DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The NCRR has placed a priority on training adequate numbers of veterinarians in nonhuman primate (NHP) clinical medicine in order to provide support to the NIH funded National Primate Research Centers and other NHP resources to meet the nation's biomedical, behavioral and translational research needs. This application requests funds to create an educational program for veterinarians at the Tulane National Primate Research Center (TNPRC). The objective of the program is to provide sound training in clinical medicine to veterinarians who will use their skills in environments that maintain and use NHP in biomedical research. Preparation for these environments requires that veterinarians are trained in the most modern diagnostic, medical and surgical techniques available. To fully realize their potential in the NHP research environment, veterinarians should be capable of transferring their clinical knowledge to the research setting. In addition to providing the necessary skills for maintaining regulatory compliance and the health of NHP breeding colonies, the graduates of the proposed TNPRC program will be capable of integrating themselves as team members in research programs that utilize the NHP model. The proposed education program will provide the necessary prerequisites for board eligibility in the American College of Laboratory Animal Medicine (ACLAM). Because of the specialized nature of NHP animal care and research programs, veterinarians who are trained to be excellent clinicians and are educated in the provision of research support will offer exceptional strength to research programs that utilize NHPs. The TNPRC has a history of training clinical veterinarians under this philosophy and it has produced individuals who have integrated well into the practice of NHP medicine and provided an invaluable national research resource.

描述（由申请人提供）：NCRR优先考虑培训足够数量的非人类灵长类动物（NHP）临床医学的兽医，以便为NIH资助的国家灵长类动物研究中心和其他NHP资源提供支持，以满足该国的生物医学，行为和转化研究需求。该申请要求资金在杜兰国家灵长类动物研究中心（TNPRC）为兽医创建一个教育计划。该计划的目的是向将在生物医学研究中使用和使用NHP的环境中使用其技能的兽医提供临床医学训练。为这些环境的准备工作要求兽医接受最现代的诊断，医学和外科手术技术的培训。为了充分意识到他们在NHP研究环境中的潜力，兽医应该能够将其临床知识转移到研究环境中。 除了提供维持监管合规性和NHP育种殖民地健康的必要技能外，拟议的TNPRC计划的毕业生还能够将自己纳入利用NHP模型的研究计划中。拟议的教育计划将为美国实验室动物医学学院（ACLAM）提供必要的董事会资格前提条件。由于NHP动物护理和研究计划的专业性质，受过训练为优秀临床医生并接受研究支持的教育的兽医将为利用NHP的研究计划提供出色的力量。 TNPRC具有培训临床兽医的历史，它在这种哲学下，它产生了已经很好地融入NHP医学实践并提供了宝贵的国家研究资源的个人。
