项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY There are major challenges facing the nephrology community in the United States. One is the overall decrease in interest in nephrology as a specialty; the second one is the overall decreased interest in a career as physician scientist. Therefore, implementation of programs at earlier stages of training in areas where the interest in academic medicine is diminishing is a priority. The long-term goal of this proposal is to increase the interest in nephrology among medical school trainees in Florida. In order to achieve this goal, we propose to engage ten first year medical students in a summer program designed to foster interest in nephrology by exposing students to basic, clinical, and translational science research opportunities. This state-wide summer school of nephrology will be named UM- KIIMERA: University of Miami Kidney Innovative & Interdisciplinary Medical Education in Research Activities. In order the achieve the proposed goal, the specific aims of this program are: a) Engage ten first year medical students (five from UM, and 5 from other Florida Institutions) in a eight-week summer research program (b) Retain the engaged students by promoting their participation in Nephrology scholarly activities, attending local and national nephrology meeting, and become active members of the local APSA chapter. UM-KIIMERA curriculum will include lectures on clinical, translational and experimental research, a mentor-mentee breakfast, a welcome symposium, a eight- week immersive experience in a specific research project, a dedicated journal club, a closing Saturday morning with brief presentations and an introduction to members of the University of Miami American Physician Scientist Association (APSA) chapter. Several post course scholarly activities and research opportunities are provided to maintain the students engaged in the program throughout medical school. The program is designed to empower and be empowered by existing training grants and Institutional research opportunities and events. An organizing program committee will operate under the supervision of an External Advisory Committee (EAB). A selected group of CTSI certified mentors will be available to the students. Outcome metrics such as U-KIIMERA students career choice will be collected yearly and utilized to guide the program towards its goals.

项目概要美国肾脏病学界面临着重大挑战。一是整体对肾脏病学这一专业的兴趣下降；第二个是整体兴趣下降医师科学家的职业生涯。因此，在培训的早期阶段实施计划对学术医学的兴趣正在减弱的领域是优先考虑的领域。本次活动的长远目标该提案旨在提高佛罗里达州医学院实习生对肾脏病学的兴趣。为了为了实现这一目标，我们建议让十名一年级医学生参加暑期项目旨在通过让学生接触基础、临床和转化来培养对肾脏病学的兴趣科学研究的机会。这所全州肾脏病学暑期学校将被命名为 UM- KIIMERA：迈阿密大学肾脏创新与跨学科医学教育研究活动。为了实现拟议的目标，该计划的具体目标是：八周内十名一年级医学生（五名来自密歇根大学，五名来自佛罗里达州其他机构）暑期研究计划 (b) 通过促进学生参与肾脏病学术活动，参加地方和国家肾脏病会议，并变得活跃当地 APSA 分会的成员。 UM-KIIMERA 课程将包括临床、转化和实验研究、导师与学员早餐、欢迎研讨会、八人特定研究项目的一周沉浸式体验、专门的期刊俱乐部、闭幕式周六上午，进行简短的演讲并向迈阿密大学成员进行介绍美国医师科学家协会 (APSA) 分会。多项课程后学术活动并提供研究机会，以保持学生在整个项目中的参与度医学院。该计划旨在增强现有培训补助金的能力并得到现有培训补助金的支持机构研究机会和活动。组织计划委员会将运作在外部咨询委员会（EAB）的监督下。精选一组获得 CTSI 认证将为学生提供导师。 U-KIIMERA 学生职业等成果指标将每年收集选择并用于指导该计划实现其目标。
