Training Program in Adult and Pediatric Rheumatology

描述(由申请者提供)：T32支持的免疫学和风湿病学博士后将接受为期两年的临床免疫学或临床研究的翻译研究培训。申请T32支持的申请者将是医学博士、博士或医学博士/博士学位持有人。博士后奖学金的候选人将由一个由两个风湿病学部的代表组成的博士后委员会进行审查和挑选。不在T32资助范围内的MDS风湿学博士后临床研究年数将主要包括到门诊诊所就诊以及住院咨询。临床培训结束后，学员将从两个研究路径中选择一个进行T32培训：(I)临床免疫学转化研究轨道(轨道1)；或(Ii)临床研究(轨道2)。第一轨道的培训将提供给那些有兴趣从事临床免疫学转化性研究的研究员，并将补充必要和推荐的课程作业。在第二轨道的两年培训计划可以导致通过卫生研究和政策部门管理的科学硕士学位。我们相信，这样的正式培训对从事临床研究的学员来说很重要，为临床试验设计、生物伦理学、数据分析和临床研究中其他重要问题的基础奠定了基础。对于这两个方面的所有受训人员，每周都需要参加风湿病的讲座，以及一系列关于负责任的研究行为的讲座。预计博士后学员将参加每周免疫学大轮回、杂志俱乐部会议、每周免疫学研讨会系列以及在所有年的培训期间举行的年度T32和免疫学务虚会。这将在风湿学研究员和斯坦福大学参与研究工作的许多其他免疫学研究员和学生之间提供互动。在T32资助的年份，MD博士后研究员将每周参加一到两个半天的诊所，以及由他们的个别导师决定的定期研究会议。我们将利用斯坦福丰富的环境，为对免疫学、蛋白质组学、基因组学、临床试验和结果感兴趣的学员提供更多机会。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): T32-supported Immunology and Rheumatology Postdoctoral Fellows will undertake two years of training in either translational research in clinical immunology or in clinical investigation. Applicants for T32 support will be M.D., Ph.D. or M.D./Ph.D. degree holders. Candidates for postdoctoral fellowships will be reviewed and selected by a Postdoctoral Committee composed of representatives of the two Rheumatology Divisions. The clinical years of postdoctoral fellowship in rheumatology for MDs, not covered by T32 funding will predominantly consist of attendance at outpatient clinics, as well as inpatient consulting. Following clinical training, trainees will select one of two Research Tracks for their T32 training: (i.) The Clinical Immunology Translational Research Track (Track 1); or (ii.) The Clinical Investigation (Track 2). The training in Track 1 will be available for those fellows interested in pursuing translational research in clinical immunology and will be supplemented with required and recommended coursework. A two-year training program in Track 2 can lead to a Master's of Science Degree, administered through the Department of Health Research and Policy. It is our belief that such formal training is important for trainees who pursue a career in clinical research, to provide a foundation in the fundamentals of clinical trial design, bioethics, data analysis, and other important issues in clinical research. For all trainees in both Tracks, attendance will be required at weekly lectures in rheumatic diseases, as well as a series of lectures on Responsible Conduct of Research. Postdoctoral trainees are expected to attend weekly Immunology Grand Rounds, Journal Club meetings, the weekly Immunology Seminar Series, and the Annual T32 and Immunology Retreats during all years of training. This will provide interactions between the rheumatology fellows and the many other immunology fellows and students involved in research endeavors at Stanford. In the T32-supported years, MD postdoctoral fellows will attend clinic one or two half-days per week, as well as regular research meetings determined by their individual preceptors. We will leverage Stanford's rich environment to provide many additional opportunities for trainees interested in immunology, proteomics, genomics, clinical trials, and outcomes.
