DESCRIPTION (Provided by applicant): As part of the continuing response of the University of Pennsylvania Medical Center to a two-year study by a Working Group appointed by the CEO-Dean, The Office of the Senior Dean for Program Development, The Steering Committee on Complimentary Alternative Medicine, and The Center for Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics (CCEB) propose to build on existing strengths at the University of Pennsylvania to develop an innovative and rigorous two-to-three-year training program for clinical investigators in Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM). The mission of the CAM Training Program will be to prepare clinicians who have completed their clinical training for successful careers as independent clinical investigators capable of using the range of approaches available in epidemiology and biostatistics to address research issues related to evaluation of complementary therapies and treatment with alternative medicine. The general design for the training program is to supplement formal training in research with mentoring by paired mentors: one in the practice of CAM and the other expert in outcomes research. The two-to-three-year training program will consist of: 1) a core curriculum of required courses in clinical epidemiology, research methodology, and biostatistics; 2) elective courses in CAM; 3) extensive independent readings; 4) attendance and participation in research seminars at the CCEB and conferences on CAM; and 5) the completion of an independent research project in CAM. The program is designed to: 1) provide an in depth knowledge of the research techniques appropriate to clinical epidemiology research; 2) provide opportunities for study of topics related to CAM; 3) provide research experience with mentors in clinical epidemiology research and practitioners of complementary medicine; and 4) bring together faculty and fellows through participation in seminar series in the CCEB and conferences and workshops in CAM. Trainees will be candidates for a MS degree in Clinical Epidemiology. Contrary to a MPH degree, this program is similar to a PhD in its rigor.

描述（由申请人提供）：作为宾夕法尼亚大学医学中心持续回应的一部分互补和替代医学（CAM）临床研究人员的两到三年培训计划。 CAM培训计划的任务是准备完成成功职业临床培训的临床医生，作为独立的临床研究人员，能够使用流行病学和生物统计学中可用的方法来解决与评估互补疗法和替代医学治疗相关的研究问题。培训计划的一般设计是通过配对导师的指导来补充研究的正式培训：一个在CAM实践中，另一个是结果研究专家。两到三年的培训计划将包括：1）临床流行病学，研究方法论和生物统计学中所需课程的核心课程； 2）CAM的选修课程； 3）广泛的独立阅读； 4）参加和参加CCEB和CAM会议的研究研讨会； 5）在CAM中完成一个独立研究项目。该计划旨在：1）深入了解适合临床流行病学研究的研究技术； 2）提供了研究与CAM相关的主题的机会； 3）为临床流行病学研究和补充医学从业者提供研究经验； 4）通过参加CCEB的研讨会系列以及CAM中的会议和讲习班来召集教师和研究员。学员将成为临床流行病学的MS学位的候选人。与MPH程度相反，该计划与严格的博士学位相似。
