To increase the number of scientists addressing the health disparities issue, the Distance Learning Center (DLC) has developed the Physician Scientist Training Program (PSTP) as a longitudinal vehicle to produce minority biomedical researchers with the M.D./Ph.D. dual degree. Over the last ten years, the DLC has conducted an annual national search for minority "child prodigies" who seek a career in science and medicine, and has begun a class of twenty-five 7th graders on a long-term wet bench research regimen through labs in academia, government and the pharmaceutical industry. Trainees in the 7th and 8th grades engage in six weeks of summer training (classroom-based) at Temple University School of Medicine, Philadelphia; 9th and 10th grade summer training (apprenticeship-based) occurs across ten weeks at Temple University School of Medicine, Philadelphia; 11th grade summer training (internship) occurs across ten weeks at NIH-NIDA, Baltimore; 12th grade summer training (internship) occurs across ten weeks at Genetics Institute, Boston; college freshman summer training (internship) occurs across twelve weeks at the University of Toronto Faculty of Medicine, Toronto; college sophomore summer training (internship) occurs across twelve weeks at McGill University Faculty of Medicine, Montreal; college junior summer training (internship) occurs across twelve weeks at the NIH-NIDDK, Bethesda; college senior summer training (internship) occurs across twelve weeks at Wyeth-Ayerst Pharmaceutical Company, Philadelphia. College trainees are able to partake in school year research stints via NIH Minority Supplements. This grant request will provide the core operating budget for pre-college and college training activities, as well as provide funding for precollege trainees to receive on-line distance learning courses in the biomedical sciences during the school year. The DLC is seeking to funnel most of the PSTP trainees into NIDDK focus areas.

为了增加解决健康差距问题的科学家数量，远程学习中心（DLC）开发了医师科学家培训计划（PSTP），作为培养少数民族医学研究人员的纵向工具。博士双学位在过去的十年里，DLC每年都在全国范围内寻找寻求科学和医学职业的少数民族“神童”，并通过学术界，政府和制药行业的实验室开始了一个由25名7年级学生组成的长期湿板凳研究方案。七年级和八年级的学员参加为期六周的暑期培训。（基于课堂）在坦普尔大学医学院，费城; 9日和10日年级暑期培训（基于学徒制）发生在费城坦普尔大学医学院十周; 11年级暑期培训（实习）发生在为期十周的NIH-NIDA，巴尔的摩; 12年级暑期培训（实习）发生在十个星期的遗传学研究所，波士顿;大学新生暑期培训（实习）在多伦多的多伦多大学医学院进行为期12周的实习;大学二年级的暑期培训（实习）在蒙特利尔麦吉尔大学医学院进行为期12周的实习;大学三年级暑期培训（实习）在贝塞斯达的NIH-NIDDK进行为期12周的实习;大学高级暑期培训（实习）发生在费城Wyeth-Ayerst制药公司的十二周。大学实习生能够通过NIH少数民族补充剂参与学年研究。这项赠款申请将为大学预科和大学培训活动提供核心业务预算，并为大学预科学员提供资金，使其在学年期间接受生物医学科学的在线远程学习课程。DLC正在寻求将大多数PSTP受训人员集中到NIDDK的重点领域。
