Project summary The University of Pennsylvania MD/PhD and VMD/PhD programs were established in 1958 and 1969, and united as a single medical scientist training program in 1977. The program currently enrolls 218 MD/PhD and 22 VMD/PhD students, 95% of whom are training grant eligible. Program guidance is provided by a committed team of faculty and staff that has been in place since 2014 and was recently joined by an experienced medical educator to assist in program evaluation. Our primary goal is to identify, train and mentor a diverse group of outstanding physician-scientists who will become leaders of biomedical research and translational medicine, as well as being successful clinicians, role models and mentors. To meet this goal, we have established flexible, evidence-based training plans that integrate research and clinical training in preparation for careers that use both. Penn's institutional commitment is reflected in a large annual investment that provides resources, enrichment activities, and support for program administration, as well as an institutional culture that values physician-scientists, supports diversity and inclusivity, promotes scientific rigor and a safe learning environment, and expects good mentorship. Admission is open to recent college graduates and current Penn MD, VMD and PhD students. Admission decisions are holistic, emphasizing research experience, creativity, and commitment to a physician-scientist career as well as academic excellence. The average time to degree is 8.1 years. There are 12 affiliated graduate programs: 7 in Biomedical Graduate Studies plus Engineering, Economics, Chemistry, History & Sociology of Science, and Anthropology, with protocols to add more when appropriate. The diverse training faculty includes 161 junior and senior scientists and physician-scientists including 3 NIH intramural investigators who hold adjunct faculty appointments at Penn. Policies are in place to acquire and maintain training faculty membership and to resolve conflicts. Each student's individualized curriculum emphasizes the integration of clinical and research training, responsible conduct of research, scientific rigor and reproducibility, and mentorship. It also includes MSTP-directed courses in Years 1 and 2, Clinical Connections during graduate school, Return to Research in the final year and, because our responsibilities do not end with graduation, the Hand Over Curriculum, which guides students in the selection of physician-scientist-friendly residencies and careers. 81% of recent graduates who have completed further training are employed by academic centers, research institutes, the biotech and pharmaceutical industries, the NIH, and federal agencies. Most have research funding from the NIH and other sources. Our objectives for the next 5 years include: 1) fostering the next generation of physician-scientists, 2) assisting trainees in exploring physician-scientist career options in addition to academia, 3) managing upward pressure on total training time, 4) improving mentorship skills for faculty and trainees, and 5) extending our successful efforts to increase diversity. These objectives are linked to an outcomes rubric that defines success and a logic model whose metrics will enable continuous improvement.

项目概要 宾夕法尼亚大学 MD/PhD 和 VMD/PhD 项目分别于 1958 年和 1969 年设立，并将 1977年作为单一医学科学家培训项目。该项目目前招收218名医学博士/博士和22名 VMD/PhD 学生，其中 95% 符合培训补助金资格。项目指导由忠诚的团队提供 自 2014 年起就职的教职员工，最近加入了一位经验丰富的医学教育者 协助计划评估。我们的主要目标是识别、培训和指导多元化的杰出人才 将成为生物医学研究和转化医学领导者的医师科学家，以及 成功的临床医生、榜样和导师。为了实现这一目标，我们建立了灵活的、基于证据的 整合研究和临床培训的培训计划，为同时使用这两种培训的职业做好准备。佩恩的 机构承诺体现在每年大量投资，提供资源、丰富活动、 和对项目管理的支持，以及重视医师科学家的机构文化， 支持多样性和包容性，促进科学严谨性和安全的学习环境，并期望良好的 指导。入学资格向应届大学毕业生和当前宾夕法尼亚大学医学博士、VMD 和博士生开放。 录取决定是全面的，强调研究经验、创造力和对医生科学家的承诺 职业生涯和学术成就。获得学位的平均时间为 8.1 年。下属有12家 研究生课程： 7 个生物医学研究生课程以及工程、经济学、化学、历史和 科学社会学和人类学，以及在适当时添加更多内容的协议。多样化的培训 教员包括 161 名初级和高级科学家以及医师科学家，其中包括 3 名 NIH 校内研究员 他们在宾夕法尼亚大学担任兼职教师。制定政策来获取和维持培训师资 成员资格并解决冲突。每个学生的个性化课程强调整合 临床和研究培训、负责任的研究行为、科学严谨性和可重复性，以及 指导。它还包括第一年和第二年的 MSTP 指导课程、研究生期间的临床连接 学校，在最后一年返回研究，因为我们的责任并不随着毕业而结束， 移交课程，指导学生选择适合医师-科学家的住院医师培训和 职业生涯。 81% 完成进一步培训的应届毕业生受聘于学术中心， 研究机构、生物技术和制药行业、NIH 和联邦机构。大部分都有 来自 NIH 和其他来源的研究经费。我们未来 5 年的目标包括： 1） 下一代医师科学家，2）协助学员探索医师科学家的职业选择 除学术界外，3）管理总培训时间的上升压力，4）提高指导技能 教师和实习生，以及 5) 扩大我们在增加多样性方面的成功努力。这些目标与 定义成功的结果标题和其指标将实现持续改进的逻辑模型。
