DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Washington Molecular Medicine Training Program (MMTP) educates Ph.D. students to work at the interface of basic science and medicine, by incorporating elements of medical training into PhD studies. The MMTP builds upon an institutional culture that encourages interdisciplinary science and translational research to create an educational program that successfully combines strong basic science training with a coherent introduction to medicine and medical problem-solving. The goal is to train a new cadre of scientists able to identify important questions in human health and disease and apply cutting-edge experimental strategies to solving these questions, and to this end MMTP training nurtures a dual skill set, as our students receive rigorous training in basic science while mastering the concepts and language of medical science. Training is distinguished by case-based courses, clinical involvement, and dual mentorship of Ph.D. research by a basic scientist and clinician scientist, and a capstone presentation emphasizing medical implications of a student's research project. The MMTP is open to students working toward PhD degrees in basic science departmental or interdisciplinary programs at UW Medical School. A Molecular Medicine Graduate Certificate is awarded at the time of the PhD to recognize the supplementary coursework and training fulfilled by MMTP trainees. The MMTP has launched new courses in Molecular Medicine; established a strong programmatic identity within the University of Washington and the Seattle research communities; and promoted the field of molecular medicine by targeted outreach activities. Students completing this highly interdisciplinary training program have the intellectual tools and the experience in clinical environments to create new, imaginative, and comprehensive solutions to major issues in medicine, and they are thus prepared to become the new generation of leaders in molecular medicine and translational research.

描述（由申请人提供）：华盛顿大学分子医学培训计划（MMTP）培养博士生。通过将医学培训的要素融入到博士研究中，学生可以在基础科学和医学的交叉领域进行工作。 MMTP 建立在鼓励跨学科科学和转化研究的机构文化之上，创建了一个教育计划，成功地将强大的基础科学培训与连贯的医学介绍和医学问题解决结合起来。目标是培养一支新的科学家队伍，能够识别人类健康和疾病中的重要问题，并应用尖端的实验策略来解决这些问题，为此，MMTP 培训培养双重技能，因为我们的学生接受严格的培训在掌握基础科学的同时掌握医学科学的概念和语言。培训的特点是基于案例的课程、临床参与和博士的双重指导。基础科学家和临床科学家的研究，以及强调学生研究项目的医学影响的顶点演讲。 MMTP 向在华盛顿大学医学院攻读基础科学系或跨学科项目博士学位的学生开放。分子医学研究生证书在攻读博士学位时颁发，以表彰 MMTP 学员完成的补充课程和培训。 MMTP推出了分子医学新课程；在华盛顿大学和西雅图研究社区内建立了强大的规划身份；并通过有针对性的外展活动促进分子医学领域的发展。完成这一高度跨学科的培训项目的学生拥有临床环境中的智力工具和经验，可以为医学中的重大问题创造新的、富有想象力的、全面的解决方案，从而准备成为分子医学和转化研究的新一代领导者。
