ALLEGHENY UNIVERSITY MEDICAL APPRENTICE PROGRAM

满足日益增长的对培训人员的需求是一项全国性的挑战 与生物医学和健康相关的专业和技术人员 职业。弱势学生在生物医学领域的代表性不足 职业，提供了大量可供招聘的可用人才 无论是基础科学还是医学科学。弱势学生获得 生物医学的职业常常受到缺乏职业知识的限制。 道路和接触机会和榜样的机会不足。 宾夕法尼亚和哈内曼大学医学院(MCPHU) 通过制定一项包容性计划来应对这一挑战，该计划名为： 为贫困学生提供健康职业的途径。这一倡议 解决了增加弱势群体参与的目标 医学和生物医学科学。MCPHU提供包容性的专业人员 学生可以在其中发展技能和自信的社区 专业上的成功所必需的。这一倡议扩展到帮助 理科教师对这些学生要有更好的准备，并运用创新 教育技术，如基于问题的学习。这一倡议 目前除费城外，还面向四组学生 地区教师：1)当地初中生，2)当地高中 学生，3)本科生和4)预科学生 医学院。 这项建议专门针对MCPHU的研究计划 教师和处境不利的高中生。这个项目的目标是 是为高中生提供获得访问所需的工具 通过科研到一所专业学校，给教师 理解科学研究并传授这种理解的工具 在学年期间给他们的学生。动手实验室研究 在基础科学实验室中与问题技术相结合 以暑期和学年课程为基础的学习。建议数 该计划针对的是教师和高中生，他们已经 继续参与MCPHU项目，除了教师和 来自大费城地区学校系统的学生。本节目 延续了支持弱势群体的悠久传统 宾夕法尼亚医学院医学和基础科学 和哈内曼大学。

There is a national challenge to meet the increasing need for trained professional and technical individuals in biomedical and health related occupations. Disadvantaged students under-represented in biomedical careers, provide a large pool of available talent that can be recruited in both basic and medical sciences. Disadvantaged students' access to biomedical careers is often restricted by lack of knowledge of career paths and inadequate exposure to opportunities and role models. The Medical College of Pennsylvania and Hahnemann University (MCPHU) has addressed this challenge by developing an inclusive program called: PATHWAYS TO HEALTH CAREERS FOR DISADVANTAGED STUDENTS. This initiative addresses the goal of increasing participation of disadvantaged groups in medicine and biomedical sciences. MCPHU provides an inclusive professional community where students can develop the skills and self-confidence required for professional success. This initiative extends to helping science teachers of these students be better prepared and use innovative educational techniques such as Problem Based Learning. This initiative currently targets four groups of students in addition to Philadelphia area teachers: 1) local middle school students, 2) local high school students, 3) undergraduate college students and 4) pre-matriculates into medical school. This proposal specifically addresses MCPHU's Research Program for Teachers and Disadvantaged High School Students. The goal of this program is to provide high school students with the tools required to gain access to a professional school through scientific research and to give teachers the tools to understand scientific research and impart this understanding to their students during the academic years. Hands-on laboratory research in basic science laboratories is combined with techniques of problem based learning in a summer and academic year program. The proposed program targets teachers and high school students which have been continuously involved in MCPHU programs and in addition to teachers and students from the greater Philadelphia area school system. This program continues a long tradition of support for disadvantaged populations in medicine and the basic sciences by the Medical School of Pennsylvania and Hahnemann University.
