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）：该提案要求在五年内为五十岁，三年级和四年级的医学生提供支持，竞争性地选择参加北德克萨斯大学健康科学中心，德克萨斯州骨病医学学院的八周互补和替代医学（CAM）研究旋转。 （UNTHSC/TCOM）这项培训的长期目标是鼓励医学生，通过短期强化接触指导，动手，假设驱动的研究项目，研究教义和发展研究演示技巧的“管道”，“管道”。特别招聘工作将针对最聪明，最有动力的学生，重点是少数族裔招募。互补和替代医学短期研究旋转（CAMSTRR）的第一个组成部分是研究学院提出的一般和CAM特定研究方法的一般和CAM特定研究方法学课程的工作。课程工作旨在为学生提供负责任的研究，研究协议开发，最先进的研究技术和关键数据评估的基础。第二个CAMSTRR计划的组成部分是一项假设驱动的研究项目，该项目与一位曾经指导过学生的资助教职员工，并且有时间和渴望担任研究导师。研究经验的动手旨在使医学生将与CAM研究相关的当代研究方法和挑战。学生还将每周与该计划的同龄人开会，讨论研究进度。 CAMSTRR计划的第三个组成部分涉及通过在UNYHSC的年度研究欣赏日进行的海报演示来发展的学术活动。公众对无证件效力的CAM治疗的使用增加强调了基于证据的，假设驱动的CAM模式数据的需求。该项目的具体目的是确定有兴趣进行CAM研究的才华横溢的医学生，并为他们提供了研究培训的短期研究，旨在增加参与医师科学家管道的CAM培训的研究人员数量有限。在过去的四年中，UNTHSC/TCOM在研究支出中增加了80％，为拟议计划提供了稳定的研究支持，设施和研究领导力的基础。
