ABSTRACT Reduction of the significant burden of neglected tropical diseases (NTD) calls for physician- scientists and their medical breakthroughs. NIH has alerted about the need to stimulate and protect such dwindling careers. Success is significantly more likely among talented medical trainees who are early engaged in such careers. Considering this principle, the School of Medicine at Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia (UPCH), in collaboration with the Institute of Tropical Medicine Alexander von Humboldt (IMTAvH), developed an Introductory Research Course for the curricula of second year medical students (implemented since 2015 with support from 5D43TW009763). Bright 2nd and 3rd year medical students searching for actual lab research opportunities have started research careers mentored by Dr. Montes, Principal Investigator, and colleagues. The emerging pool of qualified undergraduates committed to medical research, along the mentoring culture and the critical mass of highly trained mid- and early career physician-scientists, determines a unique, extremely positive timing at UPCH for an organizational boost of physician scientists’ careers. Reinforcing the partnership with Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas, UPCH aims to leverage on this promising context to establish the first biomedical sciences dual-degree program in Peru, whose main research focus would be immunological mechanisms of neglected tropical and enteric diseases. Our envisioned Global Infectious Diseases Training Program (D43) will be offered to outstanding medical students during their pre-clinical training. To refine the final D43, this two- year planning grant aims to: 1) develop the curricular design of the MSc; 2) address in both academic institutions the feasibility of accommodating dual accreditation requirements for an MD- MSc combined program; 3) develop the induction program for MD/MSc faculty, stimulating good mentoring practices towards very young trainees; 4) pilot implement the MSc curricular components; 5) analyze strategies to optimize trainees’ retention and transition into scientific independence, with involvement of Peruvian stakeholders. After completion of this planning process, we will be in an exceptional position to develop and implement a robust and highly competitive D43 application that will become a capacity building milestone of Peruvian Physician-Scientists. As former FIC trainees who returned to UPCH 15 years ago, we are eager to contribute to substantially enrich the research environment of our bright undergraduate physician scientists in training.

抽象的 减少被忽视的热带疾病（NTD）的大量燃烧呼吁进行物理 - 科学家及其医学突破。 NIH提醒需要刺激和保护 如此减少的职业。在才华横溢的医疗学员中，成功的可能性更大 早日从事这样的职业。 考虑到这一原则，佩鲁阿纳·卡耶塔诺·埃雷迪亚大学的医学院 （UPCH）与热带医学研究所Alexander von Humboldt（IMTAVH）合作 开发了第二年医学生课程的介绍性研究课程 （自2015年以来，在5D43TW009763的支持下实施）。 Bright 2年和第三年医学 搜索实际实验室研究机会的学生已经开始研究研究职业 蒙特斯博士，首席研究员兼同事。新兴的合格本科生 致力于医学研究，沿着精神文化和受过良好训练的临界 中和早期职业生理科学家在UPCH决定了一个独特的，非常积极的时机 为了提高身体科学家职业的组织。 加强与德克萨斯州休斯顿贝勒医学院的伙伴关系，UPCH的目标是 在这个承诺的背景下杠杆作用，以建立第一个生物医学科学双度计划 秘鲁的主要研究重点是被忽视的热带和 肠道疾病。我们将提供我们设想的全球传染病培训计划（D43） 在临床前培训期间给杰出的医学生。为了完善最终D43，这两个 年度计划赠款的目标是：1）开发MSC的课程设计； 2）在两个地址 学术机构接受MD-接受双重认证要求的可行性 MSC合并计划； 3）制定用于MD/MSC教师的归纳计划，刺激良好 对非常年轻的学员的心理实践； 4）试点实施MSC当前组件； 5）分析策略，以优化受训者的保留和过渡到科学独立性，并与 秘鲁利益相关者的参与。 完成此计划过程后，我们将处于开发和 实施强大且竞争激烈的D43应用程序，该应用将成为能力建设 秘鲁医师科学家的里程碑。作为前FIC学员，他们回到Upch 15年 以前，我们渴望为大量丰富我们光明的研究环境做出贡献 培训的本科生科学家。
