Mon, 09 Nov 2009 17:25:50 GMT http://www.bidmc.org/MedicalEducation/OfficeofEducationResearch/EssentialElementstoPlanningandConductingaResearchProject.aspx We have grouped activities integral to developing and conducting a research project into three “tracks”: science, feasibility, regulatory. We have chosen these particular groupings because they serve to organize related and essential elements of conducting human subject research in an academic medical setting. While these tracks may seem distinct, in many ways they intersect, as you will see. Addressing each thoroughly and properly can help you move your project along smoothly, while not doing so can result in flawed research and delays. Mon, 09 Nov 2009 17:29:41 GMT http://www.bidmc.org/MedicalEducation/OfficeofEducationResearch/Step1DevelopYourResearch.aspx The purpose of this first step in the process of developing your research project is to find a topic that engages you and to develop a well-defined research question. This will require a comprehensive and careful review of relevant research literature.

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 17:34:30 GMT http://www.bidmc.org/MedicalEducation/OfficeofEducationResearch/Step2RefineYourResearchIdea/Science.aspx Identify a Theoretical Framework or Model Have you been able to identify a theory or model that addresses your topic of interest? A scientific theory should identify an abstract concept or set of concepts, the relationships between those concepts, and the conditions under which one can reliably expect the relationships to exist. Scientific theories are NOT statements of fact, predictions, conjecture, or “common sense.” They are also not intended to answer questions dependent upon a specific time and place; however, they may specify contextual conditions. Models are similar to theories in that they identify and define concepts, but in a diagrammatic way. A theory or a model is very useful because it can help you refine and frame your research question by prompting you to consider alternative explanations. You might find that your research will advance the explanatory power of an existing theory by exploring new terrain, or refute the explanatory power of an existing theory.

You may not be at the point to define the time, personnel and financial resources required, but there are some practical matters to consider. Thu, 19 Nov 2009 17:29:39 GMT http://www.bidmc.org/MedicalEducation/OfficeofEducationResearch/Step2RefineYourResearchIdea/Regulatory.aspx Do you foresee the need for preliminary work at this stage? This could be as simple as informal conversations with colleagues. It could require developing a small research study that involves testing methods, such as a survey or testing coding procedures. It could even involve a preliminary review of medical record data to determine whether there are enough patients with a particular condition that would be relevant to your research intervention. If so, you may need formal approval from the IRB or from the institution. If you do need to review medical records in order to determine if there are enough cases related to the medical condition that relates to your medical education question, you will need to obtain an approval to conduct a Review Preparatory to Research. You can also contact the CCI or the OER for more information about this application process.

The most important include the provision of high quality patient care in an environment welcoming to individuals from all backgrounds, nationalities and origins. “Having a diverse faculty enables us as an institution to think creatively and share different points of view while focusing on excellent patient care,” said Rosemary B. Duda, MD, MPH, Director, Center for Faculty Development. “Some patients are more likely to seek, or are more comfortable with, physicians who are similar in ethnicity, culture, race and/or gender – or those physicians who are sensitive to these differences. A diverse faculty brings to the institution an expansion of the research focus that encompasses health issues as they relate to women and underrepresented minorities.” Tue, 09 Sep 2008 01:41:53 GMT http://www.bidmc.org/MedicalEducation/CenterforFacultyDevelopment/CFDCommittees/CommitteeforMulticulturalFaculty/CMFMembers.aspx List of members Tue, 09 Sep 2008 01:57:45 GMT http://www.bidmc.org/MedicalEducation/CenterforFacultyDevelopment/CFDCommittees/CommitteeforWomensCareers.aspx Members of the committee meet monthly to discuss issues that are pertinent to the women faculty at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.

The fellowship offers two tracks: a traditional MFM fellowship track and a Master in Public Health track. The first year of fellowship is essentially the same for both tracks. In the second and third years, fellows choose which track they would like to follow based on their own interests and goals. The Master in Public Health track allows the fellow to get a Masters Degree in Public Health from Harvard University School of Public Health with a total of 24 months research time. The traditional MFM track gives the fellow 18 months of dedicated research time with 6 months of additional clinical time for electives and further exploration of subspecialties. The fellows are guided by a “mentoring team” which will be tailored for each fellow. The team consists of a basic science or clinical research mentor, a clinical MFM faculty mentor and the Director of the fellowship. The assignment of the mentors depends on the goals and interests of each fellow.

One week is spent in the ambulatory setting, two weeks in labor and delivery, and three weeks in the gynecologic operating room. This allows for a breadth of experience in both types of patients encountered and faculty specialists. The ambulatory experience is based upon a preceptor model in which each student is paired with a general OB/GYN faculty preceptor who directs his or her outpatient experience. This outpatient experience is longitudinal throughout the clerkship - the student has an ambulatory session once a week with their core preceptor. This maintains continuity in both patient care and the student's own learning under the preceptor's guidance. In addition, students have a week-long outpatient experience that includes sessions with a reproductive endocrinologist, a maternal fetal medicine specialist, a gynecologic oncologist, a urogynecologist, a colposcopy and laser specialist, and a general gynecologist.

