项目摘要

The CoVID-19 pandemic amplified the stress of existing critical shortages of allied health professionals, especially in rural communities and underserved populations. Careers including clinical laboratory sciences (CLS) and public health information technology (PHIT) are less well promoted as other health professions in K-12 schools, increasing the struggle for professional programs to recruit undergraduate students. Critical needs exist for novel educational programs and training methods that promote and increase interest amongst high students about CLS and PHIT fields. The High School 2 Health Care (HS2HC) program is comprised of a summer program and a dual enrollment course that educates high school students and their teachers about careers in CLS and PHIT, while guiding them in developing hands-on skills that give them the opportunity to experience what these careers would entail. HS2HC aligns with the NIH Research Education Program goal of increasing the number of qualified, trained health professionals to meet the nation’s needs. Our program targets rural communities in West Tennessee where professional health care shortages have been exceptionally damaging and seeks to enhance opportunities in CLS and PHIT for underserved student populations. We will use novel outcomes-based educational approaches that apply project-based learning strategies to real-world social determinants of health scenarios and work-based simulation strategies with real clinical data and samples. A teacher professional development program focused on integration of NGSS and CLS and PHIT content, along with career awareness will also be implemented. A quasi-experimental mixed methods design will be used to assess awareness and knowledge and skills development in CLS and PHIT focus groups, quantitative content analysis from a dual enrollment course and a summer program, and teacher and student interviews will be used to assess effectiveness of the outcomes-based curricular design approach we use to teach interdisciplinary PHIT and CLS content, understand how rural high school students acquire knowledge regarding PHIT and CLS professions using our learning approach, and whether our approach increases student interest and the number of students choosing Career and Technical Education (CTE) and undergraduate pathways in these careers. Our unique population compositions in Lauderdale and McNairy Counties in West Tennessee will provide insight into the impact of cultural and social differences in learning acquisition for CLS and PHIT concepts, thereby allowing us to uniquely tailor our experiences to different community and cultural settings. Through high school and community partnerships, online, and mobile resources we will disseminate educational curricula, materials, and research outcomes to enhance community health-based literacy. We will encourage the addition of our program into the NGSS and CTE standards for Tennessee by communication with educators and policy makers.

COVID-19大流行扩大了盟军卫生专业人员现有关键短缺的压力，特别是在粗糙的社区和服务不足的人群中。包括临床实验室科学在内的职业（CLS）和公共卫生信息技术（PHIT）的推广程度较低，因为其他卫生专业人员 K-12学校，增加了为招募本科生的专业课程的斗争。批判的对于新颖的教育计划和培训方法而存在的需求，这些方法促进和增加了兴趣关于CLS和PHIT领域的高级学生。高中2卫生保健（HS2HC）计划已完成夏季课程和双重入学课程，向高中生及其老师教育 CLS和PHIT的职业，同时指导他们发展动手技能，使他们有机会体验这些职业将需要的东西。 HS2HC与NIH研究教育计划目标保持一致增加了经过合格的，训练有素的卫生专业人员的数量，以满足国家的需求。我们的计划目标是西田纳西州的农村社区，那里的专业医疗保健短缺已有异常破坏，并试图增强CLS的机会和服务不足的学生的机会人群。我们将使用基于成果的新型教育方法来应用基于项目的学习与现实世界中的健康情况和基于工作的仿真策略的策略真实的临床数据和样品。教师专业发展计划的重点是NGSS的整合 CLS和PHIT内容以及职业意识也将实施。准实验混合方法设计将用于评估CLS中的意识，知识和技能的发展， PHIT焦点小组，来自双重入学课程的定量内容分析和夏季计划以及教师和学生访谈将用于评估基于结果的课程设计的有效性我们用来教授跨学科的PHIT和CLS内容的方法，了解高中生的粗糙学生使用我们的学习方法获得有关PHIT和CLS研究的知识，以及我们的方法增加了学生的兴趣以及选择职业和技术教育的学生人数这些职业的（CTE）和本科途径。我们在劳德代尔和西田纳西州的麦克纳里县将洞悉文化和社会差异的影响学习CLS和PHIT概念的获取，从而使我们能够独特地量身定制我们的经验不同的社区和文化环境。通过高中和社区伙伴关系，在线和移动资源我们将传播教育课程，材料和研究成果，以增强基于社区卫生的扫盲。我们将鼓励将我们的程序添加到NGSS和CTE中通过与教育者和政策制定者沟通田纳西州的标准。
