DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application seeks funding for a one and a half day mentoring symposium entitled "How to Combine Clinical and Research Careers in Neuroscience (CCRCN)". The program is sponsored by the Association of University Professors of Neurology (AUPN) (www.aupn.org), together with the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), the American Neurological Association (ANA) and the Child Neurology Society (CNS). The AUPN is the professional organization for Chairs of Neurology Departments, or Divisions, in accredited medical schools in the United States. Its goal is "excellence in the care of patients with neurological disease by providing superior education to neurology trainees and by expanding knowledge about neurologic diseases." Two other professional organizations, the American Neurological Association (ANA) and The Child Neurology Society (CNS), share AUPN's and NINDS' concerns regarding the decline in the number of clinician-scientists, and have joined AUPN and NINDS financially supporting the CCRCN. The CCRCN symposium was first offered in 2003 by the AUPN and NINDS to meet the urgent need for more clinician-scientists, specifically in neurology. In 2005, JAMA reported that less than 2% of all physicians are scientists and, despite increases in research activity and funding, this number continues to drop. When this program began in 2003, the trend showed two decades of increasing biomedical research funding but an alarming 22% decrease in the clinician-scientist workforce; studies showed that more than a third of medical school graduates with MD/PhD do not realize their original goal of becoming active clinician-scientists. The specific aims for this symposium are to: 1) encourage medical students with neuroscience research training to pursue clinical training (with special emphasis on neurology); 2) describe and discuss strategies for successfully melding clinical and research careers; 3) discuss the satisfactions and power of a combined research and clinical career; 4) describe and discuss sources of, and strategies for, obtaining long term training and research support; and 5) provide an opportunity for students to meet and network with academicians who have successfully combined clinical and research careers in neuroscience. Medical students who may be candidates for combined research and clinical careers in the neurosciences are invited to apply to attend this meeting. The ideal candidate will have completed preclinical training and at least one additional year of neuroscience research training. Further consideration is given to students who have completed some required clinical clerkships, as this is the time when many students will be thinking about further clinical training. This symposium is highly relevant to the mission of NINDS, which is to reduce the burden of neurological disease. This laudable goal is directly supported by the CCRCN which strives to increase the number of well-trained clinician-scientists working to find treatments, and even cures, for neurological diseases.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请为一个半天的指导研讨会寻求资金，标题为“如何结合神经科学的临床和研究职业（CCRCN）”。该计划由大学神经病学教授协会（AUPN）（www.aupn.org）与国家神经系统疾病与中风研究所（NINDS），美国神经学协会（ANA）和儿童神经学会（CNS）一起赞助。 AUPN是在美国认可的医学院中神经病学部门或部门主席的专业组织。它的目标是“通过为神经病学受训者提供优越的教育以及扩大对神经系统疾病的知识，在护理神经系统疾病患者方面的卓越表现。”其他两个专业组织，分别是美国神经系统协会（ANA）和儿童神经病学会（CNS），分享了Aupn和Ninds对临床医生数量下降的担忧，并加入了AUPN和NINDS，并在财务上支持CCRCN。 CCRCN研讨会于2003年由AUPN和NINDS于2003年首次提供，以满足对更多临床医生，特别是神经病学的迫切需求。 JAMA在2005年报告说，所有医生中只有不到2％是科学家，尽管研究活动和资金的增加，但这一数字仍在下降。当该计划于2003年开始时，这种趋势表明，增加了生物医学研究资金的二十年，但临床医生科学家劳动力的惊人幅度下降了22％。研究表明，拥有MD/PhD的医学院毕业生中有超过三分之一没有意识到他们成为活跃的临床医生的最初目标。 该研讨会的具体目的是：1）鼓励接受神经科学研究培训的医学生进行临床培训（特别强调神经病学）； 2）描述和讨论成功融合临床和研究职业的策略； 3）讨论合并研究和临床职业的满足和力量； 4）描述和讨论获得长期培训和研究支持的来源和策略； 5）为学生提供了与成功合并神经科学临床和研究职业的院士见面和建立联系的机会。 邀请可能是神经科学研究和临床职业的候选人的医学生申请参加这次会议。理想的候选人将完成临床前培训和至少一年的神经科学研究培训。进一步考虑了已经完成了一些必需的临床文员的学生，因为这是许多学生都在考虑进一步临床培训的时候。 该研讨会与任务高度相关 ninds的作品，这是为了减轻神经系统疾病的负担。 CCRCN直接支持这个值得称赞的目标，该目标旨在增加训练有素的临床医生的数量，以寻找治疗疗法，甚至治愈神经系统疾病。
