项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Johns Hopkins Summer Translational Oncology Program (STOP) is a 7 week fellowship for US medical students who have completed their first year of medical school. The STOP is designed to attract promising medical students at an early career stage, during which they are typically undecided about specific career plans, to the field of oncology. The strategy of this proposed program is to actively engage highly motivated students at an early point in their training by exposing them to the different facets of clinical practice, laboratory research and community outreach. The goal is to instill a lasting sense of excitement about oncology, and to encourage these students to consider postgraduate training in an oncological specialty. This proposal is designed to specifically fund trainees from medical schools that are not currently affiliated with an NCI-designated comprehensive cancer center. This program will provide a structured research experience in the oncology laboratories of the Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins, to be supplemented by daily didactic presentations on the molecular basis of cancer, the major areas of modern cancer research, challenges in clinical oncology, and approaches to alleviating cancer health disparities. Half-day rotations on the medical oncology, surgical oncology, pediatric oncology and radiation oncology services are designed to expose fellows to outpatient and inpatient clinical practice. Students will learn about community outreach by shadowing physicians in a clinic for uninsured patients in East Baltimore. A journal club and an end of program symposium provide students with opportunities to formally present published studies and their own research findings. The two Specific Aims of this proposed educational program are to 1) provide rising second year medical students with research, clinical and outreach experiences and didactic instruction that will increase their interest in careers in oncology, and 2) to track the early, intermediate and later career stages of STOP graduates to determine the effectiveness of this educational approach

描述（由申请人提供）：约翰霍普金斯大学夏季转化肿瘤学项目 (STOP) 是一项为期 7 周的奖学金，面向已完成医学院第一年学业的美国医学生。 STOP 旨在吸引处于职业早期阶段的有前途的医学生进入肿瘤学领域，在此期间他们通常尚未决定具体的职业计划。该计划的策略是让积极主动的学生在培训的早期阶段积极参与，让他们接触临床实践、实验室研究和社区外展的不同方面。目标是灌输对肿瘤学的持久兴奋感，并鼓励这些学生考虑接受肿瘤学专业的研究生培训。该提案旨在专门资助目前不隶属于 NCI 指定综合癌症中心的医学院学员。该计划将在约翰·霍普金斯大学西德尼·金梅尔综合癌症中心的肿瘤学实验室提供结构化的研究经验，并辅以关于癌症分子基础、现代癌症研究的主要领域、临床肿瘤学挑战、以及缩小癌症健康差异的方法。为期半天的肿瘤内科、肿瘤外科、儿科肿瘤学和放射肿瘤学服务轮换旨在让研究员接触门诊和住院临床实践。学生将通过在东巴尔的摩的一家诊所为没有保险的患者跟踪医生来了解社区外展服务。期刊俱乐部和课程结束研讨会为学生提供了正式展示已发表的研究和他们自己的研究成果的机会。该拟议教育计划的两个具体目标是 1) 为即将入学的二年级医学生提供研究、临床和外展经验以及教学指导，以增加他们对肿瘤学职业的兴趣，以及 2) 跟踪早期、中期和后期STOP 毕业生的职业阶段以确定这种教育方法的有效性
