DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The objective is to renew and increase MSTP funding for the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine (UCCOM) Physician Scientist Training Program (PSTP) which contributes well-trained physician-scientists to the national biomedical research, teaching and patient care enterprise. UCCOM and Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center have a large research base and infrastructure with faculty and graduate programs of sufficient breadth, depth, and extramural support to increase the number of PSTP matriculants from 6 to 10 students per year. Increasing student numbers will give greater critical mass, institutional visibility and stability. MSTP funding has given us greater recognition as a first-rate program and we have doubled the number of applications from top quality students over the past 4 years. Applicants are evaluated on 1) undergraduate course and research accomplishments, 2) the quality and substance of recommendation letters, 3) performance on MCAT and/or GRE, 4) statement of career goals and perception of the value of the combined M.D. /PhD. degree in reaching these goals, and 5) evidence of significant exploration of research and health care opportunities afforded by gaining the M.D. /PhD. degree. Recruitment of underrepresented minorities continues as a major priority of the program. Minimum combined degree requirements are: basic science foundation courses in medicine, advanced graduate courses and electives, Ph.D. qualifying exam, Ph.D. dissertation and its defense, Legal & Ethical Issues in Research and Medicine, Clinical Foundations of Medical Practice, USMLE parts I and II, clinical competency, clinical clerkships and an acting internship. Programmatic components, including orientation, the M.D./PhD. student organization, physician advisors, biomedical science series, biweekly lunch meetings, a distinguished lecturer series, senior flex time, and social events, combine to create an outstanding environment to foster the growth and development of physician-scientists. Physician-scientists are individually trained to combine the width of knowledge of medical practice with the depth of rigorous scientific investigation. As such, they are individuals who are able to make clinical observations, develop hypotheses to test in the laboratory and bring the resulting discoveries back to clinical practice. To capitalize on the recent advances in sequencing the genome and in molecular medicine, we need well-trained physician-scientists with both M.D. and Ph.D. degrees to improve health care outcomes.

描述（由申请人提供）：目的是为辛辛那提大学医学院（UCCOM）医师科学家培训计划（PSTP）续订和增加MSTP资金，该计划（PSTP）为国家生物医学研究，教学和患者护理企业贡献良好的医师科学家。 UCCOM和Cincinnati儿童医院医疗中心拥有大量的研究基础和基础设施，并具有足够的广度，深度和壁外支持，以将PSTP母亲的数量从每年的6个学生增加到10名。增加的学生人数将带来更大的临界质量，机构可见性和稳定性。 MSTP资金使我们更加认可一流的计划，并且在过去4年中，我们的申请数量增加了一倍。对申请人进行评估1）本科课程和研究成就，2）推荐信的质量和实质，3）MCAT和 /或GRE上的绩效，4）职业目标的声明以及合并的M.D. /PHD价值的看法。达到这些目标的学位，以及5）获得医学博士学位 /博士学位提供的研究和医疗保健机会的证据。程度。招募代表性不足的少数民族将继续作为该计划的重点。最低学位要求是：医学基础科学基金会课程，高级研究生课程和选修课，博士学位。合格考试，博士学位论文及其在研究和医学方面的辩护，法律和道德问题，医学实践的临床基础，USMLE第I和II部分，临床能力，临床文书和代理实习。程序化组件，包括方向，M.D./phd。学生组织，医师顾问，生物医学科学系列，每周午餐会议，杰出的讲师系列，高级弹性时间和社交活动，共同创造了一个杰出的环境，以促进医师科学家的成长和发展。医师科学家进行了单独培训，以将医学实践知识的宽度与严格的科学研究深度相结合。因此，他们是能够进行临床观察，制定假设以在实验室进行测试的人，并将结果发现带回临床实践。为了利用测序基因组和分子医学的最新进展，我们需要训练有素的医师科学家和博士学位。改善医疗保健结果的学位。
