Research Training in Biopsychosocial Breast Cancer Research

Abstract

This report summarizes activities and accomplishments during the third year of a four year training program in biopsychosocial breast cancer (BC) research. Three trainees (1 postdoctoral; 2 predoctoral) were reappointed to the training program in July, 2001. Research training was furnished by a multidisciplinary faculty of six. The training program consists of 5 components, all of which were successfully implemented during 2001- 2002. Training faculty and trainees participated in a biweekly BC seminar which allowed for oversight of trainee activities, didactic presentation of clinical aspects of BC, and discussion of ongoing and anticipated BC-related research projects. Trainees also received supervised guidance in all phases of the research enterprise. Specifically, trainees participated in: (1) development and implementation of one group research project; (2) ongoing data collection, preparation, and analysis for 2 other ongoing group projects; and (3) manuscript preparation for 3 completed research projects. Both predoctoral trainees completed didactic course requirements. One new predoctoral and 1 new postdoctoral trainee were recruited and appointed for 2002-2003. One current predoctoral and 1 current postdoctoral trainee were reappointed for 2002-2003.
