Promoting Research Opportunities Fully--Prospective Academics Transforming Health

项目摘要 少数民族学生进入医学院似乎是为了追求学术生涯， 与他们的白色人相似（拉丁美洲人）或仅稍微减少（非洲裔美国人）的比例 同行，但较少的健康差距人口（HDP）的学生表示相同的意图 从医学院或住院医生那里毕业。早期的经历似乎强烈地 影响职业选择，早期的负面经历可能对他们特别有害。 少数民族学生学业生涯发展。对少数群体和妇女的多项研究 学生表示，通过适当的指导，学术医学道路变得顺畅， 有针对性的社会支持，以缓解持续的压力，并克服共同和特定背景 障碍。尽管加州大学旧金山分校的地位作为一个卓越的研究机构，和存在的 几个结构良好的研究计划和实习生的机会，加州大学旧金山分校还没有 将其在HDP学生招聘方面的杰出成就转化为大量的 选择学术医学职业的HDP学生。我们建议使用R25（c） 创建创新教育研究计划的机制，PROF-PATH：促进 研究机会充分-前瞻性的学术变革健康。基于社会 认知职业理论，PROF-PATH将为HDP创造新的研究培训机会 来自UCSF四所健康专业学校的学生;提高现有项目的能力 在学术职业道路上全面支持HDP学生;促进早期， 学习成功的研究经验，提高当地的研究能力 教师有效地指导HDP卫生专业学生的研究。这一雄心勃勃 该计划利用UCSF现有的财务，行政和课程资源。

Project Abstract Minority students appear to enter medical school with the intent of pursuing academic careers in similar (Latino) or only slightly reduced (African American) proportions as their white counterparts, yet fewer health disparities population (HDP) students indicate the same intent upon graduation from medical school or residency. Early experiences appear to strongly influence career choices, and early negative experiences may be particularly harmful to the academic career development of minority students. Multiple studies of minority and women students indicate that the academic medicine path is smoothed by appropriate mentoring and targeted social support to ease ongoing stress and overcome common and background-specific hurdles. Despite UCSF's stature as a preeminent research institution, and the existence of several well-structured research programs and opportunities for trainees, UCSF has not yet translated its outstanding success in the recruitment of HDP students into large numbers of HDP students selecting careers in academic medicine. We propose to use this R25 (c) mechanism to create an innovative education research program, PROF-PATH: Promoting Research Opportunities Fully--Prospective Academics Transforming Health. Based on social cognitive career theory, PROF-PATH will create new research training opportunities for HDP students from UCSF's four health professional schools; enhance the ability of existing programs in fully supporting HDP students in an academic career path; promote opportunities for early, entrance into successful research experiences, and increase the capacity of local research faculty to effectively mentor HDP health professional students in research. This ambitious program harnesses existing financial, administrative and curricular resources at UCSF.
