Biomedical Imaging for Clinician Scientists

描述（由申请人提供）：这是UCSF放射学和生物医学成像系生物医学成像结构化强化一年培训计划的第二次更新申请。该计划将向正在接受或已完成住院医师培训的放射科住院医师开放。该培训计划的主要长期目标是培养一批学术放射科医生，他们将成为生物医学成像领域的领导者，促进跨学科研究，从而帮助解决目前缺乏此类临床科学研究人员的问题。更具体地说，该计划将招募候选人，他们将由指定的临床放射科医生，基础科学家和临床医生团队指导。每个受训者将隶属于放射学和生物医学成像部门现有的部门和研究小组之一，并与来自部门实验室的研究人员和来自其他部门的临床医生在多学科研究项目中合作。加州大学旧金山分校的放射学和生物医学成像部门是理想的定位，以提供这样的培训计划，考虑到大型研究计划和部门内的研究人员的高比例。UCSF的跨学科合作历史悠久，放射学和生物医学成像系的临床和研究工作的深度和多样性为T32学员提供了最佳环境。T32学员将在新的生命科学使命湾和加州大学旧金山分校中国盆地校区，这为合作研究提供了独特的资源。这些新资源将进一步提高放射学和生物医学成像部门吸引研究人员的能力，并继续在UCSF开创性，尖端生物医学成像研究的悠久传统。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is the second renewal application of a structured intensive one-year training program in Biomedical Imaging based in the Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging at UCSF. The program will be open to Radiology residents who are in or have completed residency training. The primary long-term objective of this training program is to produce a cadre of Academic Radiologists who will become leaders in Biomedical Imaging, promote interdisciplinary research and thus help address the current lack of such clinical scientific investigators. More specifically, the program will recruit candidates who will e mentored by a designated team of clinical radiologists, basic scientists, and clinicians. Each trainee will be affiliated with one of the existing sections and research groups within the Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging, and collaborate with researchers from the departmental laboratories and clinicians from other departments in multidisciplinary research projects. UCSF's Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging is ideally positioned to provide such a training program, given the large research program and the high percentage of researchers within the Department. There is a long history of interdisciplinary collaboration at UCSF and the depth and diversity of the clinical and research work within the Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging provides an optimal environment for the T32 trainees. The T32 trainees will be based within the new Life Sciences Mission Bay and China Basin campuses of UCSF, which offer unique resources for collaborative research. These new resources will further increase the ability of the Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging to attract researchers and continue the long tradition of ground breaking, cutting edge Biomedical Imaging Research at UCSF.
