Integrated Training in Anesthesiology Research

 描述(由申请人提供)：该项目的目标是为博士后研究员提供研究培训，使他们能够发展独立的调查职业生涯，致力于通过促进该领域的科学知识来改善对麻醉/危重患者的护理。杜克大学医学中心麻醉学系在发展多学科实验室和临床研究环境方面投入了大量资源，以提供最先进的研究培训经验。我们还在麻醉学住院医师培训方面进行了创新，以提供一个研究连续体，在T32注册之前提供一个高效的准备阶段。这份提案概述了愿意并准备实现我们的目标的杰出培训教师的资历。培训计划包括2-3年的连续培训，受训人员在项目教员的密切和直接监督下进行共同感兴趣的研究项目。重点是学习负责任的研究技能，实现文献的掌握，独立假设的产生，实验设计，数据分析，研究结果的陈述和竞争外部资金。我们鼓励学员利用与项目教员建立的关系，以丰富研究技能和发展长期合作关系。该方案由方案主任和由6名资深科学家和系主任组成的研究理事会领导。学员每季度向项目领导正式汇报，以评估学员在实现项目目标方面的表现和进展。从全国合格候选人库中寻找受训人员，重点是招聘代表性不足的少数族裔受训人员。该计划的主要重点是精选博士后研究员的研究培训。然而，该计划也是我们部门研究培训努力的基石，为参与研究培训过程的医学生、住院医生、初级教员和访问学者提供高标准的调查培训。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of this program is to provide postdoctoral fellows with research training enabling them to develop independent investigative careers devoted to improving care of the anesthetized/critically ill patient by advancing scientific knowledge in the field. The Department of Anesthesiology at Duke University Medical Center has intensively invested its resources in the development of multidisciplinary laboratory and clinical research environments to offer state-of-the-art research training experiences. We have also innovated in anesthesiology residency training to provide a research continuum that provides a highly effective preparatory phase prior to T32 enrollment. This proposal outlines the credentials of a distinguished training faculty who are willing and prepared to meet our goal. The training program involves a 2-3 year continuum when the trainees work under the close and direct supervision of a program faculty member on research projects of mutual interest. Emphasis is placed on learning responsible research skills, achieving mastery of the literature, independent hypothesis generation, experimental design, data analysis, presentation of research findings and competition for extramural funding. The trainees are encouraged to exploit relationships established with members of the program faculty for both enrichment of research skill repertoires and development of long-term collaborative relationships. The program is directed by the Program Director and a Research Council consisting of 6 senior scientists and the departmental chair. Trainees formally report to the program leadership at quarterly intervals to allow assessment of trainee performance and progress in achieving program goals. Trainees are sought from a national pool of eligible candidates with emphasis placed on recruitment of under-represented minority trainees. The primary focus of this program is the research training of select post-doctoral fellows. However, the program also is the cornerstone of our departmental research training endeavor setting high standards for investigative training offered to medical students, residents, junior faculty, and visiting scholars who participate in the research training process.
