Program Abstract The goal of this training program is to provide the skill-set necessary for translational surgeon- scientists focused on pediatric diseases. Only 3% of T32 programs in the United States are focused on training surgeon-scientists, and only 1 surgical research training program in pediatrics currently exists in Urology. Pediatric surgical diseases are unique because the vast majority result from congenital anomalies. Consequently, pediatric surgical disciplines require specialized training to be best equipped for a translational research career focused on children. This program will provide a 2- year postdoctoral fellowship in translational basic research for individuals in a surgery residency who are planning on a career as a pediatric surgeon. A total of 3 fellows in the program at one time will receive broad training in the fields of vascular diseases and vascular biology. Vascular anomalies affect 5% of the population and involve every anatomical location and organ system. Consequently, all pediatric surgical specialists manage these disorders. Because vascular biology is applicable to almost all pediatric diseases, graduates will be able to apply the skills learned to a broad range of pediatric conditions. The training program consists of 8 pediatric surgical departments and programs. The 13 program faculty are experts in pediatric surgical diseases, vascular anomalies, and/or vascular biology and include surgeon-scientists and basic scientists. The postdoctoral fellows will be based in one of the faculty’s laboratories and will have independent mentored research projects (70% effort), didactic training in translational research methodology (15% effort), participation in conferences and clinics (10% effort), and guidance by a Mentorship Committee to facilitate their transition to independent research careers in pediatric surgery (5% effort). The postdoctoral fellows will be in an outstanding environment to succeed, supported by an internationally-recognized Pediatric Medical and Research Institution, Vascular Anomalies Center, Vascular Biology Program, Lymphedema Program, and Departments of Cardiac Surgery, General Surgery, Neurosurgery, Orthopedic Surgery, and Plastic Surgery. The program faculty have a long history of collaboration and a proven track-record of successful research funding and mentoring. This unique training program will produce the next generation of pediatric surgeon-scientists with the skill-set necessary to improve the lives of children through innovative translational research.

程序摘要 该培训计划的目的是为翻译外科医生提供必要的技能 - 科学家专注于小儿疾病。在美国，只有3％的T32计划专注于 关于培训外科医生科学家，目前只有1个儿科手术研究培训计划 存在于泌尿外科。小儿手术疾病是独一无二的，因为绝大多数是由 因此，小儿手术学科需要专门的培训 最适合翻译的研究职业，专注于儿童。该程序将提供2- 在手术居住中的个人翻译基础研究中的年度博士后研究金 正在计划从事小儿外科医生的职业。该计划中总共有3个研究员 在血管疾病和血管生物学领域接受广泛的培训。血管异常 影响5％的人口，并涉及每个解剖位置和器官系统。最后， 所有儿科手术专家都管理这些疾病。因为血管生物学适用于 几乎所有儿科疾病，毕业生都可以将所学的技能应用于广泛的技能 小儿条件。该培训计划由8个小儿手术部门和计划组成。 13个计划的教师是儿科手术疾病，血管异常和/或 血管生物学，包括外科医生科学家和基础科学家。博士后研究员将是 位于教师的一个实验室之一，将拥有独立的指导研究项目（70％ 努力），转化研究方法中的教学培训（15％的努力），参与 会议和诊所（10％的努力），以及指导委员会的指导，以促进其 过渡到小儿手术中的独立研究职业（5％的努力）。博士后研究员 在国际公认的支持下，将处于一个杰出的环境中 小儿医学和研究机构，血管异常中心，血管生物学计划， 淋巴水肿计划，以及心脏外科，通用外科，神经外科的部门， 骨科手术和整形手术。该计划教师的合作历史悠久 以及成功的研究资金和心理的著名纪录。这种独特的培训 计划将产生下一代儿科医生科学家，并具有所需的技能 通过创新的翻译研究改善儿童的生活。
