Career Development Core

职业发展核心（CDC）摘要 CDC是环境毒理学卓越中心（CEET）的一个组成部分。大学 宾夕法尼亚大学没有公共卫生学院或环境卫生科学系 （EHS）。因此，CDC是CEET内负责在宾夕法尼亚州建立EHS培训的实体， 以前就存在。上一个资助期的一项主要成就是在2004年开设了一个证书课程， EHS，获得机构培训补助金的资金（T32-EHS转化研究培训计划）， 建立跨学科的环境科学与环境卫生培训项目 科学，以支持新的超级基金研究计划，并引入EHS培训到第四年 医学院的学生职业发展核心的使命是为以下人员提供职业培训： 在最广泛的背景下，下一代环境健康科学家， 青年研究员的职业生涯，使他们能够成为独立的科学家，并吸引 新的调查员进入学科。CDC由Rebecca Simmons医学博士和乔治Gerton博士共同领导 他们分别在培训临床医生和基础科学家方面经验丰富。疾控中心注意到， 临床科学家很少被EHS吸引。该核心的具体目标是：（一）建立一个独立的 研究生组在环境健康安全，使博士学位可以提供的纪律;（ii）引进环境健康安全培训 在整个四年的医学院课程;（iii）保持一个年轻的研究者数据库 （高级博士后研究员，研究助理和新的助理教授），以监测他们的职业道路）; (iv)使用指导委员会提供职业发展;（v）确定年轻调查员申请 CEET指导科学家过渡奖，使他们能够获得独立性;以及（vi）提供培训， EHS的临床科学家。

Career Development Core (CDC) Abstract The CDC is an integral part of the Center of Excellence in Environmental Toxicology (CEET). The University of Pennsylvania does not have a School of Public Health or a Department of Environmental Health Sciences (EHS). Thus, the CDC is the entity within CEET charged with establishing EHS Training at Penn where none existed before. A major accomplishment in the last funding period was to inaugurate a Certificate Program in EHS, obtain funding for an institutional training grant (T32-Translational Research Training Program in EHS), the establishment of trans-disciplinary training program in environmental science and environmental health sciences to support a newly Superfund Research Program, and introduction of EHS training to fourth year medical students. The mission of the Career Development Core (CDC) is to provide career training for the next generation of environmental health scientists within the broadest context, to develop the career of rising Young Investigators so that they can become independent scientists, and to attract new investigators into the discipline. The CDC is co-led by Rebecca Simmons MD and George Gerton PhD who are experienced in training both clinicians and basic scientists, respectively. The CDC is mindful that clinician scientists are rarely attracted into EHS. The specific aims of this core are to: (i) develop a stand-alone graduate group in EHS so that a PhD degree can be offered in the discipline; (ii) introduce EHS training throughout the four-years of the medical school curriculum; (iii) maintain a Young Investigator data-base (senior postdoctoral fellows, Research Associates, and new Assistant Professors) to monitor their career path); (iv) use a mentoring committee to provide career development; (v) identify Young Investigators to a apply for a CEET Mentored Scientist Transition Award so that they can gain independence; and (vi) provide training for clinician scientists in EHS.
