GRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION BROADENSThe Clinical Center, as the Accreditation Councilfor Graduate Medical Education (ACGME)accredited sponsor of graduate medical educationat NIH, made strides to expand the scopeof Graduate Medical Education (GME) trainingoffered to residents and clinical fellows at theNIH. In 2010, the NINDS-based NeurologicalSurgery program officially received accreditationfrom the ACGME, bringing the NIH’s total to 18accredited programs. The Neurological Surgeryprogram represents the first ACGME accreditedsurgical specialty program at the NIH andis the first collaborative training partnership tobe established between the NIH Clinical Centerand the University ofVirginia Medical Center.This seven-year training program, which providesclinical exposure to a large spectrum of patientswith diseases of the brain and spinal cord at bothinstitutions and in-depth exposure to translationalresearch at the NIH, allows trainees to developthe skills necessary to become highly competent,board-certified academic neurosurgeons.Expansion of GME programs furthers the ClinicalCenter’s mission to educate the next generationof clinician-scientists. With more GME programsavailable at the NIH in more specialty fields,researchers are better able to address the broaderneeds of patients.MEDICAL AND DENTAL STUDENTS SEEKOPPORTUNITIES IN RESEARCHThe Clinical Research Training Program (CRTP)has always been a popular program at the NIH.The level of enthusiasm has reached new heightsthis year. Established in 1997, the program offersunique opportunities for medical and dentalstudents to add one year of school to learnthe principles of and to perform clinical andtranslational research at the NIH. The numberof students who apply for the CRTP has grownsteadily over the last seven years, and the CCreceived a record number of applications for the2010-2011 class. The growth in applications tothe CRTP is depicted in the graph below.Expansion to 30 students a yearThis public-private partnershipis supported by the NIHand the Foundation for theNational Institutes of Healththrough a generous grantfrom Pfizer Inc.160140120100806040200Applications1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 201040 • ANNUAL REPORT 2011
