At the event\u2019s conclusion, the medical doctor says: \u201cI had no idea there were veterinary cardiologists like there are human cardiologists.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This interaction occurred at a translational health summit coordinated by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vetmed.wisc.edu\">University of Wisconsin\u2013Madison School of Veterinary Medicine<\/a> in 2018 on the topic of inherited cardiomyopathies \u2014 diseases of the heart muscle \u2014 in people, cats and dogs. Now, the SVM has been awarded a five-year, $3 million grant from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nih.gov\/\">National Institutes of Health<\/a> to further bolster efforts to bring physicians and veterinarians together in support of human and animal health.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur goal is to leverage the skills of veterinary specialists and bring them into research teams, helping physicians and PhD researchers see that many of the diseases they study also occur in animals, and what veterinarians know about these diseases in animals can help advance treatment in people,\u201d says <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vetmed.wisc.edu\/people\/latrepanier\/\">Lauren Trepanier<\/a>, professor and assistant dean for clinical and translational research in the SVM.<\/p>\n<p>The grant will also help support the development of graduate veterinarians into skilled clinician-scientists and address gaps in knowledge of human and animal diseases.<\/p>\n<h3>Translational Research Workforce Training<\/h3>\n<p>Trepanier is principal investigator on the Translational Research Workforce Training grant, in coordination with Professor Christine Sorkness at the UW\u2013Madison School of Pharmacy and partners in the <a href=\"https:\/\/ctsaonehealthalliance.org\/\">Clinical and Translational Science Award One Health Alliance<\/a>: Robert Rebhun at the University of California, Davis; Amara Estrada at the University of Florida; and Eva Furrow at the University of Minnesota.<\/p>\n<p>The program aims to address several current shortfalls that have led to missed opportunities for veterinary clinicians and the field of translational medicine, Trepanier says. These include an inadequate number of research fellowships for veterinarians after residency training, a shortage of clinician-scientist role models and research mentors, and a lack of communication between veterinary and physician scientists regarding shared diseases across different species.<\/p>\n<p>Because of their familiarity with the comparative aspects of disease, veterinarians are uniquely positioned to contribute expertise to translational research teams, Trepanier says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cVeterinarians often understand similarities and differences between animal and human diseases because we go to the human medical literature all the time on the clinic floor. If we\u2019re treating a disease in an animal and there\u2019s no veterinary study, we look at a human study,\u201d she says. \u201cWhat we want physicians to do is look to veterinary medicine and see that there may be a disease that\u2019s just like the disease in humans.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The translational research training program will offer two-year funded fellowships for targeted research training for those just out of residency (advanced training in a variety of clinical specialties), without the commitment of pursuing an additional postgraduate degree. Participants can choose from a menu of fellowship opportunities, to begin in fall 2020, at 15 veterinary medical schools within the COHA network. Each fellowship mentor team will include a mix of MD, DVM, PhD and other specialists, and focus on diseases common to both veterinary and human patients.<\/p>\n<p>For early-career veterinary faculty, a three-day COHA Translational Research Immersion Program \u2014 to be hosted for the first time in September 2019 in Madison and then biennially \u2014 will cover study development, grant writing, research implementation and more. Trainees will also receive mentoring for any planned grant proposals in the year following the immersion program.<\/p>\n<p>This is intended to help equip veterinarians with more confidence as researchers, Trepanier explains. Many are hired into faculty positions with little research experience due to the high demand for certain clinical specialties in veterinary teaching hospitals.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNew faculty are expected to perform research and mentor residents, when maybe they came straight out of a residency themselves,\u201d she says. \u201cThey have every ability to become an excellent researcher; they just need the skill set to feel as satisfied with their research life as they do with their clinical life.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>COHA Translational Summits<\/h3>\n<p>Finally, a series of COHA translational summits across the country will convene established veterinary and human medical researchers who are studying the same diseases. Planned topics range from skin allergies to <a href=\"https:\/\/todaysveterinarynurse.com\/clinical_topics\/oncology\/\">cancer pain<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/todaysveterinarynurse.com\/articles\/improve-outcomes-in-arthritic-pets\/\">osteoarthritis<\/a> and epilepsy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re bringing together clinicians and scientists from different walks of life to collaborate around shared disease interests and advance understanding of these conditions,\u201d Trepanier says. \u201cThe idea is to see what each group can bring to the table to solve this problem and get veterinary researchers into larger teams.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Two pilot summits funded by COHA grants to the SVM, including the 2018 workshop on cardiomyopathies, yielded positive feedback and new cross-professional collaborations, says Trepanier. \u201cPeople said things like, \u2018This is genius,\u2019 \u2018I\u2019ve never been to anything like this before,\u2019 and \u2018This is a real eye-opener.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For Trepanier, who has mentored residents and new faculty for more than 20 years at the SVM, it\u2019s gratifying to see support grow for training the next generation of veterinary clinician-scientists.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe goal isn\u2019t to have them lose their veterinary identity, but rather to keep that identity and bring it to the table in a new way \u2014 to help people see that they don\u2019t have to give up being a clinician to do research and there\u2019s satisfaction in treating patients individually, but also moving the field forward in a bigger way,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<h3>Learn More<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/todaysveterinarynurse.com\"><em>Today\u2019s Veterinary Nurse<\/em><\/a> is the leading
