DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is an underdiagnosed manifestation of systemic atherosclerosis and is associated with significant clinical mortality and complications such as stroke, lower extremity amputation, and death, it is critical to gain new understandings of the disease process from different clinical perspectives to design and implement new treatment strategies and means of disease prevention. Vascular surgeons are at the interface between patient care and fundamental and translational research. Translational research is a multidimensional process in which there is a dynamic communication between the clinician and the basic scientist. At Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, we have the ideal environment to train the next generation of vascular clinician-scientist. The primary goal of this training grant is to increase the number of clinician-scientists interested in vascular disease. This two-year program will be the foundation for these trainees to gain the requisite research experience to later apply for K08/K23 mentored funding. This is a mentored research training experience for residents in general surgery and vascular surgery within a seamless multidisciplinary research environment. The key to this mentored research training program is the development of the individualized training plan by the mentor and trainee. The mentor and the trainee will decide on a research training program, perform a needs assessment, and set specific goals and objectives. Then specific instructional methods and materials will be developed by the mentor. The trainee will then work alongside the mentor in the lab or office, depending upon the trainee's area of interest. Trainees may select one of several tracks or a combination of tracks that meets their ultimate research objectives and interests, including (1) vascular biology with a basic science emphasis, (2) clinical research including outcome studies, (3) biomedical devices in partnership with the Department of Biomedical Engineering, or (4) an integrated program designed by the trainee and his/her mentors. The strength of this program lies in its breadth and flexibility. Our goal is to match the research interest of the trainee to mentors, coursework, seminars, meetings, and a research plan that will collectively provide the experience necessary to launch a successful career as a physician scientist.

描述（由申请人提供）： 外围动脉疾病（PAD）是全身性动脉粥样硬化的表现不足，与临床死亡率和并发症（如中风，下肢截肢和死亡）有关，从不同的临床角度获得对疾病过程的新理解以设计和实施新的治疗策略和疾病预防手段，这一点至关重要。血管外科医生处于患者护理与基础研究与转化研究之间的接口。翻译研究是一个多维过程，其中临床医生与基础科学家之间存在动态交流。在西北大学Feinberg医学院，我们拥有培训下一代血管临床医生 - 科学家的理想环境。这项培训补助金的主要目标是增加对血管疾病感兴趣的临床医生的数量。这项为期两年的计划将是这些受训者获得必要的研究经验的基础，以便稍后申请K08/K23的指导资金。这是为普通手术和无缝多学科研究环境中的居民和血管外科手术的指导研究培训经验。该指导研究培训计划的关键是导师和学员的个性化培训计划的制定。导师和学员将决定研究培训计划，执行需求评估并设定特定的目标。然后，指导者将开发特定的教学方法和材料。然后，学员将根据实习生感兴趣的领域与实验室或办公室的导师一起工作。学员可以选择符合其最终研究目标和兴趣的几种曲目之一或组合，包括（1）具有基础科学重点的血管生物学，（2）临床研究，包括结果研究，（3）与生物医学工程部合作的生物医学设备，或与生物医学工程部合作，或（4）由受训者和他的/她的综合计划设计的。该程序的优势在于其广度和灵活性。我们的目标是将学员的研究兴趣与导师，课程，研讨会，会议以及研究计划相匹配，该计划将共同提供作为医生科学家成功职业所必需的经验。
