PROJECT SUMMARY The growing role of imaging in clinical care and biomedical research has resulted in an acute shortage of well- trained clinician-scientists in Radiology. Only a small fraction of current residents choose academics, fewer pursue research, and fewer still garner funding. The UT Southwestern (UTSW) Department of Radiology developed a unique program to train outstanding clinicians and fundable team leaders and scientists. It is based upon the successful and proven model Dr. Mattrey built at UCSD prior to joining UTSW. We select applicants with proven track record in research – those that extended medical school by 1 or more years to perform research, rather than rely on attracting clinically bound trainees to academics. UTSW is fortunate to have attracted over 130 T32 qualified applicants per year over the past 3 years with such a track record. We interview from this group those with excellent medical school performance to ensure that they will perform as well as their highly competitive clinical colleagues. The UTSW training model was improved by 1) guaranteeing an internship slot in our top ranked medicine or surgery programs, and 2) providing 9 months of elective time in the last training year, after the board examination, to hone clinical skills, complete or transition their research if they changed their clinical focus, and time to submit a career award guided by their mentors. The training model immerses the trainee in mentored research and clinical training over the entire 6 years. It begins with the internship year that provides 3 months in Radiology to select a mentor and a project, and prepare them to spend their 2nd year dedicated to research unencumbered by clinical responsibilities. It also keeps trainees engaged during the subsequent 4 clinical years to build upon research by spending 6 weeks of dedicated research time per year, and more so in their last clinical year providing them nearly 2 years of dedicated research. In addition to research training, clinical training will be identical and in sync with their clinical peers making them equally skilled, but will be tailored during the last year to meet their clinical as well as their research goals. In addition to the extensive standard clinical lectures, they will have additional lectures and workshops specific to the needs of a clinician scientist. The mentorship provided over the entire 6 years by their career mentor – selected from one of our 9 clinician-scientists, will be supplemented by their research mentor they select by the end of their internship year providing them role models to guide their future careers. UTSW and the UTSW Department of Radiology are well suited to train the next generation of imaging scientists. Radiology has an extremely supportive Chairman, outstanding resources and infrastructure, and outstanding well-funded mentors in Radiology (>6.5M/year). We added 4 non-Radiology mentors that are engaged in imaging research. Our mentors have trained over 250 trainees in the past 10 years, have 40 current trainees, and are PIs on 42 active grants totaling $22.4M/year with non-competing renewals through 2022. Their trainees have published 690 unique manuscripts the majority of which in high impact journals.

项目摘要 成像在临床护理和生物医学研究中的作用不断增长，导致急性短缺 训练有素的放射学临床科学家。当前居民只有一小部分选择学者，更少 从事研究，更少的仍然获得资金。 UT西南（UTSW）放射学系 开发了一个独特的计划，以培训杰出的临床医生和基本团队领导者和科学家。这是 基于在加入UTSW之前在UCSD建造的成功且验证的模型Mattrey博士。我们选择 在研究中具有良好往绩记录的申请人 - 将医学院延长1年或更长时间的申请人 进行研究，而不是依靠吸引临床上的培训到学者。 UTSW很幸运 在过去的3年中，每年吸引了130多名T32合格的申请人，并通过这样的记录吸引。我们 该小组采访那些具有出色医学院表现的人，以确保他们的表现 以及他们竞争激烈的临床同事。 UTSW培训模型通过1）保证 在我们排名最高的医学或手术计划中的实习插槽，以及2）在9个月的选修期内 董事会考试后的最后一个培训年，以磨练临床技能，完成或过渡他们的研究 他们改变了临床重点，并为了提交由导师指导的职业奖项的时间。 培训模型使学员在整个6年中的研究和临床培训中浸入了培训。它 从实习年开始，该年度提供了3个月的放射学以选择精神和项目，然后 他们准备花费第二年，致力于不受临床责任的不受限制研究。也是如此 在随后的4个临床年份中保持受训者的参与 每年专门的研究时间，在上一年的临床年份，为他们提供了将近2年的 专门的研究。除了研究培训外，临床培训还将与其同步 临床同龄人使他们同样熟练，但将在去年量身定制以满足其临床 作为他们的研究目标。除了广泛的标准临床讲座外，他们还将有其他讲座 以及针对临床科学家需求的讲习班。在整个6年中提供的精通措施 他们的职业导师 - 从我们的9位临床科学家之一中选出的一位，他们的研究将补充 他们在实习年结束前选择的指导者为他们提供了指导未来职业的榜样。 UTSW和UTSW放射学系非常适合培训下一代成像 科学家。放射学拥有极其支持的主席，出色的资源和基础设施，以及 杰出的放射学良好资助导师（> 6.5m/年）。我们添加了4位非放射学导师 从事成像研究。在过去的10年中，我们的导师已经培训了250多名学员，有40名 目前的学员，是42个活跃赠款的PI，总计2240万美元/年，通过不竞争的续订 2022年。他们的学员已经出版了690个独特的手稿，其中大多数在高影响期刊上。
