鉴于种族、民族和性别在医疗保健结果方面存在着充分的不平等，许多卫生事业管道项目都侧重于支持发展一支多元化和包容性的劳动力队伍。犹他州幅员辽阔，但除盐湖城市区外人烟稀少。在我们近85,000平方英里的土地上，96%以上是农村（<100人/平方英里）或边疆（<7人/平方英里）。盐湖城地区是汉斯曼癌症研究所的所在地，这是该地区唯一一个nci指定的综合癌症中心，也注意到生物医学癌症研究人员的多样性有限。我们的主要目标是增加未被充分代表的接受高等教育的受训者的数量，他们的目标是从事癌症研究。PathMaker是一个区域性的、竞争性的管道项目，旨在培养历史上代表性不足的高中或本科学员从事癌症研究。我们的教职员工团队合作开发了一个队列模式课程，提高了学生对研究职业选择的认识；提供学术和专业发展、文化和社会支持、进化成功策略、积极的指导和领导技能发展；并营造一个持续评估和改进的环境。自2016年5月试点项目启动以来，亨斯迈癌症研究所（Huntsman cancer Institute）的癌症研究实验室共招募了44名未被充分代表的学员，其中大多数仍在大学。11名学员大学毕业：5名在STEM工作，1名攻读STEM博士学位；两个在医学院，三个死于随访。校友报告对PathMaker的满意度很高，并将在学业成功方面得到关注和支持。PathMaker是一个可复制的模式，以增加生物医学癌症研究人员的多样性和包容性。
Given the well-documented inequities in health care outcomes by race, ethnicity, and gender, many health career pipeline programs have focused on supporting the development of a diverse and inclusive workforce. The State of Utah, is vast, but sparsely populated outside the Salt Lake City metropolitan area. More than 96% of our nearly 85,000 square miles is designated rural (<100 people/square mile) or frontier (<7 people/square mile). The Salt Lake City area is home to the Hunsman Cancer Institute, the only NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center in the region, also noted the limited diversity in the biomedical cancer research workforce. Our primary objective was to increase the number of underrepresented trainees who pursue higher education with the goal of a career in cancer research. PathMaker is a regional, competitive pipeline program that nurtures high school or undergraduate trainees from historically underrepresented backgrounds towards a career in cancer research. Our faculty and staff team collaboratively developed a cohort model curriculum that increased student awareness of research career options; provided academic and professional development, cultural and social support, evolutionary success strategies, active mentorship, and leadership skill development; and fostered an environment of continuous evaluation and improvement. Since pilot program initiation in May 2016, the PathMaker Research Program (PathMaker) has engaged a total of 44 underrepresented trainees in cancer research labs at Huntsman Cancer Institute, the majority still in college. Eleven trainees graduated college: five employed in STEM, one pursuing a PhD in STEM; two in medical school, and three are lost to follow-up. Alumni report high levels of satisfaction with PathMaker and will be followed and supported for academic success. PathMaker is a replicable model to increase diversity and inclusion in the biomedical cancer research workforce.
