HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT RESEARCH APPRENTICE PROGRAM

描述：这个项目的主要目标是：1.准备 中国贫困高中生 生物医学/行为科学和健康专业在大学中的应用 科学教育和健康科学方面的职业；以及2.改善 大学前科学教育，允许小学、中学和高中 学校教师在现代研究中增加知识和技能 工具和技术，并将这些新知识传授给他们的学生。 为了实现这些目标，参与的学生和教师将：1. 完成某一基础科学或临床研究项目 UCHC或退伍军人管理医院(VAH)的实验室 康涅狄格州纽灵顿；2.每周参加生物医学高级主题研讨会 科学或临床研究；以及3.介绍他们的研究结果 在项目结束时，学生们参加了一个座谈会， 教师，研究导师，其他健康中心暑期项目参与者， 以及其他特邀教职员工和管理人员。 参加活动的教师将制定一份学年计划。 将促进教师之间持续关系的活动， 他们的研究导师和健康中心，这将提高水平 大学前科学教育与大学生择业动机的关系 生物医学研究和其他健康专业。学生将参与其中 在医学院赞助的为期八周的系列讲座中。

DESCRIPTION: The primary goals of this program are: 1. to prepare disadvantaged high school students in biomedical/behavioral science and health professions for pursuit of college science education and careers in the health sciences; and 2. to improve pre-college science education by allowing elementary, middle, and high school teachers to increase their knowledge and skills in modern research tools and techniques, and to transfer this new knowledge to their students. To accomplish these goals, participating students and teachers will: 1. complete a research project in one of the basic science or clinical laboratories at the UCHC or the Veterans Administration Hospital (VAH) in Newington, CT; 2. attend weekly seminars on advanced topics in biomedical sciences or clinical research; and 3. present the results of their research at the close of the program in a symposium attended by the students, teachers, research mentors, other Health Center summer program participants, and other invited faculty and administrators. Participating teachers will be expected to develop a plan for academic-year activities which will foster a continued relationship between the teachers, their research mentors, and the Health Center, which will improve the level of pre-college science education and motivation of students for careers in biomedical research and other health professions. Students will participate in an eight-week series of lectures sponsored by the School of Medicine.
