DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of this training program is to provide a solid foundation upon which to build a productive and independent career in Biomechanics in Regenerative Medicine (BiRM). This goal is accomplished via a highly coordinated and mentored interdisciplinary training program with a combination of required and elective courses, research activities, and specialized training opportunities. The proposed Training Program incorporates faculty from the Departments of Bioengineering, Mechanical Engineering, Orthopedic Surgery, Vascular Surgery, Urology, and the McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine of the University of Pittsburgh, as well as faculty from the Mechanical and Biomedical Engineering Departments from Carnegie Mellon University. This combination of training faculty research interests and coursework will provide a rich educational experience and more numerous training opportunities for the students than could be obtained within the individual university departments. Moreover, the breadth of research areas that span various physiological systems (cardiovascular, musculo-skeletal, urological) allows for a unique opportunity to train students to become highly skilled problem' solvers while avoiding over specialization. Since the BiRM training program is not central to any one department, its structure permits the student a much wider choice of options with which to pursue a PhD in tissue bioengineering and regeneration. In the current departmental focus of graduate education, a PhD student in one department that wishes to perform thesis research in a laboratory in another department finds many departmental based administrative roadblocks in his/her path. The BiRM program eliminates these roadblocks and permits ever increasing educational options for the students and research collaborations. Coursework includes intensive life science, and biomechanics is utilized to provide the students with a thorough grounding in both areas. Skills acquired in these courses are combined in later courses and the trainees' research.

描述（由申请人提供）： 该培训计划的目标是为建立生产力和 再生医学生物力学独立职业（BIRM）。这个目标是通过 高度协调和指导的跨学科培训计划，结合了必需的和 选修课程，研究活动和专业培训机会。拟议的培训计划纳入了来自匹兹堡大学生物工程，机械工程，骨科手术，血管外科手术，泌尿外科，泌尿外科，泌尿外科，泌尿外科，泌尿科手术，泌尿科手术，泌尿科手术，匹兹堡大学再生医学研究所的教职员工，以及来自Carnegie Mellon Mellon University的机械和生物医学工程部门的麦高万再生医学研究所。培训教师研究兴趣和课程的结合将为学生提供丰富的教育经验，并为学生提供更多的培训机会，而不是在各个大学部门中获得的。此外，跨越各种生理系统（心血管，肌肉骨骼，泌尿科）的研究领域的广度使他们有一个独特的机会，可以培训学生成为高技能的问题的解决者，同时避免过度专业化。由于BIRM培训计划对任何一个部门都不是核心，因此其结构允许学生选择在组织生物工程和再生中获得博士学位的选择。在目前的研究生教育部门的重点中，一个希望在另一个部门的实验室进行论文研究的博士生发现，他/她的道路上的许多基于部门的行政障碍。 BIRM计划消除了这些障碍，并许可证不断增加教育选择 学生和研究合作。课程包括强化生命科学，生物力学被用来为学生在这两个领域提供彻底的基础。这些课程中获得的技能在以后的课程和学员的研究中结合在一起。
