DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We propose a Medical Microbiology fellowship program that will provide training in the appropriate laboratory diagnosis, control, and approach to the treatment of infectious diseases. Graduates of the program will be qualified to expertly manage the diagnostic microbiology laboratory, consult with clinicians on the selection and interpretation of medical microbiology tests, establish and direct the infection control program for a healthcare organization, and lead the antibiotic formulary committee so as to optimize the wise use of antimicrobial agents and minimize the emergence of resistance toward these compounds. They will also be trained to design and conduct research projects leading to scientific advancement in the field. A primary motivating factor in seeking funding for this fellowship is recognition that communication between the microbiology laboratory and the clinician is essential to proper selection and interpretation of tests and results, and this program will be unique in its focus on the development of communication skills between clinician and microbiologist. It will be co-directed by both a M.D. and a Ph.D. trained Microbiologist, which will enhance the training program, as each brings a distinct perspective and background to the diagnosis and research of infectious diseases. Along those same concepts, we will offer one position to a M.D. candidate and one position to a Ph.D. candidate, for a total of two fellows per year who will interact and collaborate closely during their training. This program will be offered for a minimum of two years but no more than three years for each trainee. A minimum of one year will be devoted solely to research efforts on a major research project in clinical microbiology, beginning in the second year of training. The training will be centered at Evanston Northwestern Healthcare (ENH), a member of the McGaw Medical Center of Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, which has been named one of America's top 15 teaching hospitals for seven consecutive years. Our program will comply with both American Board of Pathology (ABP) and American Academy of Microbiology Committee on Postgraduate Educational Programs (CPEP) guidelines for accreditation. Fellows completing this program would be eligible for board certification by either the American Board Pathology (ABP - available for those with a M.D.) and/or the American Board of Medical Microbiology (ABMM - available for those with a M.D. or Ph.D.). PARTICIPATING FACULTY: The 35 training faculty include 16 professors, four associate professors, and seven assistant professors. Six of the training faculty are women. Twenty-nine of the faculty are at the University of Minnesota and five are with the Minnesota Department of Health. The primary areas of research include: viral pathogenesis, HIV/AIDS, invasive bacterial infections, antibiotic resistance, mucosal immunity, immunocompromised patients, international and immigrant health, bioterrorism and foodborne infections.

描述（由申请人提供）：我们提出了一项医学微生物学研究金计划，该计划将提供适当的实验室诊断、控制和传染病治疗方法方面的培训。该项目的毕业生将有资格熟练地管理诊断微生物学实验室，就医学微生物学测试的选择和解释向临床医生提供咨询，为医疗机构建立和指导感染控制计划，并领导抗生素处方委员会以优化明智地使用抗菌剂并尽量减少对这些化合物的耐药性的出现。他们还将接受培训，设计和开展研究项目，从而推动该领域的科学进步。为该奖学金寻求资金的一个主要推动因素是认识到微生物学实验室和临床医生之间的沟通对于正确选择和解释测试和结果至关重要，并且该计划的独特之处在于它注重临床医生之间沟通技巧的发展和微生物学家。它将由医学博士和博士共同指导。训练有素的微生物学家，这将加强培训计划，因为每个人都为传染病的诊断和研究带来独特的视角和背景。遵循同样的理念，我们将为医学博士候选人提供一个职位，为博士候选人提供一个职位。候选人，每年总共两名研究员，他们将在培训期间密切互动和合作。该计划将为每位学员提供至少两年但不超过三年的时间。从培训的第二年开始，至少一年的时间将专门用于临床微生物学重大研究项目的研究工作。培训中心将在伊利诺伊州埃文斯顿西北大学麦高医疗中心成员埃文斯顿西北医疗中心 (ENH) 进行，该中心连续七年被评为美国 15 佳教学医院之一。我们的计划将符合美国病理学委员会 (ABP) 和美国微生物学会研究生教育计划委员会 (CPEP) 的认证指南。完成该计划的研究员将有资格获得美国病理学委员会（ABP - 适用于拥有医学博士学位的人）和/或美国医学微生物学委员会（ABMM - 适用于拥有医学博士或博士学位的人）的委员会认证。 参与教师： 35名培训教师中，包括教授16名、副教授4名、助理教授7名。 六名培训教师是女性。其中 29 名教师来自明尼苏达大学，5 名来自明尼苏达卫生部。 主要研究领域包括：病毒发病机制、艾滋病毒/艾滋病、侵袭性细菌感染、抗生素耐药性、粘膜免疫、免疫功能低下患者、国际和移民健康、生物恐怖主义和食源性感染。
