Update from: Clinical & Translational Science (CTS) Working Group Gerry Quinnan, MD – Chair June 11, 2010
CTS Team Composition • Gerry Quinnan, MD – Preventive Medicine • Ann Jerse, PhD – Microbiology & Immunology • Kent DeZee, MD - Medicine • Ron Gimbel, PhD – Biomedical Informatics
CTS Data Sources • AAMC Medical School Objectives Project: Contemporary Issues in Medicine (2001) • Report of the AAMC-Howard Hughes Medical Institute (2009) • Clinical Research Competencies (CTSA Education Working Group – 2009) • Ad hoc survey of GME Program Directors (2010; DeZee) • Ad hoc survey of basic science faculty (2010; Jerse) • Review of current CTSA award winners; their engagement with medical students (2010; Gimbel)
Overall Strategy • Our report to the curriculum reform working groups will include four key elements: • Description of competencies pertinent to clinical and translational science (CTS) already addressed by SOM • Additional competencies addressed by other medical schools (with CTSA awards) and documents (e.g. AAMC-HHMI report) • Description of potential electives that could be offered to medical students • Identification of need for, and recommended structure of, a formal CTS mentoring program for students
Progress to Date • Organizing meeting May 18th • Defined strategy • Division of labor • Agreed on next steps • Dr. DeZee reported feedback (n=3)
Initial Feedback from GME Program Directors (n=3) • Potential interest in 4th year student experience in clinical research • Students could potentially conduct database research, assist with an ongoing trial, assist with systematic review, help craft a new research idea, author a case report, etc. • Would require “umbrella” IRB approval • Potential to involve residents and fellows as teachers • Require CITI course on protection of Human Subjects prior to arrival
Next Steps • Dr. Jerse discuss CTS with basic science faculty • Dr. DeZee discuss CTS with National Capital Area GME Program Directors • Dr. Gimbel to identify with CTSA awardees are doing
