项目摘要

Project Summary/Abstract Kidney diseases are ever increasing, however there are fewer approved therapies, fewer clinical trials, and fewer research articles published than other internal medicine specialties over the past 10+ years. It has been postulated that the next generation of potential investigators and nephrologists are discouraged from pursuing careers in nephrology from a perception that kidney research is “too complex”. However, other causes may be a limited exposure to clinical nephrology in medical school and a lack of mentors to positively influence kidney research as a career choice. To overcome these obstacles, the kidney community must be willing to utilize novel approaches to building skills and training for a diverse pool of students. Training of PhD and MD students is non-overlapping with little direct interactions of the students limiting future communication skills and creativity. Thus, a new paradigm for translational renal research training of PhD and MD students is required. The overall goal of this proposal is to initiate a pilot program in kidney disease research for a novel scheme of skills development and team training of PhD and MD students at UAB. This novel concept will incorporate team training of PhD and MD students to foster development of critical thinking, communication, team dynamics, and hands on research skills. This will be accomplished by the MD student-PhD student teams participating together in novel coursework and a shared research project. In addition, the PRedOctoral phd and md research training in TEams (PROmoTE) program will provide an opportunity for UAB students to engage directly and deeply in original research focused on kidney disease. This program will expose our students to the rigor and depth of scientific thinking and communication skills that will prepare them to contribute to medical advances throughout their careers. In addition, this program will help to expand the scientist and physician-scientist workforce dedicated to renal research that is currently shrinking in the US, as well as broaden and further enhance the culture of academic investigation of kidney disease at the UAB academic medical center.

项目摘要/摘要肾脏疾病越来越多，但是批准疗法较少，临床试验较少，并且在过去的10年中，发表的研究文章的发表少于其他内科专业。它一直假设下一代潜在的研究者和肾脏病师不愿追求肾脏科学从事肾脏研究“太复杂”的看法。但是，其他原因可能是医学院临床肾脏病的暴露有限，缺乏对肾脏产生积极影响的导师研究作为职业选择。为了克服这些障碍，肾脏社区必须愿意利用为潜水员群体建立技能和培训的新颖方法。博士和医学博士培训学生是不重叠的，几乎没有直接互动的学生限制未来的沟通技巧和创造力。这是需要对PhD和MD学生进行翻译肾脏研究培训的新范式。该提案的总体目标是为肾脏疾病研究启动试点计划 UAB博士和MD学生的技能发展方案和团队培训。这个新颖的概念将合并博士和医学博士学生的团队培训，以促进批判性思维，沟通，团队动态和研究技能。这将由MD Student-PhD学生完成团队一起参加了新的课程和共享研究项目。另外，典型博士学位和MD研究培训（促销）计划将为UAB学生提供机会直接深入参与着针对肾脏疾病的原始研究。这个程序将使我们的学生对科学思维和沟通技巧的严格和深度，将使他们做好准备在整个职业生涯中有助于医疗进步。此外，该程序将有助于扩展科学家和身体科学家劳动力队伍致力于目前正在美国萎缩的肾脏研究随着UAB的肾脏疾病的学术研究培养并进一步增强学术医学中心。
