DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW) Medical Student Training in Aging and Injury Research is a 12 week summer research training program to introduce ten medical students per year to injury control research during the summer between their first and second years. The experience focuses on the impact and outcomes of injury through the lifespan, especially improving safety, health and quality of life for older individuals. Based in MCW's CDC-funded Injury Research Center, the program builds on a highly successful existing summer research program and strong collaborations with Internal Medicine's Geriatrics and Gerontology Division, the Health Policy Institute, the Crash Injury Research and Engineering Network Center and affiliated faculty from across the institution. The program's goal is to increase the pool of students who will pursue careers in injury control research, with an emphasis on the impact of injury through the life stages. Specific objectives are to: 1) provide early exposure to injury research at a critical time in medical students' career decision-making; 2) increase medical student knowledge regarding current investigative frontiers in injury prevention, treatment and policy; 3) have students apply a geriatrics approach in their research, therapy and injury control efforts, emphasizing the special risks, needs and circumstances of the elderly; and 4) to retain medical students' interest in research, injury control and aging beyond the short-term experience, by providing on-going support and strengthening their connection to the scientific community and future research pursuits throughout the medical school training. Trainees will be matched with experienced research faculty and research teams to work on injury projects relevant to aging and the aged, such as falls prevention, older drivers, elder abuse and patient safety. They will participate in enrichment activities including: 1) seminars offered to all summer research students, including training in ethical conduct in research, career development and presentation skills; 2) weekly core seminars on injury and injury prevention, with attention to the special needs and considerations of the elderly, including Falls in the Elderly, Wound Healing, Quality of Life after Trauma; 4) presentation of their work at an Annual Medical Student Research Poster Day; and 5) opportunities for continued research through on-going mentorship and an optional Research Honors track. Injury prevention is a major Healthy People 2010 goal, and the MCW IRC is committed to a public health model to reduce the burden of injury. Injury and violence are a serious threat to the health and well-being of Americans ages 65 and older, a rapidly growing segment of the population. It is critical to examine the risks and mechanisms of injury and response to trauma and trauma care from a life-stages perspective, and to look at the unique needs of the elderly in trauma prevention, acute treatment and rehabilitation.

描述（由申请人提供）：威斯康星州医学院（MCW）衰老和伤害研究的医学生培训是一项为期12周的夏季研究培训计划年。经验的重点是整个生命周期的影响和结果，尤其是改善年龄较大个人的安全，健康和生活质量。该计划位于MCW的CDC资助的伤害研究中心，建立在一项非常成功的现有夏季研究计划的基础上，并与内科医学的老年医学和老年医学部，卫生政策研究所，坠机伤害研究与工程网络中心以及来自各地的隶属教师进行了强有力的合作。机构。该计划的目标是增加将在伤害控制研究中从事职业的学生库，重点是通过生活阶段受伤的影响。具体目标是：1）在医学生职业决策中的关键时刻提供早期暴露于伤害研究； 2）提高医学生关于预防伤害，治疗和政策中当前调查前沿的知识； 3）让学生在研究，治疗和伤害控制工作中采用老年医学方法，强调老年人的特殊风险，需求和情况； 4）通过提供持续的支持并加强与科学界和未来的研究追求的联系，以保持医学生对研究，伤害控制和衰老的兴趣，以超越短期经验。学员将与经验丰富的研究教师和研究团队相匹配，以从事与衰老和老年人有关的伤害项目，例如预防瀑布，老年司机，虐待老人和患者安全。他们将参加丰富的活动，包括：1）向所有夏季研究学生提供的研讨会，包括在研究，职业发展和演示技巧方面的道德行为培训； 2）每周有关伤害和预防伤害的核心研讨会，注意老年人的特殊需求和考虑因素，包括老年人的跌倒，伤口康复，创伤后的生活质量； 4）在年度医学生研究海报日的工作； 5）通过持续的指导和可选研究荣誉曲目进行持续研究的机会。预防伤害是2010年健康人的主要目标，MCW IRC致力于一种公共卫生模式，以减轻伤害负担。受伤和暴力是对65岁及65岁以上美国人的健康和福祉的严重威胁，这是人口的迅速增长。从生命阶段的角度检查伤害和对创伤和创伤护理的反应的风险和机制至关重要，并查看老年人在预防创伤，急性治疗和康复方面的独特需求。
