Research Training in Pediatric Emergency Medicine

简介（由申请人提供）：儿科急诊医学研究培训计划（PEMRTP）成立于2001年，为医学博士和博士生物医学研究人员提供独特的多学科培训，以获得开展急性疾病和损伤调查所需的技能，这些技能构成了儿科急诊医学亚专科的临床基础。美国28%的急症治疗是从急诊科开始的。在美国，每年有1900万儿童到急诊科就诊超过2900万次。对于父母来说，最重要的研究议程莫过于让他们的重病和受伤的孩子得到最好的循证护理，以及最有效的诊断和治疗。美国国立卫生研究院认识到急诊医学研究的重要性，最近在国家综合医学科学研究所（NIGMS）内指定了一个跨NIH急诊护理研究办公室（OECR），以促进急诊环境的基础、转化和临床研究和培训。国家儿童健康和人类发展研究所所长是经合组织指导委员会的四名成员之一。这次T32竞争更新利用了波士顿儿童医院的资产，其中包括世界上最大的儿科急诊医学教师，并利用核心优势创造了严格的研究和研究培训文化，以：(1)培养个体学员作为独立研究人员；(2)填补美国和其他地区下一代儿科急诊医学培训生对早期和中期职业研究导师的迫切需求。学员在三个相互关联的阶段中向独立发展：(1)一个受指导的研究项目；(2)正式课程作业；(3)准备研究经费。学员完成硕士或公共卫生硕士学位。他们在自己选择的实验室接受指导。最后，在教师导师的指导下，他们准备K-99/R00或类似的指导研究资助申请，以促进他们过渡到

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Pediatric Emergency Medicine Research Training Program (PEMRTP), established in 2001, offers unique multi-disciplinary training for MD and PhD biomedical researchers to acquire the skills necessary to conduct investigations of the acute illnesses and injuries that form the clinical basis for the subspecialty of pediatric emergency medicine. Twenty-eight percent of acute care in the US begins in the emergency department. Nineteen million children make more than 29 million visits to emergency departments in the United States each year. A parent can think of no more important research agenda than that their acutely ill and injured child receive the best, evidence-based care with the most effective diagnostics and treatments possible. The NIH recognizes the importance of emergency medicine research and has recently designated a trans-NIH Office of Emergency Care Research (OECR) within the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) to foster basic, translational, and clinical research and training for the emergency setting. The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) Director is one of four members of the OECR Steering Committee. This T32 competing renewal leverages the assets of Boston Children's Hospital, which includes the largest pediatric emergency medicine faculty in the world, and draws on core strengths to create a culture of rigorous research and research training to: (1) prepare individual trainees as independent researchers; and (2) fill the critical need for early and mid-career research mentors for the next generation of pediatric emergency medicine trainees here and elsewhere. Trainees develop toward independence in three interrelated phases: (1) a mentored research project; (2) formal course work; and (3) preparation of a research grant. Trainees complete either an MMSc or MPH degree. They are mentored in their laboratory of choice. And finally, with guidance from a faculty mentor, they prepare a K-99/R00 or similar mentored research grant application to facilitate their transition to independent faculty. Boston Children's Hospital and Harvard Medical School, by the breadth and depth of their research laboratories, operational, real-world clinical systems, formal academic programs, experienced faculty, and linkages to multisite research networks, provide an unparalleled environment for mentoring trainees to become future leaders. PEMRTP specifically builds on the international reputation of Boston Children's Hospital in biomedical informatics and genomics, and seeks to train our fellows to use the tools from these fields to exploit the pediatric emergency department as a laboratory for clinical and population research.
