Enhanced Training and Mentorship of Hematologic Oncologists

项目摘要 恶性血液病是一个主要的健康问题。美国大约有120万人口 患有白血病、淋巴瘤或骨髓瘤的州，这些恶性肿瘤占所有新发癌症的10% 2016.1年中的诊断幸运的是，该领域在最近几年经历了强劲和有希望的进展。 然而，许多恶性血液病患者继续有不可接受的结果，8-10和 要提高它们的存活率，还有很多工作要做。此外，患者报告的结果和成本效益 正在成为与患者相关的关键问题。 为了进一步推进血液系统恶性肿瘤领域，改善患者预后， 美国血液学会(ASH)在14年前创建了临床研究培训研究所(CRTI)，以 培训初级研究人员进行以患者为中心的研究，并为他们提供网络和 在这些事业上取得成功的导师。 CRTI是一个为期一年的项目，每年向20名研究员(申请者在申请时 并在CRTI计划期间参加与血液学相关的奖学金培训)和初级教员 (申请人在过去三年内完成奖学金培训)到基金会、方法论、 以患者为中心的临床研究应用。每位院士均接受(1)广泛的临床教育 研究方法；(2)与癌症研究领域的领导者一对一接触；(3)机会 初级研究人员组成同行网络；以及(4)来自成功临床研究人员的正式指导。这个 学院由为期一周的夏季研讨会组成，其中包括互动教学演示、小组 讨论，负责任地进行研究的培训，以及数小时的一对一和临时 小组讨论。暑期工作坊(8月)之后是12月班和期末班 (五月份)，在此期间，全班聚集在一起，讨论他们的进步和障碍。每个受训人员都确定了 CRTI导师，他或她在整个项目年度与其一起工作，以确保事业和研究 进步。在这笔拨款下，我们打算扩展培训课程，加入创新教学。 策略，引入与当前优先事项一致的新会议，如患者参与度和精确度 医学，通过在线资源加强计划的传播，并通过网络增加联系- 基于方法。

Project Summary Hematologic malignancies are a major health problem. There are approximately 1.2 million people in the United States living with leukemia, lymphoma, or myeloma, and these malignancies accounted for 10% of all new cancer diagnoses in 2016.1 Fortunately, the field of has experienced robust and promising advances in recent years. However, many patients with hematological malignancies continue to have unacceptable outcomes,8-10 and much work remains to improve their survival. Furthermore, patient-reported outcomes and cost-effectiveness are becoming key issues that are relevant to patients. In an effort to further advance the field of hematological malignancy and to improve patient outcomes, the American Society of Hematology (ASH) created the Clinical Research Training Institute (CRTI) 14 years ago to train junior researchers in the conduct of patient-oriented research and provide them the networks and mentorship to succeed in these careers. CRTI is a year-long program that annually exposes 20 fellows (applicants who at the time of their application and for the duration of the CRTI program are in hematology-related fellowship training) and junior faculty (applicants have completed their fellowship training within the past three years) to foundation, methodologies, and application of patient-oriented clinical research. Each fellow receives (1) extensive education in clinical research methods; (2) one-on-one exposure to leaders in the field of cancer research; (3) the opportunity for junior investigators to form peer networks; and (4) formal mentorship from successful clinical researchers. The Institute consists of a week-long Summer Workshop that includes interactive didactic presentations, small group discussions, training in the responsible conduct of research, and numerous hours of one-on-one and ad hoc group discussions. The Summer Workshop (in August) is followed by the December Class and the Final Class (in May) during which the entire class convenes to discuss their progress and obstacles. Each trainee identifies a CRTI mentor with whom he or she works during the entire program year to ensure career and research progress. Under this grant, we intend to expand the training curriculum to incorporate innovative teaching strategies, introduce new sessions consistent with current priorities such as patient engagement and precision medicine, enhance dissemination of the program through on-line resources, and increase connections via web- based approaches.
