Global Training Program
The Global Training Program of the Center for Pediatric Trauma Research (CPTR) seeks to promote optimal care of the injured patient by enhancing treatment and minimizing harm following injury.
The program has three objectives:
- To sponsor a six-month training program for trauma research scholars from the developing world in trauma research methods focused on improving the outcomes for injured persons
- To create an international trauma speakers program at the Center for Pediatric Trauma Research
- To collaborate on trauma research with investigators in the developing world
CPTR’s Global Visiting Scholar’s program is part of a larger International Visiting Scholars Program that was established as part of the International Program at the Nationwide Children’s Hospital. Selected scholars are matched with a faculty member who serves as their mentor. Scholars apply for a non-immigrant visiting scholar visa and are expected to sign an agreement stating their intent to return to their home country. Global scholars receive in-depth training in trauma research methodology and have the opportunity to pursue research projects with the goal of publishing in U.S. peer-reviewed journals.
In order to enhance global scientific exchange, the Global Training Program invites international trauma experts to Columbus, Ohio for academic exchanges in trauma research and trauma care.
The Center for Pediatric Trauma Research seeks international cooperative opportunities and agreements to conduct collaborative injury-related and trauma research around the world.
