项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Gulf Coast Consortium Veterinary Training Program in Comparative Medicine (GCC), composed of 3 universities (The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, and Baylor College of Medicine), will offer a 3-year program to provide veterinarians with specialty training in the care and use of laboratory animals and research in a biomedical research environment. This program will fulfill a recognized need to establish a pipeline of veterinarians with such training due to the increased demands for this expertise. Over a 5-year grant period (with non-grant funding for the third year of each trainee), this program will train 3 participants who will be recruited from veterinary schools or clinical practice. The goals of the program are to train competent laboratory animal veterinarians, preparing them to become diplomates in the American College of Laboratory Animal Medicine (ACLAM), and to provide them collaborative research opportunities in animal model development and translational research. In Year 1, trainees will complete clinical rotations at the participating institutions. Year 2 will be devotedto a research project under a well-established research mentor. Year 3 will be composed of clinical care at the participant's parent institution (50% of time) and completing data collection and writing a manuscript for publication (50%). The GCC program's didactic curriculum will cover areas of clinical medicine, pathology, regulations, animal care management, facility design, budgetary issues, security, biostatistics, research methods, epidemiology, and responsible conduct of research, authorship, and ethics. A seminar series (including journal clubs, case presentations, and histopathology slide conferences), 2 semester-long graduate-level courses, and hands-on laboratory training have been integrated into the curriculum. Participants will gain experience with many different species. Participants may pursue an MPH degree. A Program Advisory Committee will provide quarterly reviews of the program and the progress of the trainees. A Research Advisory Committee will provide oversight of the research component. An External Advisory Committee reviews the entire program. The consortium was originally formed in 2007 with recognition through ACLAM as a 2-year program. Three trainees are currently enrolled in the 2-year program, which forms the basis for the proposed 3-year program; the Program Advisory Committee, didactic courses, evaluation plan, and seminar programs are already established. The major components added to this program are the 1 research-focused year, the Research Advisory Committee composed of externally funded research mentors committed to hosting the trainees, and the External Advisory Committee. The lead GCC faculty have been training veterinarians in comparative medicine for over 10 years. Of the 9 postdoctoral fellows who have completed our program, 1 is now a diplomate of ACLAM, 7 are still practicing in the field of laboratory animal medicine, 1 is board eligible this year, and 4 should be board eligible next year.

描述（由申请人提供）：墨西哥湾沿岸联盟比较医学兽医培训计划 (GCC)，由 3 所大学组成（德克萨斯大学 MD 安德森癌症中心、德克萨斯大学休斯敦健康科学中心和贝勒医学院）），将提供为期 3 年的计划，为兽医提供实验动物护理和使用以及生物医学研究环境中研究的专业培训。由于对这一专业知识的需求不断增加，该计划将满足建立接受此类培训的兽医管道的公认需求。在为期 5 年的资助期内（每个受训者的第三年均获得非资助），该计划将培训 3 名从兽医学校或临床实践中招募的参与者。该计划的目标是培训有能力的实验动物兽医，使他们成为美国实验动物医学学院（ACLAM）的文凭，并为他们提供动物模型开发和转化研究方面的合作研究机会。在第一年，学员将在参与机构完成临床轮转。第二年将在一位成熟的研究导师的指导下致力于一个研究项目。第三年将包括在参与者所在机构进行临床护理（50% 的时间）以及完成数据收集和撰写出版手稿（50%）。 GCC 项目的教学课程将涵盖临床医学、病理学、法规、动物护理管理、设施设计、预算问题、安全、生物统计学、研究方法、流行病学以及负责任的研究行为、作者身份和伦理学等领域。课程中纳入了一系列研讨会（包括期刊俱乐部、案例演示和组织病理学幻灯片会议）、两个学期的研究生课程和实验室实践培训。参与者将获得许多不同物种的经验。参与者可以攻读公共卫生硕士学位。项目咨询委员会将每季度对项目和学员的进度进行审查。研究咨询委员会将对研究部分进行监督。外部咨询委员会审查整个计划。该联盟最初成立于 2007 年，并获得 ACLAM 认可，计划为期 2 年。目前，三名学员正在参加为期 2 年的计划，这构成了拟议的 3 年计划的基础；项目咨询委员会、教学课程、评估计划和研讨会项目已经建立。该计划增加的主要组成部分是第一个以研究为重点的年度、由致力于接待学员的外部资助研究导师组成的研究咨询委员会以及外部咨询委员会。 GCC 的主要教师十多年来一直在比较医学方面培训兽医。在完成我们项目的 9 名博士后研究员中，1 名现在是 ACLAM 的文凭，7 名仍在实验动物医学领域执业，今年 1 名符合委员会资格，明年应有 4 名符合委员会资格。
