MUSC Post-Baccalaureate Research Education Program

项目总结 南卡罗来纳医科大学(MUSC)的研究生研究教育计划(PREP)是 为期一年的密集生物医学研究、教育和指导经验精心设计，旨在提供 代表不足的少数群体、弱势群体和残疾人有机会获得技能， 习惯和心态与博士培训和终身科学事业的成功和成就感相关。 我们的项目将利用我们已建立的IMSD项目以及我们强大的大学多样性办公室， 公平和包容，提供职业发展和榜样，支持身份发展，如 为我们的学者提供科学家和长期支持系统。MUSC的目标和可衡量的结果 准备：(1)向我们的预备学者介绍生物医学实践界的文化 通过明确的教学和有组织的经验，使他们能够同化和建立他们的身份 科学家。(2)为持续自我评估提供一个安全的环境，引导所有学者在 创建并不断完善自己的个人发展计划，这将指导他们选择 在预科年内及以后的专业和教育活动。(3)提供我们所有的预科学者 有指导的实验室研究项目和口头陈述他们的研究的机会，以获得 要求研究生具备批判性思维和沟通能力，文化资本对 研究生课程。(4)招收所有学者参加地道的博士级别课程，以增强认知和 非认知技能，至少75%的密歇根州立大学预科学生将进入生物医学百强 理科博士或双学位课程。(5)积极发展个性化的长期支持网络 通过向学者介绍MUSC的多位导师，我们的地区预科-国际管理发展学院姐妹机构，以及 国家研究指导网络，确保至少90%的南加州大学预科校友完成博士学位 并在科学生涯中加入劳动大军。(6)收集预先计划的客观和主观结果数据，以便 持续的内部和外部评估和改进方案，发布有效的战略， 并提供培训所有理科研究生的最佳做法。如果成功，美国的生物医学劳动力 明天将更好地反映美国的种族、民族、神经和社会经济多样性，而不是 今天确实如此，这反过来又可能扩大生物医学研究和人类健康的积极影响 随之而来的结果。

PROJECT SUMMARY The Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) Post-baccalaureate Research Education Program (PREP) is an intensive one-year biomedical research, education and mentoring experience carefully designed to provide under-represented minority, disadvantaged, and individuals with disabilities an opportunity to acquire the skills, habits, and mindset associated with success and fulfillment in doctoral training and lifelong scientific careers. Our program will leverage our established IMSD program as well as our robust university Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion to provide professional development and role models that support identity development as scientists and long-term support systems for our scholars. The Goals and Measurable Outcomes of MUSC PREP are to: (1) Introduce our PREP scholars to the culture of the biomedical science community of practice through explicit teaching and structured experiences to enable them to assimilate and build their identities as scientists. (2) Provide a safe environment for continuous self-assessment by guiding all of our scholars in the creation and continual refinement of their own individual development plans that will direct their choice of professional and educational activities during the PREP year and beyond. (3) Provide all of our PREP scholars a mentored laboratory research project and opportunity for oral presentation of their research to acquire the critical thinking and communication skills expected at the graduate level, and cultural capital attractive to graduate programs. (4) Enroll all of our scholars in authentic PhD-level coursework to enhance cognitive and non-cognitive skills such that at least 75% of MUSC PREP scholars will matriculate into a top 100 biomedical science PhD or dual degree program. (5) Actively develop individualized long-term support networks for our scholars by introducing them to multiple mentors at MUSC, our regional PREP-IMSD sister institutions, and the National Research Mentoring Network, ensuring that at least 90% of MUSC PREP alumni will complete the PhD and join the workforce in a scientific career. (6) Collect pre-planned objective and subjective outcome data for continuous internal and external assessment and refinement of the program, publication of effective strategies, and to inform best practices for training all science graduate students. If successful, the biomedical workforce of tomorrow will better reflect the racial, ethnic, neurologic, and socioeconomic diversity of the United States than it does today, which in turn may broaden the positive impact of biomedical research and the human health outcomes that follow from it.
