Surgical Scientist Training Grant in Health Services and Translational Research

 描述(由申请人提供)：此T32申请的目标是支持外科住院医师继续培训成为卫生服务和翻译研究领域的内科科学家。在我们资金充足的实验室，外科科学家的转化研究培训将集中在创伤、烧伤、伤口愈合和再生医学领域，同时将启动卫生服务研究领域的培训，以教育外科医生临床结果调查的关键学科，以促进循证医学。前者强调将科学发现从研究平台转化到患者的床边，而后者则侧重于确定治疗干预措施的有效性，以改善临床结果。培训补助金中的卫生服务研究部分的目的是让年轻外科医生将临床经验与项目开发和研究方法方面的培训结合起来。该课程旨在鼓励该项目的参与者成为未来的学术外科调查人员，他们将应用这一培训来寻找解决美国医疗体系带来的许多挑战的方案。培训补助金的翻译科学部分的目的是提供关于实验室研究项目设计和合理的假设驱动调查的研究方法的正式指导，以推动外科创新的边界。该计划将培养一支准备充分的外科科学家干部队伍，以方便他们过渡到学术界。未来 学术外科研究人员将受益于这两个重要领域的更多知识，因为他们将处于独特的地位，可以启动连接临床和基础实验的研究，同时也评估他们的治疗效果。我们过去的学员已经成功地在学术界开始了职业生涯，并利用我们的T-32赠款培训作为职业定义经验获得了博士学位。通过在我们的下一次培训拨款的迭代中，这个新的组织结构，这个新颖的计划特别适合于培训21世纪的学术外科医生。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of this T32 application is to support the continued training of surgical residents to become physician-scientists in Health Services and Translational Research. In our well-funded laboratories, the translational research training of surgical scientists will focus on the fields of trauma, burn, wound healing, and regenerative medicine while training will be initiated in the area of health services research in order to educate surgeons in the critical discipline of clinical outcomes investigation to promote evidenced-based medicine. The former emphasizes translating scientific discoveries from the research bench to the patient's bedside, whereas the latter centers on determining the efficacy of therapeutic interventions to improve clinical outcomes. The purpose of the health services research portion of the training grant is for young surgeons to integrate clinical experience with training in program development and research methods. The curriculum is designed to encourage the participants of the program to become future academic surgical investigators who will apply this training to find solutions to the many challenges posed by the U.S. healthcare system. The purpose of the translational scientific portion of the training grant is to provide formal instruction on laboratory research project design and sound research methods of hypothesis-driven investigation to push the boundaries of surgical innovation. The program will foster a cadre of well-prepared surgical scientists to ease their transition into academics. Future academic surgical investigators will benefit from greater knowledge in both important areas as they will be in the unique position to initiate research that bridges clinical and basic experimentation while also evaluating the effectiveness of their treatments. Our past trainees have successfully launched careers in academics and received PhDs using our T-32 grant training as a career defining experience. Through this newly structured organization in our next iteration of this training grant, this novel program is particularly well suited toward training th academic surgeons of the 21st century.
