PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT We propose a new Training Program in Surgical Innovation (TPSI) to provide pre-doctoral engineering students the knowledge, skills and experience necessary for becoming leaders in surgical innovation. The program will launch research-intensive careers devoted to improving the safety and outcomes of surgical procedures. TPSI will link two substantial institutional investments: a programmatic initiative by Dartmouth’s Thayer School of Engineering (TSE) to create the nation’s first PhD Innovation Program, and construction of a state-of-the-art NIH-sponsored surgical research facility, the Center for Surgical Innovation (CSI). The PhD Innovation Program will provide TPSI national recognition, a well-developed curriculum, experienced faculty, approved advanced degree requirements and a proven track record of success. CSI will provide TPSI trainees access to experienced clinician-scientists and state-of-the-art operating rooms equipped with advanced intraoperative imaging, designed to safely switch between human and large animal use. The requested funding will cover tuition and stipends for an increasing number of pre-doctoral students – 2 in Year 1, 4 in Year 2 and 6 in Years 3-5. TPSI will be overseen by a committee of three Program Directors with expertise in Biomedical Engineering, Surgical Translation, and Innovation & Entrepreneurship, respectively, interfacing with nearly 50 actively-funded potential faculty Mentors. Participating faculty are organized into Biomedical Engineering (BE), Surgical Translation (ST) and Innovation & Entrepreneurship (IE) groups, and each trainee will be assigned to a trio of these Mentors for guidance through the program. Participation in TPSI will require trainees to satisfy all of the elements of TSE’s PhD Innovation degree – technical proficiency, technical breadth, specialization, professional competence, original research and innovation skills development – tailored to the surgical setting, including a new surgical rotation course and a surgical innovation internship. The latter provide immersive learning experiences unlike traditional predoctoral biomedical engineering graduate programs. Methods for trainee recruitment and retention, program evaluation and instruction in responsible conduct of research are in place, and will be monitored and assessed by Dartmouth’s Center for Program Design and Evaluation as an entity external to TPSI. TPSI will draw upon existing distinctions in translational research, innovation and entrepreneurship at Dartmouth, and unprecedented access to CSI’s one-of-a-kind operating rooms. It will create a workforce of surgical innovation experts who devote their talents and careers to improving outcomes of surgical patients. The program will bring an organized, systematic approach to address unsolved problems in surgery, rather than leave them to incremental approaches, chance, or trial and error.

项目摘要/摘要 我们提出了一项新的手术创新培训计划（TPSI），以提供博士前的工程学 学生成为手术创新领导者所需的知识，技能和经验。这 计划将启动专门提高手术的安全性和结果的研究密集型职业 程序。 TPSI将链接两项大量的机构投资：达特茅斯的一项计划倡议 Thayer工程学院（TSE）创建国家的第一个博士创新计划，并建造 最先进的NIH资助外科研究机构，外科创新中心（CSI）。博士学位 创新计划将提供TPSI国家认可，这是一个完善的课程，经验丰富的教师， 批准的高级学位要求和成功的成功记录。 CSI将提供TPSI培训 访问经验丰富的临床科学家和配备高级的最先进的手术室 术中成像，旨在安全地在人类和大型动物之间进行安全切换。要求的资金 将涵盖越来越多的博士前学生的学费和压力 - 第1年，第4年，第2年和 6年3 - 5年。 TPSI将由具有生物医学专业知识的三名计划主管的委员会监督 工程，外科翻译以及创新与企业家精神分别与近50 积极资助的潜在教师导师。参与的教师被组织成生物医学工程（BE）， 手术翻译（ST）和创新与企业家（IE）组，每个学员将被分配给 这些导师的三人通过该计划进行指导。参加TPSI将要求学员满足所有人 TSE博士创新学位的要素 - 技术水平，技术广度，专业化， 专业能力，原始研究和创新技能发展 - 量身定制 设置，包括新的外科旋转课程和手术创新实习。后者提供 与传统的生物医学工程研究生课程不同，沉浸式学习经验。 学员招聘和保留的方法，负责任的计划评估和指令 研究已经到位，将由达特茅斯的计划设计中心监视和评估 评估是TPSI外部的实体。 TPSI将借鉴翻译研究中的现有区别， 达特茅斯（Dartmouth 房间。它将创建一支由外科创新专家组成的劳动力，他们将自己的才华和职业投入到 改善手术患者的预后。该计划将带来有组织的系统方法来解决 手术中未解决的问题，而不是让他们进入逐步的方法，机会或反复试验。
