DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The MD/PhD Program at the University of Maryland (UM) was established in 1982 and over the years has produced a cohort of successful physician scientists. The mission of the UM program is to provide outstanding aspiring medical scientists with superior scientific and medical training so that they will have productive careers in biomedical research and clinical medicine. The focused goals of the MD/PhD Program are: (1) to recruit students with strong scientific backgrounds and a commitment to clinical care; (2) to provide a rigorous, yet flexible, program that includes training in independent research and clinical practice; (3) to provide guidance so that students formulate long-term career plans and acquire the scientific and clinical credentials necessary for competitive postgraduate training. The training plan builds on the curricula of the medical and graduate schools and includes a range of activities and courses that facilitate the integration of the basic and clinical sciences. These MD/PhD-specific activities include: (1) Graduate program orientations; (2) Molecules to Medicine journal club; (3) Physician Scientist Seminars; (4) Longitudinal Clinical Rotation during graduate school; (5) Physician Scientist Research Elective in Medical School; (6) MD/PhD Program Retreat; (7) MD/PhD endowed lecture. Thus our program ensures the MD/PhD students are not merely MD students with PhD training. Over the past seven years the UM MD/PhD Program has made major strides that improve its quality including: (1) a 400% increase in institutional support; (2) a 40% increase in depth of applicant pool; (3) increase in underrepresented minority population to 24% of program; (4) reduction in clinical requirements to enhance flexibility. At the same time the graduate programs have been completely reorganized and the school of medicine has seen remarkable growth in the biomedical research enterprise. The success of these improvements is manifest in the quality of matriculating students, the productivity of our researchers, and the impressive list of residency positions of our seniors. Thus graduates of this program are superbly prepared to capitalize on the opportunities and meet the challenges in the investigation of human diseases.

描述（由申请人提供）：马里兰州大学（UM）的MD/PHD计划成立于1982年，多年来，已经建立了一系列成功的医师科学家。 UM计划的任务是为出色的有抱负的医学科学家提供卓越的科学和医学培训，以便他们在生物医学研究和临床医学方面具有生产力。 MD/PhD计划的重点目标是：（1）招募具有强大科学背景和临床护理承诺的学生； （2）提供一个严格但灵活的计划，包括独立研究和临床实践的培训； （3）提供指导，以便学生制定长期职业计划，并获得竞争性研究生培训所需的科学和临床证书。该培训计划以医学和研究生院的课程为基础，其中包括一系列活动和课程，以促进基础科学和临床科学的整合。这些MD/PHD特定的活动包括：（1）研究生方向； （2）分子到医学杂志俱乐部； （3）医师科学家研讨会； （4）研究生院期间的纵向临床旋转； （5）医学院的医师科学家研究； （6）MD/PHD计划撤退； （7）MD/PHD赋予演讲。因此，我们的计划确保了医学博士/博士学位学生不仅是接受博士学位培训的MD学生。在过去的七年中，UM MD/PhD计划取得了重大进步，以提高其质量，包括：（1）机构支持增长了400％； （2）申请人池深度增加40％； （3）将代表性不足的少数族裔人口增加到计划的24％； （4）减少临床要求以提高灵活性。同时，研究生课程已完全重组，医学院在生物医学研究企业中的增长显着增长。这些改进的成功体现在入学学生的质量，研究人员的生产力以及我们老年人居住地位的令人印象深刻的清单中。因此，该计划的毕业生已准备好利用机会并应对调查人类疾病的挑战。
