DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The M.D. /PhD. program at Tufts University School of Medicine and the Sackler School of Graduate Biomedical Sciences is designed to train the physician scientists of the future, and provide an outstanding cadre of investigators well-versed in both the practice of medicine and the conduct of basic biomedical research. Our goal is to bridge the communication and cultural divide that too often separates physicians and scientists and educate individuals who will be firmly rooted in both cultures and achieve highly productive careers that meld these two arenas. Medical training interfaces with eight basic science graduate programs in Biochemistry, Cellular & Molecular Physiology, Cell, Molecular & Developmental Biology, Genetics, Immunology, Molecular Microbiology, Neuroscience, and Pharmacology & Experimental Therapeutics Programs that have a combined faculty of 135. The Tufts MSTP has been funded since 1991, but has undergone a major transformation in the past two years with the appointment of a new director and a new leadership team. A completely redesigned administrative structure, new admissions and advising processes, and major changes in the curriculum have been implemented. Our new curriculum effectively integrates research and clinical training. Research rotations prior to beginning medical school and research selective during the first two years of medical school allow students to make informed decisions about research mentors in a timely fashion. A new Clinical Connections program that provides an array of patient experiences during the years focused on research training has been put in place. A new course "Clinical Implications of Basic Research" that brings together M.D. /PhD. trainees in all phases of their training to discuss the ways bench research is being translated in new clinical practices has also been added. A workshop that provides orientation and hands-on experiences for students transitioning from research to clinical education will be given for the first time in the spring of 2006. A Retreat, seminars, and a career-oriented dinner program are also built into the training program. Our program has graduated 40 trainees since its inception and 32 are currently enrolled. Based on the changes that have occurred, we are requesting funding for 16 positions in this application.

描述（由申请人提供）：医学博士 /博士学位。塔夫茨大学医学院和萨克勒研究生生物医学科学学院的课程旨在培训未来的医师科学家，并为医学实践和基本生物医学研究的实践提供了杰出的研究人员。我们的目标是弥合沟通和文化鸿沟，这些沟通和文化鸿沟经常将医生和科学家分开，并教育将牢固地植根于两种文化并实现融合这两个领域的高产职业的个人。医学培训与八个基础科学研究生课程在生物化学，细胞和分子生理学，细胞，分子和发育生物学，遗传学，免疫学，分子微生物学，神经科学以及药理学和实验治疗方案中的互动，这些计划与135年的总和已经有了统治。新任主任和新领导团队的工作。已经实施了完全重新设计的行政结构，新的入学和建议流程以及课程的重大变化。我们的新课程有效地整合了研究和临床培训。在开始医学院和研究选择性之前的研究轮换中，医学院的最佳选择性使学生可以及时做出有关研究导师的明智决定。一项新的临床连接计划在重点进行研究培训的几年中提供了一系列患者体验。新课程的“基础研究的临床意义”汇集了M.D. /PhD。还添加了培训的各个阶段的学员，讨论了在新的临床实践中翻译板凳研究的方式。 2006年春季，将首次提供为从研究到临床教育过渡的学生提供定向和动手体验的研讨会。培训计划还内置了务虚会，研讨会和面向职业的晚餐计划。自成立以来，我们的计划已经毕业了40名，目前已入学32名。根据发生的变化，我们要求在此应用程序中为16个职位提供资金。
