Career Development Core

职业发展核心(CDC)摘要 疾控中心是环境毒理学英才中心(CEET)的一个组成部分。这所大学 宾夕法尼亚州没有公共卫生学院或环境卫生科学系 (EHS)。因此，疾控中心是CEET中负责在宾夕法尼亚大学建立EHS培训的实体，而宾夕法尼亚大学没有 以前就存在过。上一个资助期的一项主要成就是在 EHS，获得机构培训补助金(T32-EHS翻译研究培训计划)， 建立环境科学与环境健康跨学科培养计划 科学支持新的超级基金研究计划，并将EHS培训引入四年 医科学生。职业发展核心(CDC)的使命是为以下人员提供职业培训 下一代环境健康科学家在最广泛的背景下，开发 崭露头角的年轻调查人员的职业生涯，以便他们能够成为独立的科学家，并吸引 对该学科进行新的调查。疾病预防控制中心由丽贝卡·西蒙斯医学博士和乔治·格顿博士共同领导 他们分别在培训临床医生和基础科学家方面经验丰富。疾控中心注意到 临床科学家很少被EHS所吸引。这一核心的具体目标是：(I)开发独立的 EHS研究生小组，以便在该学科提供博士学位；(Ii)引入EHS培训 在医学院的四年课程中；(3)维持青年调查员数据库 (高级博士后研究员、研究助理和新助理教授)，以监测他们的职业道路)； (4)利用指导委员会提供职业发展；。(5)确定青年调查员申请 CEET指导科学家过渡奖，使他们能够获得独立；和(Vi)为 EHS的临床科学家。

Career Development Core (CDC) Abstract The CDC is an integral part of the Center of Excellence in Environmental Toxicology (CEET). The University of Pennsylvania does not have a School of Public Health or a Department of Environmental Health Sciences (EHS). Thus, the CDC is the entity within CEET charged with establishing EHS Training at Penn where none existed before. A major accomplishment in the last funding period was to inaugurate a Certificate Program in EHS, obtain funding for an institutional training grant (T32-Translational Research Training Program in EHS), the establishment of trans-disciplinary training program in environmental science and environmental health sciences to support a newly Superfund Research Program, and introduction of EHS training to fourth year medical students. The mission of the Career Development Core (CDC) is to provide career training for the next generation of environmental health scientists within the broadest context, to develop the career of rising Young Investigators so that they can become independent scientists, and to attract new investigators into the discipline. The CDC is co-led by Rebecca Simmons MD and George Gerton PhD who are experienced in training both clinicians and basic scientists, respectively. The CDC is mindful that clinician scientists are rarely attracted into EHS. The specific aims of this core are to: (i) develop a stand-alone graduate group in EHS so that a PhD degree can be offered in the discipline; (ii) introduce EHS training throughout the four-years of the medical school curriculum; (iii) maintain a Young Investigator data-base (senior postdoctoral fellows, Research Associates, and new Assistant Professors) to monitor their career path); (iv) use a mentoring committee to provide career development; (v) identify Young Investigators to a apply for a CEET Mentored Scientist Transition Award so that they can gain independence; and (vi) provide training for clinician scientists in EHS.
