Molecular Medicine Training Program

描述（由申请人提供）：华盛顿大学分子医学培训项目（MMTP）培养博士。通过将医学培训的要素纳入博士研究，学生可以在基础科学和医学的界面上工作。MMTP建立在鼓励跨学科科学和转化研究的机构文化之上，以创建一个教育计划，成功地将强大的基础科学培训与医学和医学问题解决的连贯介绍相结合。我们的目标是培养一批新的科学家，他们能够识别人类健康和疾病中的重要问题，并运用尖端的实验策略来解决这些问题，为此，MMTP培训培养了双重技能，因为我们的学生在掌握医学科学的概念和语言的同时，还接受了基础科学的严格培训。培训的特点是以案例为基础的课程，临床参与，博士和双导师。由基础科学家和临床科学家的研究，并强调学生的研究项目的医学意义的顶点介绍。MMTP对在UW医学院基础科学系或跨学科项目攻读博士学位的学生开放。分子医学研究生证书在博士学位授予时颁发，以表彰MMTP学员完成的补充课程和培训。MMTP已经启动了分子医学的新课程;在华盛顿大学和西雅图研究界建立了强大的计划身份;并通过有针对性的推广活动促进分子医学领域。完成这个高度跨学科的培训课程的学生拥有智力工具和临床环境中的经验，为医学中的重大问题创造新的，富有想象力的和全面的解决方案，因此他们准备成为分子医学和转化研究的新一代领导者。 公共卫生相关性：叙述华盛顿大学分子医学培训计划（MMTP）培养博士。通过将医学培训的要素纳入博士研究，学生可以在基础科学和医学的界面上工作。这为他们提供了识别和解决医学科学中重要问题的能力，并将改善人类疾病的诊断和治疗。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Washington Molecular Medicine Training Program (MMTP) educates Ph.D. students to work at the interface of basic science and medicine, by incorporating elements of medical training into PhD studies. The MMTP builds upon an institutional culture that encourages interdisciplinary science and translational research to create an educational program that successfully combines strong basic science training with a coherent introduction to medicine and medical problem-solving. The goal is to train a new cadre of scientists able to identify important questions in human health and disease and apply cutting-edge experimental strategies to solving these questions, and to this end MMTP training nurtures a dual skill set, as our students receive rigorous training in basic science while mastering the concepts and language of medical science. Training is distinguished by case-based courses, clinical involvement, and dual mentorship of Ph.D. research by a basic scientist and clinician scientist, and a capstone presentation emphasizing medical implications of a student's research project. The MMTP is open to students working toward PhD degrees in basic science departmental or interdisciplinary programs at UW Medical School. A Molecular Medicine Graduate Certificate is awarded at the time of the PhD to recognize the supplementary coursework and training fulfilled by MMTP trainees. The MMTP has launched new courses in Molecular Medicine; established a strong programmatic identity within the University of Washington and the Seattle research communities; and promoted the field of molecular medicine by targeted outreach activities. Students completing this highly interdisciplinary training program have the intellectual tools and the experience in clinical environments to create new, imaginative, and comprehensive solutions to major issues in medicine, and they are thus prepared to become the new generation of leaders in molecular medicine and translational research. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Narrative The University of Washington Molecular Medicine Training Program (MMTP) educates Ph.D. students to work at the interface of basic science and medicine, by incorporating elements of medical training into PhD studies. This provides them with the ability to identify and solve important problems in medical science, and will lead to improved diagnosis and treatment of human diseases.
