DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal requests support for fifty, third and fourth year medical students over a period of five years, competitively selected to participate in an elective eight week complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) research rotation at the University of North Texas Health Science Center, Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine. (UNTHSC/TCOM) The long term goal of this training is to encourage medical students to enter the CAM physician scientist, "pipeline" through short term intensive exposure to a mentored, hands on, hypothesis driven research project, research didactics and development of research presentation skills. Special recruiting efforts will be directed towards the brightest and most motivated students with emphasis on minority recruitment. The first component of the Complementary and Alternative Medicine Short Term Research Rotation (CAMSTRR) is sixty-four hours of general and CAM specific research methodology course work presented by research faculty. Course work is designed to provide students with fundamentals of responsible conduct of research, research protocol development, state of the art research techniques and critical data evaluation. The second CAMSTRR program component is a hands on, hypothesis driven research project with a funded faculty member who has previously mentored students and has the time and desire to serve as a research mentor. The hands on research experience is designed to expose medical students to contemporary research methods and challenges associated with CAM research. Students will also meet weekly with their peers in the program to discuss research progress. The third component of the CAMSTRR program involves scholarly activity through the development of a poster presentation to be made at the UNYHSC's Annual Research Appreciation Day. The increased use of CAM treatments with undocumented efficacies by the general public emphasizes the need for evidence based, hypothesis driven data on CAM modalities. The specific aims of this project are to identify talented medical students interested in conducting CAM research and provide them with short term hands on research training designed to increase the limited numbers of CAM trained investigators entering the physician scientist pipeline. UNTHSC/TCOM's 80% increase in research expenditures over the last four years provides a stable base of research support, facilities and research leadership for the proposed program.

描述（由申请人提供）：本提案要求在五年内为 50 名、三年级和四年级医学生提供支持，通过竞争性选拔参加北大学的选修八周补充和替代医学 (CAM) 研究轮转德克萨斯健康科学中心、德克萨斯整骨医学学院。 (UNTHSC/TCOM) 该培训的长期目标是鼓励医学生通过短期密集接触受指导、实践、假设驱动的研究项目、研究教学法和研究开发，进入 CAM 医师科学家“管道”演讲技巧。特别招生工作将针对最聪明和最积极的学生，重点是少数族裔招生。补充和替代医学短期研究轮转 (CAMSTRR) 的第一个组成部分是由研究人员讲授的 64 小时的一般和 CAM 特定研究方法课程作业。课程旨在为学生提供负责任的研究行为、研究方案制定、最先进的研究技术和关键数据评估的基础知识。 CAMSTRR 计划的第二个组成部分是一个实践性的、假设驱动的研究项目，由一名受资助的教职人员参与，该教职人员以前曾指导过学生，并且有时间和愿望担任研究导师。实践研究经验旨在让医学生接触与 CAM 研究相关的当代研究方法和挑战。学生还将每周与项目中的同学会面，讨论研究进展。 CAMSTRR 计划的第三个组成部分涉及学术活动，即通过在 UNYHSC 年度研究欣赏日上制作海报展示来开展学术活动。公众越来越多地使用 CAM 治疗，但其疗效尚未记录，这强调了对 CAM 模式基于证据、假设驱动的数据的需求。该项目的具体目标是识别有兴趣进行 CAM 研究的有才华的医学生，并为他们提供短期实践研究培训，旨在增加进入医师科学家渠道的有限数量的 CAM 训练有素的研究人员。 UNTHSC/TCOM 在过去四年中研究支出增加了 80%，为拟议项目提供了稳定的研究支持、设施和研究领导力基础。
