Abstract
This report summarizes activities and accomplishments during the second year of a 4 year training program in biopsychosocial breast cancer research. Three new trainees: (1) postdoctoral; and (2) predoctoral) were appointed to the training program in July, 2000. Research training was furnished by a multidisciplinary faculty of six. The training program consists of 5 components, all of which were successfully implemented Specifically, training faculty and trainees participated in a monthly breast cancer seminar which allowed for oversight of trainee activities, didactic presentation of clinical aspects of breast cancer, and discussion of ongoing and anticipated breast cancer-related research projects. Trainees received supervised guidance in all phases of the research enterprise. Specifically, trainees participated in the development and implementation of three new research projects. Trainees also participated in data analysis and manuscript preparation for two additional breast cancer-related research projects. Both predoctoral trainees completed one required didactic course and enrolled in the second. Finally, trainees participated in breast clinic activities. Following review of their progress, all three trainees were reappointed to a second year of research training.
