OUTREACH PROGRAM FOR MINORITY SCHOOL STUDENTS & TEACHERS

拟议计划的总体目标是增加 未被充分代表的少数族裔高中生 在学术上准备从事生物医学研究和职业生涯 健康职业。参与的学生将在一个 实验室全职从事解剖学、生物化学、 微生物学、药理学和生理学。 该计划将为少数族裔高中生提供 通过以下方式获得曝光和了解科学职业的机会 在PSM教员的指导下从事积极的研究 成员。这些学生毕业后将在暑期入学。 三年级，并继续下一学年或四年级，直到 他们进入了大学。除了研究体验，每月还有一次- 本学年将提供系列讲座，以揭示 让学生成为不同健康职业的榜样。总计 每届将选出8名学生和2名教师参加 年。这将允许庞塞的六所学校参加 教育学区，在整个计划的三年期间。 将与庞塞的两所高中建立合作伙伴关系 教育区和每所学校的四名学生和一名教师 每年都会被招募参加。在开学的第一周 将举行方案、会议和讲习班，讨论如何使用 科学方法，实验室安全：风险、规则和 规章制度；如何记账；记账；文献 搜索-如何使用图书馆，Medline，进行文献搜索，以及 书目编制.基本实验室技术.车间和使用 研究实验室里的计算机。 在这些讲座中，学生们将被带去参观不同的 实验室，这样他们就可以选择一个实验室来花费剩余的时间 他们在PSM的训练时间。调查人员将被要求给出一个 简要介绍他们的研究情况，并将咨询他们的意见，以便 让学生在适当的环境中进行配对。然后学生们将参与到 与他们各自的主管一起进行研究工作。每月一次， 最好是在周六，学生们会聚在一起讨论。 他们的进展和经验，并出席一个研讨会，由一个应邀的 调查员。在节目结束时，学生们将口头陈述 他们的研究工作，提交一份简短的书面报告，并填写 评估表。届时将举行欢送会， 学生将被颁发证书。

The overall aim of the proposed program is to increase the pool of underrepresented minority high school students who are interested and academically prepared to pursue careers in biomedical research and the health professions. Participating students will spend eight weeks in a laboratory conducting full-time research in Anatomy, Biochemistry, Microbiology, Pharmacology, and Physiology. The program will provide minority high school students with the opportunity to be exposed and become aware of a scientific career by becoming engaged in active research under the direction of a PSM faculty member. The students will be enrolled in the summer as they finish their junior year and continue for the following academic or senior year until they enter College. In addition to the research experience, a monthly- lecture series will be offered during the academic year to expose students to role models and the different health profession. A total of eight students and two teachers will be selected to participate every year. This will allow for the participation of six schools from the Ponce Educational District, throughout the three year duration of the program. Partnerships will be established with two high schools from the Ponce Educational Region and four students and one teacher from each school will be recruited to participate each year. During the first week of the program, conferences and workshops will be held on the Use of the Scientific Method, Safety in the Laboratory: risks, rules, and regulations; How to keep a record book - record keeping; Literature Search - How to use the Library, Medline, make a literature search, and making a bibliography; Basic laboratory techniques - workshop; and Use of Computers in the Research Laboratory. During these lectures, students will be taken to visit the different laboratories, so that they can select a laboratory to spend the remaining time of their training at PSM. Investigators will be asked to give a brief description of their research and will also be consulted, so as to match the student in the proper environment. Students will then engage in research work with their respective supervisors. Once a month, preferably on Saturdays, the students will meet as a group to discuss their progress and experiences, and to attend a seminar, by an invited investigator. At the end of the program, students will present orally their research work, submit a brief written report, and fill out evaluation forms. A farewell get-together will be held, at which time students will be presented with certificates.
