The University of Botswana School of Medicine (UB SoM) enrolled in first class of students in 2009 and began a residency program in 2010. The School was formed to train doctors who are citizens of Botswana with the hope of retaining them in country. In prior years, medical students were educated outside the country at the government's expense; however, less than 15% returned to Botswana. The University of Pennsylvania (Penn) established collaborations with the Government of Botswana and UB in 2001, which is referred to as the Botswana-UPenn Partnership. The partnership focuses on building health care capacity in clinical care, education, and research in Botswana. The goals of this Core are to enhance the education of UB SoM trainees and faculty in clinical research methodology focused on cervical cancer, and to provide scientific and career mentoring for trainees and faculty who apply for pilot grant funding. To achieve these goals: 1. We will introduce a career-mentoring program at UB for faculty and students interested in biomedical research. No such mentoring program currently exists at UB. Entry into the career-mentoring program will be based on those trainees and faculty who submit a pilot grant application. All applicants will be offered career mentoring independent of their success in obtaining pilot grant funding. We distinguish career mentors from scientific mentors in that career mentors are often senior faculty with successful careers that do not necessarily share scientific interests with their mentees. One senior faculty member from UB and another from Penn will be identified as career mentors. 2. We will organize an annual educational workshop in biomedical research methodology for UB faculty and medical trainees We will focus on teaching at an introductory level about the skills required for biomedical research with an emphasis on epidemiology, pathogenesis and treatment of cervical cancer, which is the central theme of this application. Lectures will target UB medical students. Masters of Medicine (MMed) residents working on a research thesis, and UB faculty interested in biomedical research. 3. We will initiate a mentored pilot grant program that links a UB faculty member with a UB MMed resident and/or medical student and a scientific mentor from Penn. We are particularly interested in supporting pilot grant applications that include as a team member UB medical students enrolled in a novel year-out program for biomedical research funded by the Botswana Government. We will devote one day of the annual workshop to lectures on manuscript and grant writing, to supervising the faculty and trainees as they begin to prepare their pilot grant applications, and to helping applicants identify suitable scientific mentors at Penn for their projects. We will establish performance measures to monitor the success of our programs. The 13-year commitment of Penn faculty in Botswana and the collegial relationships that have emerged are positive indicators that this Core will succeed in achieving its research and mentoring goals.

博茨瓦纳大学医学院 (UB SoM) 于 2009 年招收第一届学生，并开始 2010 年住院医师计划。该学校的成立是为了培训博茨瓦纳公民的医生，希望 将他们留在国内。前几年，医学生在国外的政府机构接受教育 费用;然而，只有不到 15% 的人返回博茨瓦纳。宾夕法尼亚大学（Penn）成立 2001年与博茨瓦纳政府和布法罗大学合作，称为博茨瓦纳-宾夕法尼亚大学 合伙。该合作伙伴关系的重点是建设临床护理、教育和研究方面的医疗保健能力 博茨瓦纳。该核心的目标是加强 UB SoM 学员和教师的临床教育 研究方法侧重于宫颈癌，并为学员和人员提供科学和职业指导 申请试点拨款资助的教师。为了实现这些目标： 1. 我们将推出职业指导计划 布法罗大学为对生物医学研究感兴趣的教师和学生提供服务。目前尚无此类指导计划 UB。参加职业指导计划将取决于那些提交试点补助金的学员和教员 应用。所有申请人都将获得职业指导，无论他们是否成功获得试点资助 资金。我们将职业导师与科学导师区分开来，因为职业导师通常是具有以下资格的高级教师： 成功的职业不一定与他们的学员有共同的科学兴趣。高级教员一名 布法罗大学的一名学生和宾夕法尼亚大学的另一名学生将被确定为职业导师。 2.我们将组织一年一度的教育活动 为布法罗大学教师和医学实习生举办生物医学研究方法研讨会 我们将重点在 生物医学研究所需技能的入门级，重点是流行病学， 宫颈癌的发病机制和治疗，这是本应用的中心主题。讲座将针对 布法罗大学医学生。正在撰写研究论文的医学硕士 (MMed) 住院医师和 UB 教师 对生物医学研究感兴趣。 3. 我们将启动一项指导性试点资助计划，将布法罗大学的教职人员联系起来 布法罗大学医学硕士住院医师和/或医学生以及宾夕法尼亚大学科学导师的成员。我们特别 有兴趣支持试点拨款申请，其中包括作为团队成员的布法罗大学医学院学生 由博茨瓦纳政府资助的新颖的生物医学研究年计划。我们将奉献一天的时间 年度研讨会，讲授手稿和资助写作，监督教师和学员 开始准备试点拨款申请，并帮助申请人在宾夕法尼亚大学找到合适的科学导师 为他们的项目。我们将制定绩效衡量标准来监控我们计划的成功。 13年 宾夕法尼亚大学在博茨瓦纳的教师的承诺以及已经出现的学院关系是积极的指标 该核心将成功实现其研究和指导目标。
