Clinical Pharmacology Training Program

描述（由申请人提供）：人们普遍认为，在人体中进行实践研究的训练有素的医生科学家越来越短缺，特别是在临床药理学领域。约翰霍普金斯大学的临床药理学培训项目就是专门为解决这个问题而设计的。该计划以临床药理学部门为中心，该部门是医学系和药理学与分子科学系的联合单位。这个场地是进行将基本分子发现和技术转化为临床试验的研究的理想场所。该培训计划需要大约四年的时间才能完成，包括临床药理学的核心课程（课程加研究轮换）以及临床研究研究生培训计划的预科。论文项目一般包括分子以及动手临床组成部分。为了与该部门教师的集体专业知识保持一致，研究重点放在抗感染药物的某些方面。每个学员都有一个主要导师谁是论文导师，谁监督研究项目的临床方面，在适当的时候由共同导师补充。参与教师不仅包括那些在司，但也精心挑选的一组共同导师，以反映正在进行或可预见的研究合作和重要的教学协会。虽然没有临床责任，在这个程序中，研究员可以完成并行的亚专业奖学金，通常在传染病。该计划有一个由杰出的临床科学家和杰出的临床药理学教育工作者从约翰霍普金斯内外组成的咨询委员会的定期建议和监督。从这个全面，严格和培育计划的毕业生是在临床药理学董事会资格，并有技能和知识，直接进入一个独立的职业生涯在基础和临床药理学的接口。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The growing shortage of well-trained physician scientists who conduct hands-on studies in humans, particularly in the area of clinical pharmacology, is widely acknowledged. The Clinical Pharmacology Training Program at Johns Hopkins is designed specifically to address this problem. The program is centered in the Division of Clinical Pharmacology, which is jointly a unit within the Department of Medicine and the Department of Pharmacology and Molecular Sciences, in the School of Medicine. This venue is ideal for conducting research that translates basic molecular discoveries and techniques into clinical trials. The training program takes about four years to complete and includes a core curriculum in clinical pharmacology (coursework plus research rotations) as well as matriculation in the Graduate Training Program in Clinical Investigation. Thesis projects generally include a molecular as well as a hands-on clinical component. In keeping with the collective expertise of the Division faculty, research focuses on some aspect of anti-infective drugs. Each trainee has a Primary Mentor who is the thesis supervisor and who oversees the clinical aspects of the research project, complemented when appropriate by a Co-mentor. Participating faculty include not only those in the Division but also a group of Co-Mentors carefully chosen to reflect ongoing or foreseeable research collaborations and important teaching associations. Although there are no clinical responsibilities in this program, fellows may complete a concurrent subspecialty fellowship, typically in Infectious Diseases. The program has the regular advice and oversight of an Advisory Board comprised of distinguished clinician-scientists and outstanding clinical pharmacology educators from within and outside of Johns Hopkins. Graduates from this comprehensive, rigorous, and nurturing program are board-eligible in Clinical Pharmacology and have the skills and knowledge to step directly into an independent career at the interface of basic and clinical pharmacology.
