Medical Scientist Training Program at Tufts University

塔夫茨医学博士项目的使命是促进多样化和有才华的受训者发展成为 成功、富有弹性和创新的医生-科学家领导者，他们将推动解决现有的、新兴的、 以及未来关键的医疗保健挑战。使用最好的循证教学实践，我们的目标是 为了促进进行和领导严谨和可重复的研究的知识和技能， 在临床医学方面取得卓越成就，并发展能力以促进 识别、适应和持续努力以满足不断变化的未得到满足的医疗保健需求所需的恢复能力 社会。这种做法的理由是，全国约24%的MSTP学员从事私人执业， 妇女和代表性不足的少数群体在培训上花费的时间往往更长，获得的赠款资金更少， 强调需要采取培训方法，以优化培训成果并继续参与 研究。为了提高学员的成就率，并推动他们成为学术医学的领导者，我们提供 学员使用新的和不断发展的工具来识别和应对现代社会的复杂应激源 学术医学。这些课程包括：健康和韧性以及医生领导力方面的新课程； 增强的循证导师培训；新的计算生物学课程；以及临床和翻译 为那些希望专注于以患者为中心的研究的人提供培训选择。我们将继续提供高度的 综合培训方法，内置灵活性，以适应双学位学生。我们提供一家诊所 参加研究生培训前的助理职位，以及研究生期间的简写家庭医学助理职位 允许学生与临床医学保持紧密联系的学校，提供重新进入的灵活性 完成博士学位后的医学培训。医学培训与5个生物医学研究生项目的对接 细胞、分子和发育生物学、遗传学、免疫学、分子微生物学、神经科学和 临床与转化科学的新研究生课程。我们的综合课程还包括 基础研究课程、年度静修、以职业为导向的晚餐计划等的临床意义 技能建设讲习班，如韧性和医生领导力。这些措施包括为 从研究生院过渡到临床医学培训，为NIH申请提供指导，一名女医生- 科学家小组，并举办了一个研讨会，重点是选择以研究为重点的住院医生。最后，为了加强 生物医学思想的多样性，塔夫茨MSTP将利用TUSM和GSBS的新倡议 增强多样性、公平性、包容性和归属感，增加URG学员数量，促进 一个包容和欢迎的社区。通过对MSTP的强有力的机构承诺，我们有 我们通过第二个门户计划扩大了招生范围，该计划面向已在医学院注册的学员，并 目标规模为每年五名入职实习生。我们的MSTP已经毕业了109名实习生，其中38名 目前已注册。我们在此申请申请10个职位的资金。

The mission of the Tufts MD-PhD program is to foster the development of diverse and talented trainees into successful, resilient, and innovative physician-scientist leaders who will drive solutions to existing, emergent, and future critical health care challenges. Using the best evidence-based teaching practices, our objectives are to promote knowledge and skills for conducting and leading rigorous and reproducible research, the achievement of excellence in clinical medicine, and the development of competencies that promote the resilience needed to identify, adapt, and sustain efforts to meet evolving unmet healthcare needs in our society. The rationale for this approach is that ~24% of MSTP trainees nationwide pursue private practice, and that women and underrepresented minorities tend to spend longer in training and obtain less grant funding, highlighting the need for training approaches that optimize training outcomes and continued participation in research. To enhance trainee success and propel them to leadership in academic medicine, we provide trainees with new and evolving tools for recognizing and coping with the complex stressors of modern academic medicine. These include novel curricula in: Wellness and Resilience and Physician Leadership; enhanced, evidence-based mentor training; new computational biology courses; and a clinical and translational training option for those who wish to focus on patient-oriented research. We continue to provide a highly integrated approach to training with flexibility built in to accommodate dual degree students. We offer a clinical clerkship prior to entry into graduate training, and an abbreviated Family Medicine clerkship during graduate school which allows students to stay firmly connected to clinical medicine providing flexibility in re-entry to medical training when the PhD is complete. Medical training interfaces with 5 biomedical graduate programs in Cell, Molecular, & Developmental Biology, Genetics, Immunology, Molecular Microbiology, Neuroscience, and a new graduate program in Clinical and Translational Science. Our integrated curriculum also includes a Clinical Implications of Basic Research course, an annual retreat, a career-oriented dinner program, and other skill-building workshops such as Resilience and Physician Leadership. These include preparation for the transition from graduate school to clinical medical training, mentoring for NIH applications, a women physician- scientist group, and a workshop focused on choosing research-focused residencies. Finally, to enhance the diversity of thought in biomedicine, the Tufts MSTP will leverage new initiatives at TUSM and GSBS that enhance Diversity, Equity, Inclusiveness and Belonging, increase our number of URG trainees, and promote an inclusive and welcoming community. With a strong institutional commitment to the MSTP, we have expanded our enrollment through a Second Portal program for trainees already enrolled in medical school and have a target size of five entering trainees each year. Our MSTP has graduated 109 trainees, and 38 are currently enrolled. We request funding for 10 positions in this application.
