trainers will participate in these seminars, both describing their research and discussing their own career development. During the fall after their summer experience, students will present their research at a medical school-wide student research symposium. The AMSSRP will provide our students with research experience that, as a component of the SC program, will serve to promote their development as physician-scientists with a focus on cardiopulmonary diseases.
