Short-term Research Training for Veterinary Students in Wisconsin

项目摘要 该计划的目的是为兽医学生提供为期12周的指导研究经验， 威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校传统的兽医课程缺乏正规的表演训练 因此，今年夏天的研究暴露体验是暴露DVM的重要途径 学生在一级研究机构的研究过程中，并鼓励他们考虑 研究型职业。该计划已成为我们招募潜在兽医的能力不可或缺的 有研究兴趣的医学生到我们的DVM专业计划在威斯康星州的大学- 麦迪逊。这也是我们成功增加少数民族兽医学生人数的根本 追求研究培训，告知兽医学生的职业研究，并暴露 兽医专业的学生参加与研究伦理、负责任的研究行为有关的重要讨论， 在研究成功的职业生涯所需的技能和工具。该计划的首要目标是 介绍兽医学生进行研究。他们获得了如何识别 对动物和/或人类的健康和福利具有重要意义的问题，学习如何提出假设 测试重点问题，制定计划，以确定和验证适当的技术，以追求，分析和 报告数据。学生参加研讨会，以促进优秀的科学交流，在口头和 书面格式。学员参加定期安排的实验室会议和每周一次的研讨会， 特别是在12周的夏季时间轴内实现这些目标。受训人员将介绍 他们在夏季兽医研究学者研讨会上的研究（通常是NIH-勃林格殷格翰 兽医学者计划研讨会每年8月举行）或在研讨会或研讨会举行的研讨会， 威斯康星州大学兽医学院。一般来说，威斯康星州大学和学校 特别是兽医学，为支持短期研究培训提供了理想的环境， 兽医系学生该计划旨在与其他研究生研究培训相结合 兽医学院内的计划，为兽医学生提供持续的支持 他们被激励去追求高级研究训练。

Project Summary The purpose of this program is to provide a 12-week mentored research experience for veterinary students at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The traditional veterinary curriculum lacks formal training in performance of research: therefore, this summer research exposure experience is an essential way to expose DVM students to the research process within a tier-one research institution and encourage them to consider research-oriented careers. This program has been integral to our ability to recruit prospective veterinary medical students with research interests to our DVM professional program at the University of Wisconsin- Madison. It has also been fundamental to our success in increasing the number of minority veterinary students pursuing research training, informing veterinary medical students of careers in research, and exposing veterinary students to important discussions related to research ethics, responsible conduct of research, and the skills and tools required for successful careers in research. The over-arching objective of this program is to introduce veterinary medical students to research. They gain a working knowledge of how to identify a problem of significance to the health and welfare of animals and/or humans, learn how to develop a hypothesis to test focused questions, build a plan to identify and validate appropriate techniques to pursue, analyze and report data. The students undergo workshops to promote excellent science communication in both oral and written formats. Trainees participate in regularly scheduled laboratory meetings and weekly seminars designed specifically for these goals within the 12-week summer timeline. Trainees are expected to present the results of their research at the summer veterinary research scholars symposium (typically the NIH-Boehringer Ingelheim Veterinary Scholars Program Symposium held annually in August) or at seminars or symposiums held at the University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary Medicine. The University of Wisconsin in general, and the School of Veterinary Medicine in particular, provides an ideal environment to support short-term research training for veterinary students. The proposed program is designed to integrate with additional graduate research training programs within the School of Veterinary Medicine to provide a continuum of support for veterinary students that are inspired to pursue advanced research training.
