NIA Short Term Research Training: Students in Health Professional Schools

耶鲁大学医学院在培养医学生的职业生涯方面有着良好的成就记录， 学术医学和研究。耶鲁也是几个世界知名的，以老龄化为重点的研究中心的所在地。 因此，我们完全准备好解决整个世界在老龄化方面训练有素的医生科学家的严重短缺问题。 平移谱此重新提交申请是为了竞争性更新NIA支持医疗 学生（NIA短期培训：卫生专业学校的学生）。赠款的目的 申请是提供密集的短期培训研究为选定的博士前医学生， 耶鲁大学医学院杰出的以衰老为重点的实验室和培训场所， 耶鲁大学医学生在NIA感兴趣的领域的生物医学科学的研究经验。值得注意的是，由于 我们获得了我们的第一个NIA T35，耶鲁医学院的数量增加了50%以上， 学生进行以年龄为重点的研究。因此，我们已经达到了催化学生的目标， 在下一个供资期间，对这一领域的兴趣将继续保持这一势头，情况如下。 受训者将是完成至少一年医学院课程的医学生。十 每年的学生将被选为这个短期培训支持的基础上，一个正式的书面质量 计划的研究和导师的质量和培训环境的建议。该计划将 得到耶鲁大学老龄化项目的支持，并将为学生提供接受指导的机会。 研究培训从老龄化为重点的研究人员在我们的机构。参与部门和科将 包括麻醉学、比较医学、内科学（老年医学、心血管医学 内分泌学、普通医学、感染性疾病、肺病、风湿病学）、急诊医学， 神经病学，神经科学，矫形外科和康复，精神病学，公共卫生（卫生政策的章节， 社会与行为科学）和外科（血管科）。一个精心设计的导师计划， 辅以正式的教学计划，将确保学生接受严格的培训，在老龄化研究 这是适合他们的训练阶段。 通过为学生提供获得不同导师的机会， 实验室研究成果，卫生服务，社区参与的研究，在许多临床 学科，我们准备为医学生提供NIA相关领域的短期研究培训。的 拟议的培训计划可以激励和促进最终追求学术事业的老龄化， 支持研究和学术经验集中在老化的早期学生的培训，他们可能会 没有其他途径可以进入。

The Yale School of Medicine has a strong record of accomplishments in training medical students for careers in academic medicine and research. Yale is also home to several world-renowned, aging-focused research centers. We are therefore ideally poised to address the critical shortage of physician-scientists trained in aging across the translational spectrum. This resubmission application is for a competitive renewal of NIA support for medical students (NIA Short-Term Training: Students in Health Professional Schools). The purpose of the grant application is to provide intensive short-term training in research for selected pre-doctoral medical students in outstanding aging-focused laboratories and training sites at the Yale School of Medicine by providing qualified Yale medical students to research experiences in biomedical sciences in areas of interest to NIA. Notably, since we were awarded our first NIA T35, there has been more than a 50% increase in the number of Yale medical students conducting aging-focused research. Therefore, we have achieved our goal of catalyzing student interest in this area and in the next funding period will continue this momentum as follows. Trainees will be medical students who have completed at least one year of medical school curriculum. Ten students per year will be selected for this short-term training support based on the quality of a formal written proposal of the planned research and the quality of the mentor and the training environment. The Program will be supported by Yale’s Program on Aging and will provide students with the opportunity to receive mentored research training from aging-focused investigators at our institution. Participating departments and sections will include anesthesia, comparative medicine, internal medicine (sections of geriatrics, cardiovascular medicine, endocrinology, general medicine, infectious diseases, pulmonary, rheumatology), emergency medicine, neurology, neuroscience, orthopedics & rehabilitation, psychiatry, public health (sections of health policy, and social & behavioral sciences), and surgery (section of vascular). A carefully designed program of mentorship, supplemented by a formal didactic program, will ensure that students receive rigorous training in aging research that is appropriate for their stage of training. By providing students with access to a diverse pool of mentors with projects ranging from experimental and laboratory research to outcomes, health services, and community-engaged research across many clinical disciplines, we are well poised to offer medical students short term research training in NIA related domains. The proposed training program can inspire and facilitate the eventual pursuit of academic careers in aging by supporting research and scholarly experiences focused on aging early in students’ training to which they may not have otherwise had access.