Years 3 and 4 serve as a time to consolidate and integrate skills. Specifically, PGY-1 is devoted entirely to Anatomic Pathology. In each month, residents train in both Surgical (~75% of the work time) and Autopsy Pathology (~25%). In Surgical Pathology, residents are exposed to different organ systems and the broad range of specimens, both small and large. Of note, in our program there is only limited organization of Surgical Pathology into subspecialties. We believe this provides a significant training advantage as residents are continually exposed to disease entities throughout the year, thereby reinforcing learning. Importantly, to promote optimal acquisition of diagnostics skills, we give residents time to study and diagnose their slides prior to signing out their cases with attending staff pathologists. Thu, 15 Oct 2009 14:32:55 GMT http://www.bidmc.org/MedicalEducation/Departments/Pathology/Residency/AnatomicPathologyOnlyTrack.aspx The major educational goal of this program pathway is to train future leaders in academic surgical pathology.

Activities in Anatomic Pathology continue in the second and third years, and include rotations in Pediatric and Forensic Pathology, Cytopathology, Molecular Pathology and Cytogenetics, Hematopathology, Laboratory Administration, further exposure to other subspecialties, and opportunities for research. The third year is modified to suit subspecialty interests. Here residents polish their skills as diagnostic surgical pathologists in preparation for a career in academic surgical pathology. Typically, electives involving clinical or translational research projects enable the resident to develop a subspecialty research interest. Thu, 15 Oct 2009 14:32:55 GMT http://www.bidmc.org/MedicalEducation/Departments/Pathology/Residency/ClinicalPathologyOnlyTrack.aspx The major educational goal of this program pathway is to train future leaders in Laboratory Medicine. It is especially intended for those who wish to develop leadership capabilities in a clinical pathology subspecialty in combination with extensive research training in our physician-scientist track. The first year is the same as the clinical pathology core year in the combined AP-CP program. The second and third years include rotations in Molecular Pathology and Cytogenetics, additional rotations in the four basic laboratory modules, and time for extensive subspecialty training in a laboratory medicine discipline. Subspecialty training opportunities may be combined with fellowship training to obtain an especially in depth and goal oriented educational experience. For physician-scientst track residents, postdoctoral research experience will be integrated with residency and subspecialty training to develop a compelling academic portfolio. Thu, 25 Sep 2008 13:37:52 GMT http://www.bidmc.org/MedicalEducation/Departments/Pathology/Residency/PhysicianScientistTrack.aspx This pathway prepares residents for the role of physician-scientist by emphasizing basic science research during pathology training in the context of a AP or CP only training pathway. Residents complete PGYs 1 and 2 for the AP or CP track in which they are enrolled and additional clinical rotations as may be required to satisfy board requirements. For those residents who demonstrate a strong interest and potential for success in basic science research and have received evaluations that attest to their excellence, the additional time in the third year and beyond will consist of a full-fledged post-doctoral research fellowship. The goal of this training experience is to prepare residents for entry level faculty positions as physician-scientists in pathology. The Department of Pathology will provide 2 years of full salary support to allow trainees to develop a significant body of original work and to undergo the transition from post-doctoral fellow to independent faculty member. Generally, this training experience will require more than 2 years of scientific training.

Thu, 17 Jul 2008 13:03:09 GMT http://www.bidmc.org/MedicalEducation/Departments/Pathology/Fellowship/MedicalMicrobiology.aspx ACGME-approved Medical Microbiology Fellowship positions will be available starting July 1, 2008. The program is one year in length and will qualify fellows to sit for the Medical Microbiology Board Examination, a subspecialty board of the American Board of Pathology. A pre-requisite for fellowship training is successful completion of either a pathology residency training program (in AP and/or CP) or an infectious disease fellowship. The goal of the program is to train fellows to assume leadership roles in academic, tertiary care, or publich health microbiology laboratories. Philosophically we believe that this education is best accomplished through hands-on instruction in microbiological methods, direct participation in the consultative and administrative activities of the microbiology laboratory, and participation in activities of the infectious diseases, pharmacy, and infection control/hospital epidemiology departments. The organization of the program reflects these goals. Fellows will have rotations at Children's Hospital Boston and the Massachusetts State Laboratory to ensure sufficient exposure to pediatric and public health microbiology respectively. A detailed description of the fellowship program will be posted in the next few months. Applications may be obtained from Joan Allin, Residency and Fellowships Training Coordinator (jallin@bidmc.harvard.edu ).
