临床癌症劳动力缺乏多样性会导致过度的负担限制研究和患者护理的进步。招募和保留医学/研究领域代表性不足的个人可以增强患者与提供者的一致性。以学生为中心的癌症职业高级研究管道 (SPARCC) 独特地帮助代表性不足的少数族裔学生快速过渡到临床研究队伍并寻求高级研究生学位。体验式学习理论和文化响应式教学法为 SPARCC 严格的基于能力的课程奠定了基础，其中包括癌症护理、临床试验开发、社会支持和指导研究经验。并行混合方法分析包括对研讨会、临床实践以及事前、事后和事后 6 个月的知识、态度和实践的评估。数据分析包括逐步多元回归分析、Spearman’s rho 相关性以及通过 Cronbach’s alpha (IBM® SPSS® 24.0) 评估项目间可靠性。归纳内容分析编码短语和分析模式被提炼出来，增强了对经历的描述。从 2019 年 1 月到 2019 年 3 月，62% 的申请来自代表性不足的少数族裔。十名学生被录取，其中 90% 被认为是代表性不足的少数族裔。所有 10 名学生均完成了事前、事后和 6 个月后评估。从评估前到评估后 6 个月，总体分数显着提高。评估数据来自 60 个研讨会的 431 份回复，平均分为 9.1（10 分制）。学生完成了三项临床实习，总体平均分为 8.2 分（满分 10 分制）。强大的课程、结构化的招聘、多元化的师资队伍和全面的评估使 SPARCC 成为支持代表性不足的少数族裔学生立即寻求临床研究专业人员就业或申请高级研究生学位课程的引人注目的战略。
A lack of diversity in the clinical cancer workforce causes undue burden limiting research and patient care advancements. Recruitment and retention of individuals underrepresented in medicine/research can enhance patient-provider concordance. The Student-centered Pipeline to Advance Research in Cancer Careers (SPARCC) uniquely prepares underrepresented minority students to quickly transition into the clinical research workforce and seek advanced graduate degrees. Experiential learning theory and culturally responsive pedagogy ground SPARCC’s rigorous competency-based curriculum incorporating cancer care, clinical trial development, social supports, and mentored research experiences. Concurrent mixed-methods analysis includes evaluations of workshops, clinical-practicums, and pre-, post-, and 6-month-post-knowledge, attitudes, and practices. Analysis of data included stepwise multivariate regression analysis, Spearman’s rho correlations, and assessments of inter-item reliability via Cronbach’s alpha (IBM® SPSS® 24.0). Inductive content analysis coded phrases and analytic patterns were distilled enhancing descriptions of experiences. From January 2019 to March 2019, 62% of applications came from underrepresented minorities. Ten students were accepted, 90% identified as underrepresented minority. All ten students completed the pre-, post-, and 6-month-post-evaluations. Overall scores increased significantly from pre-evaluation to 6-month-post-evaluation. Evaluation data came from 431 responses of 60 workshops, with a mean score of 9.1 (10-point scale). Students completed three clinical practicums, which received an overall mean score of 8.2 (10-point scale). A robust curriculum, structured recruitment, diverse faculty, and comprehensive evaluations made SPARCC a compelling strategy for supporting underrepresented minority students to seek immediate employment as clinical research professionals or application to advanced graduate degree programs.
