Biomedical Imaging for Clinician Scientists

描述（由申请人提供）：这是UCSF放射学和生物医学成像系为期一年的生物医学成像结构化强化培训项目的第二次更新申请。该计划将向正在或已完成住院医师培训的放射科住院医师开放。该培训计划的主要长期目标是培养一批学术放射科医师骨干，他们将成为生物医学成像领域的领导者，促进跨学科研究，从而帮助解决目前缺乏临床科学研究者的问题。更具体地说，该项目将招募由临床放射科医生、基础科学家和临床医生组成的指定团队指导的候选人。每个实习生将隶属于放射学和生物医学成像系现有的一个科和研究小组，并与本系实验室的研究人员和其他系的临床医生合作进行多学科研究项目。加州大学旧金山分校的放射学和生物医学成像系是提供这样一个培训项目的理想场所，因为该系的研究项目很大，研究人员的比例也很高。UCSF有着悠久的跨学科合作历史，放射学和生物医学成像部门的临床和研究工作的深度和多样性为T32学员提供了最佳的环境。T32学员将在UCSF的新生命科学使命湾校区和中国盆地校区工作，这两个校区为合作研究提供了独特的资源。这些新资源将进一步提高放射学和生物医学成像系吸引研究人员的能力，并继续UCSF开创性的尖端生物医学成像研究的悠久传统。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is the second renewal application of a structured intensive one-year training program in Biomedical Imaging based in the Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging at UCSF. The program will be open to Radiology residents who are in or have completed residency training. The primary long-term objective of this training program is to produce a cadre of Academic Radiologists who will become leaders in Biomedical Imaging, promote interdisciplinary research and thus help address the current lack of such clinical scientific investigators. More specifically, the program will recruit candidates who will e mentored by a designated team of clinical radiologists, basic scientists, and clinicians. Each trainee will be affiliated with one of the existing sections and research groups within the Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging, and collaborate with researchers from the departmental laboratories and clinicians from other departments in multidisciplinary research projects. UCSF's Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging is ideally positioned to provide such a training program, given the large research program and the high percentage of researchers within the Department. There is a long history of interdisciplinary collaboration at UCSF and the depth and diversity of the clinical and research work within the Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging provides an optimal environment for the T32 trainees. The T32 trainees will be based within the new Life Sciences Mission Bay and China Basin campuses of UCSF, which offer unique resources for collaborative research. These new resources will further increase the ability of the Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging to attract researchers and continue the long tradition of ground breaking, cutting edge Biomedical Imaging Research at UCSF.
