PROJECT SUMMARY The University of Iowa Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP) has successfully prepared students for careers as physician-scientists since its inception as an NIH-funded MSTP in 1977. The goal of the MSTP is to recruit, nurture, and graduate a diverse pool of well-trained physician-scientists with the technical, operational, and professional skills necessary to transition into successful careers in the biomedical research workforce. This goal is achieved through an integrated curriculum that assimilates scientific and clinical training, constantly emphasizing the intersections between science and medicine. Students complete 1.5 years of pre-clinical medical coursework, 4 to 5 years of graduate training, and approximately 1.5 years of clinical clerkships to fulfill the requirements for both the MD and PhD degrees. We have defined seven specific objectives for our graduating students, which are measured in our evidenced-based evaluation process. Upon completion of the MSTP, graduating students will be able to: 1) Combine the knowledge bases of science and medicine to establish a strong foundation; 2) Integrate critical thinking, reasoning and rigor in the conduct of research; 3) Demonstrate integrity in research and clinical practice; 4) Demonstrate skills in oral and written communication; 5) Recognize the importance of diversity, equity and inclusion; work effectively in a diverse professional environment, demonstrating respect for individual differences; 6) Demonstrate leadership in research and clinical care; and 7) Understand the diversity of career options for physician scientists. The U of Iowa MSTP is led by Co-PIs Steven Lentz, MD, PhD (Director) and Pamela Geyer, PhD (Co-Director) who share a long-standing passion for mentoring and training physician-scientists. The Program incorporates specific coursework and activities throughout the course of study to provide integration and enrichment of the curriculum and foster program identity, professionalism, teamwork, communication, career development skills, and mentorship of students during transitions. The Program has 87 talented and diverse faculty members who provide exciting research training opportunities. Students are extensively involved in MSTP leadership, serving as members on the Executive, Admissions, MSTP Mondays, Seminar, Retreat, Wellness, and Women's Group committees. The Program enjoys strong institutional support from the Deans of the Carver College of Medicine and the Graduate College, who promote the MSTP as a driver for innovation in research, education and service at the university. The U of Iowa MSTP currently has 73 trainees, of which 43% are women and 18% are from groups underrepresented in medicine. The majority of our graduates have gone on to careers at major academic medical centers or research institutions. This application requests support for 18 trainees per year, reflecting the strength and outcomes of our training program.

项目概要 爱荷华大学医学科学家培训计划 (MSTP) 已成功为学生做好准备 自 1977 年作为 NIH 资助的 MSTP 成立以来，一直致力于为医师科学家提供职业生涯。 MSTP 旨在招募、培养和培养一批训练有素的多样化医师科学家， 过渡到成功职业生涯所需的技术、操作和专业技能 生物医学研究人员。这一目标是通过综合课程来实现的，该课程吸收了 科学和临床培训，不断强调科学和医学之间的交叉点。 学生完成 1.5 年的临床前医学课程、4 至 5 年的研究生培训，以及 大约 1.5 年的临床见习，以满足医学博士和博士学位的要求。 我们为即将毕业的学生制定了七个具体目标，这些目标是通过我们的 基于证据的评估过程。完成 MSTP 后，毕业生将能够： 1）结合科学和医学的知识基础，建立坚实的基础； 2）整合 研究进行中的批判性思维、推理和严谨性； 3) 表现出研究和实践的诚信 临床实践； 4）表现出口头和书面沟通技巧； 5）认识到的重要性 多样性、公平性和包容性；在多元化的专业环境中有效工作，展示 尊重个体差异； 6) 在研究和临床护理方面表现出领导力；和 7) 了解医师科学家职业选择的多样性。爱荷华大学 MSTP 由 Co-PI 领导 Steven Lentz 医学博士、哲学博士（主任）和 Pamela Geyer 博士（联合主任）有着共同的长期共识 对指导和培训医师科学家的热情。该计划包含特定的课程作业 和整个学习过程中的活动，以提供课程的整合和丰富 培养项目认同感、专业精神、团队合作、沟通、职业发展技能，以及 过渡期间对学生的指导。该项目拥有 87 名才华横溢且多元化的教职人员 他们提供令人兴奋的研究培训机会。学生广泛参与MSTP 领导，担任执行、招生、MSTP 星期一、研讨会、静修会的成员， 健康和妇女团体委员会。该计划得到了来自机构的大力支持 卡弗医学院和研究生院院长将 MSTP 作为推动者进行推广 表彰大学研究、教育和服务方面的创新。爱荷华大学 MSTP 目前有 73 受训者中，43% 是女性，18% 来自医学界代表性不足的群体。大多数 我们的毕业生已在主要学术医疗中心或研究机构继续工作。 该申请要求每年为 18 名学员提供支持，反映了我们的实力和成果 培训计划。
