Surgery Summer Research Experience for Medical Students

 描述(由申请人提供)：威斯康星大学(UW)为医科学生提供的外科暑期研究体验在过去的九年里一直由NIH T35支持。自上一次竞争性续签以来，自2015年夏天以来，该项目将支持40名医学生参与外科NIDDK相关研究项目，其中包括7名来自代表性不足的种族和民族群体的个人。在Herbert Chen博士的坚强领导下，该项目为医学生提供8-12周的重点指导研究和培训经验，引导学生走上涉及学术研究的职业道路，次要目标是鼓励学生考虑从事学术手术。该项目培养了解成功的学术基础科学、翻译、临床或卫生服务研究所涉及的知识、能力、技能、专业态度和经验的发展。在此期间，学员正式同意满足培训计划要求，制定个人发展计划，参加既定的有效研究和职业发展课程，完成研究项目，在部门研讨会上展示他们的研究，撰写摘要并提交给一次地区会议和一次全国会议，在威斯康星大学医学生研究论坛和外科部门研究峰会上发表口头或海报演示，并完成对课程和计划的评估。每年都有8名医科学生从这项T35短期培训资助中被选中，该计划自启动以来已经建立了很高的声誉，吸引了聪明和有上进心的学生。该项目利用华盛顿大学外科系和华盛顿大学医学与公共卫生学院的广泛资源，提供全面的培训经验，包括补充教学会议，主题包括研究的设计和实施、科学知识的有效交流、科学写作、资助机会、职业发展和负责任的研究行为。威斯康星大学拥有强大的NIH资助的培训资助组合；然而，这项T35是唯一专门支持医科学生短期培训机会的计划。通过将医学生与成功的内科科学家合作，他们将成为研究的榜样，我们的目标是增加未来的内科科学家队伍。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Wisconsin (UW) Surgery Summer Research Experience for Medical Students has been supported by an NIH T35 for the past nine years. Following summer 2015, the program will have supported 40 medical students in surgical NIDDK-related research projects since its last competing renewal, including seven individuals from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups. Under the strong leadership of Dr. Herbert Chen, the program provides medical students with a focused, 8-12 week, mentored research and training experience that guide students towards a career pathway which involves academic research, with a secondary goal of encouraging students to consider a career in academic surgery. The program fosters the development of knowledge, competence, skills, professional attitudes, and experience required to understand what is involved in successful academic basic science, translational, clinical or health services research. During this experience, trainees formally agree to fulfill training program requirements, create an individual development plan, attend an established curriculum in effective research and career development, complete a research project, present their research at a departmental seminar, write and submit an abstract to one regional and one national meeting, present an oral or poster presentation at the University of Wisconsin Medical Student Research Forum and the Department of Surgery Research Summit, and complete assessments of the curriculum and the program. Each year eight medical students are selected for support from this T35 short-term training grant and the program has built a strong reputation and attracted bright and motivated students since its inception. The program utilizes the extensive resources of the UW Department of Surgery and the UW School of Medicine and Public Health to offer a comprehensive training experience that includes supplemental didactic conferences on topics including design and conduct of research, effective communication of scientific knowledge, scientific writing, funding opportunities, career development, and responsible conduct of research. The University of Wisconsin has a strong portfolio of NIH-funded training grants; however, this T35 represents the only program that specifically supports short-term training opportunities for medical students. By partnering medical students with successful physician scientists who will serve as research role models, we aim to increase the future pool of physician scientists.
