Critical Care Training Program

描述(由申请人提供)：这份机构培训补助金的初始申请旨在为将从事与重症护理相关的职业的博士后学员提供研究培训。该培训计划将在新成立的埃默里危重护理中心和埃默里大学医学院的外科联合开展。它将是多学科的，来自外科、内科、儿科和生物化学系的教员将参加培训计划。培训计划为期两年，所有申请者必须拥有研究生水平的学位(医学博士或同等学历)。这一培训计划的理念是建立在临床医生和研究人员之间强有力的合作基础上的翻译科学。项目主任/首席研究员是埃默里大学外科学教授、埃默里重症监护中心副主任克雷格·库珀史密斯。PI/PD将与执行委员会密切合作，执行委员会成员包括医学博士Timothy Buchman(外科教授，Emory重症监护中心主任)、Thomas Ziegler医学博士(医学教授，亚特兰大临床和翻译科学学院研究教育、培训和职业发展核心研究项目主任)和Greg Martin医学博士(医学副教授，重症监护、肺部过敏和重症监护副科长)。该计划有来自多个部门的8名额外导师，他们在与重症监护相关的领域有着广泛的研究兴趣，从氧化应激到急性肺损伤，再到重症监护病房的实施科学。该计划旨在通过让学员获得具有基础科学、翻译和临床研究专业知识的导师，来模仿危重护理的广泛范围。有机会跨越危重疾病的整个年龄段--从新生儿到老年病。为了提供多样化的机会，导师设在亚特兰大地区的以下类型的医院--学术医院(埃默里大学医院)、社区医院(埃默里大学医院中城)、公立医院(格雷迪纪念医院)、联邦资助的(亚特兰大退伍军人事务医疗中心)和儿童医院(亚特兰大埃格尔斯顿儿童医院)。最终，研究培训计划旨在反映临床危重护理的协作和跨学科性质，并培养致力于改善重症监护病房患者结局的独立研究人员。 公共卫生相关性：随着人口老龄化，越来越多的患者在重症监护病房接受护理。然而，对重症监护服务的快速增长的需求与照顾危重病人所需的劳动力之间的差距越来越大，研究人员需要发现新的见解来改善重症监护病房的结果。这一机构培训赠款旨在通过为将从事与重症护理相关的职业的个人提供研究培训来弥合这一差距。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This initial submission for an institutional training grant is aimed at providing research training for postdoctoral trainees who will pursue careers related to critical care. The training program will be jointly based in the newly formed Emory Center for Critical Care and in the Department of Surgery at the Emory University School of Medicine. It will be multidisciplinary in nature, with faculty from the Departments of Surgery, Medicine, Pediatrics, and Biochemistry participating in the training program. The training program is two years of length, and all applicants must have a graduate level degree (MD, PhD or equivalent). The philosophy of this training program is translational science founded upon strong collaborations among clinicians and investigators. The program director/principal investigator is Craig Coopersmith, Professor of Surgery at Emory University and the Associate Director of the Emory Center for Critical Care. The PI/PD will interface closely with an executive committee made up of Timothy Buchman, PhD, MD (Professor of Surgery, Director Emory Center for Critical Care), Thomas Ziegler, MD (Professor of Medicine, Co-Program Director, Research Education, Training and Career Development Core, Atlanta Clinical and Translational Science Institute) and Greg Martin, MD (Associate Professor of Medicine, Associate Division Director for Critical Care, Pulmonary, Allergy and Critical Care). The program has 8 additional mentors from multiple departments, with widely varying research interests in domains related to critical care ranging from oxidative stress to acute lung injury to implementation science in the intensive care unit. The program has been designed to mimic the broad scope of critical care by giving trainees access to mentors with expertise in basic science, translational and clinical research. There are opportunities that span the entire age range of critical illness - from neonates to geriatrics. To provide a diverse set of opportunities, mentors are based at the following-types of hospitals in the Atlanta area - academic (Emory University Hospital), community (Emory University Hospital Midtown), public (Grady Memorial Hospital), federally-funded (Atlanta Veterans Affairs Medical Center), and children's (Children's Hospital of Atlanta at Egleston). Ultimately, the research training program is designed to reflect the collaborative and interdisciplinary nature of clinical critical care and to develop independent researchers dedicated to improving the outcomes of patients in the intensive care unit. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: As the population ages, more and more patients are cared for in intensive care units. However, there is a growing gap between the rapidly expanding need for critical care services and both the workforce needed to take care of critically ill patients and the researchers needed to discover new insights to improve outcomes in the intensive care unit. This institutional training grant is aimed at bridging this gap by providing research training for individuals who will pursue careers related to critical care.
