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）： 威斯康星医学院 (MCW) 衰老和损伤研究医学生培训是一个为期 12 周的夏季研究培训计划，每年在第一和第二个暑假期间向 10 名医学生介绍损伤控制研究年。该体验重点关注伤害在整个生命周期中的影响和结果，特别是改善老年人的安全、健康和生活质量。该项目以 MCW 的 CDC 资助的伤害研究中心为基础，建立在非常成功的现有夏季研究项目以及与内科老年病学和老年学部门、卫生政策研究所、碰撞伤害研究和工程网络中心以及来自各地的附属教员的密切合作基础上。该机构。该计划的目标是增加从事伤害控制研究职业的学生人数，重点是伤害在整个生命阶段的影响。具体目标是： 1）在医学生职业决策的关键时刻尽早接触伤害研究； 2) 增加医学生对当前伤害预防、治疗和政策研究前沿的了解； 3) 让学生在研究、治疗和伤害控制工作中应用老年学方法，强调老年人的特殊风险、需求和情况； 4) 通过在整个医学院培训过程中提供持续支持并加强他们与科学界和未来研究追求的联系，保持医学生对短期经验之外的研究、伤害控制和衰老的兴趣。学员将与经验丰富的研究人员和研究团队相匹配，从事与老龄化和老年人相关的伤害项目，例如跌倒预防、老年司机、虐待老年人和患者安全。他们将参加丰富的活动，包括：1）为所有暑期研究生提供的研讨会，包括研究道德行为、职业发展和演讲技巧的培训； 2）每周举办关于伤害和伤害预防的核心研讨会，关注老年人的特殊需求和考虑，包括老年人跌倒、伤口愈合、创伤后生活质量； 4) 在年度医学生研究海报日展示他们的工作； 5）通过持续的指导和可选的研究荣誉课程继续研究的机会。伤害预防是“健康人民 2010”的一项主要目标，MCW IRC 致力于建立公共健康模式以减轻伤害负担。伤害和暴力对 65 岁及以上美国人的健康和福祉构成严重威胁，这一群体的人口数量正在迅速增长。从生命阶段的角度审视损伤的风险和机制、对创伤的反应和创伤护理，并了解老年人在创伤预防、急性治疗和康复方面的独特需求至关重要。
