DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The NCRR recognizes a growing shortage of veterinarians trained and proficient in the clinical management of captive nonhuman primates used in biomedical research. We request here funding to support three post-DVM residents for two years of training in primate medicine. The Wake Forest University School of Medicine (WFUSM) and the Section of Comparative Medicine have a 50-year history in the use of NHP models of human disease and in the training of veterinarians in laboratory animal and comparative medicine. This training has focused on development of expertise in the management, medicine, pathology and use of NHPs in biomedical research. The research training grant Laboratory Animal and Comparative Medicine Training (MR Adams, current PI) is in its 48th year of continuous funding by and NCRR-supported T32 grant. In addition, WFUSM currently supports residency training of DVMs in laboratory animal medicine and diagnostic pathology. Thus, the training proposed here complements, but does not replace, existing programs. There are 16 members of the training faculty, all have appointments in Comparative Medicine, 14 of these are DVMs, 4 are ACLAM diplomates and 2 are ACVP diplomates. Trainees will choose a DVM mentor, who may also serve as advisor on a limited-scope clinical research project to be conducted as part of their training. All trainees will have an ACLAM diplomate as a mentor or co-mentor. Training will include courses in Medical Primatology, Animal Models in Biomedical Research, and Primate Behavior and Psychological Wellbeing. Also included are rotations in primate clinical medicine and diagnostic pathology; experience-based IACUC training; and short courses in The Management of Nonhuman Primate Research Resource Colonies: SPF and Genetic Considerations, Cost Accounting for Animal Facilities, and Occupational Health. Trainees will also participate in weekly Journal Clubs, Clinical Grand Rounds and the Comparative Pathology Conference. Finally, externships to the Southwest Foundation for Biomedical Research (for experience with baboons and a short course in genetic management of nonhuman primate colonies) and M.D. Anderson Cancer Research Center at Bastrop (for experience with chimpanzees and neotropical primates) are also included.

描述（由申请人提供）：NCRR 认识到，经过培训并精通生物医学研究中圈养非人类灵长类动物临床管理的兽医日益短缺。我们在此请求资金支持三名 DVM 后住院医生接受为期两年的灵长类医学培训。维克森林大学医学院 (WFUSM) 和比较医学科在使用人类疾病 NHP 模型以及对兽医进行实验动物和比较医学培训方面拥有 50 年的历史。该培训的重点是发展管理、医学、病理学和 NHP 在生物医学研究中的使用方面的专业知识。研究培训补助金实验动物和比较医学培训（MR Adams，现任 PI）由 NCRR 支持的 T32 补助金持续资助已是第 48 个年头。此外，WFUSM 目前还支持 DVM 在实验动物医学和诊断病理学方面的住院医师培训。因此，这里提出的培训是对现有计划的补充，但不是取代。培训教师有 16 名，全部拥有比较医学的任命，其中 14 名是 DVM，4 名是 ACLAM 文凭，2 名是 ACVP 文凭。受训者将选择一名 DVM 导师，该导师还可以担任作为培训一部分进行的有限范围临床研究项目的顾问。所有学员都将有一名 ACLAM 文凭作为导师或共同导师。培训将包括医学灵长类动物学、生物医学研究动物模型以及灵长类动物行为和心理健康等课程。还包括灵长类动物临床医学和诊断病理学的轮换；基于经验的 IACUC 培训；以及非人类灵长类研究资源群管理的短期课程：SPF 和遗传考虑因素、动物设施的成本核算和职业健康。学员还将参加每周的期刊俱乐部、临床大查房和比较病理学会议。最后，还包括在西南生物医学研究基金会（获得狒狒方面的经验和非人类灵长类动物群体遗传管理的短期课程）和巴斯特罗普 M.D. 安德森癌症研究中心（获得黑猩猩和新热带灵长类动物方面的经验）的实习机会。
