Roswell Park Summer Internship Programs in Cancer Sciences and Oncology

描述（由申请人提供）：对于决定他或她未来职业或专业的学生，实习提供了对该领域专业人士生活的重要见解。实习生培养了对专业实践的认识，掌握了技能和方法，在大多数情况下，还鼓励他们继续在该领域学习。癌症实习 随着我国人口老龄化和癌症对医疗保健的影响不断增加，研究对鼓励更多的科学家和临床医生关注癌症以满足我们日益增长的需求的目标越来越重要。凭借61年的经验，罗斯威尔公园夏季研究体验项目在肿瘤学和癌症科学将继续提供暑期实习上升大学毕业生（10周）和上升的第二年医学，牙科和医生助理学生（8周）。它的目标是告知学生关于临床和研究职业的决定，激励他们从事癌症研究，并为他们提供必要的研究和沟通技能。每个实习生都与医生或科学家相匹配，在导师的诊所或实验室工作，探索职业和工作环境的需求，为正在进行的研究或临床操作做出贡献，并通过口头和海报演示报告他们的结果。这些实习发生在NIH指定的综合癌症中心的独特环境中，临床和研究操作紧密交织在转化研究的结构中。实习生将通过教师演示和卫生专业与大学队列组之间的近同行指导计划，专门探索基础，人口，转化和临床试验研究的连续进展。在从癌症医生和研究人员中代表性不足的群体中招募实习生的策略中，与霍华德大学（一所领先的历史上的黑人学院/大学）建立了创新的合作伙伴关系，为大二和大三的荣誉学生提供远程指导，指导他们的阅读课程。罗斯韦尔公园教师，博士后学员和研究生将电话会议与他们的霍华德荣誉学生每两周讨论主要的科学文献。这个试点实习前远程指导计划将允许霍华德的学生到达他们的罗斯韦尔公园暑期实习已经研究了他们的导师的研究领域的文献。暑期研究体验计划的成功将通过鼓励实习生从事生物医学研究的程度来衡量，最好是在癌症领域。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): For a student deciding on his or her future career or specialty, an internship provides critical insights into the lives of professionals in that field. he intern develops an awareness of the professional practices, masters skills and methods, and, in the majority of cases, is further encouraged to continue study in that field. Internships in cancer research are increasing vital to the goal of encouraging greater numbers of scientists and clinicians to focus on cancer to meet our growing need as our nation's population ages and cancer's impact on healthcare continues to increase. With sixty-one years of experience, the Roswell Park Summer Research Experience Programs in Oncology and the Cancer Sciences will continue offering summer internships to rising college seniors (10-weeks) and rising second-year medical, dental, and physician assistant students (8-weeks). Its goals are to inform students' decisions regarding clinical and research careers, motivate them to pursue cancer research, and give them essential research and communication skills. Each intern is matched to a physician or scientist, works in the mentor's clinic or lab, explores the demands of the profession and work environment, contributes to the ongoing research or clinical operations, and reports on their results through oral and poster presentations. These internships occur in the unique environment of an NIH-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center where clinical and research operations are tightly interwoven within the fabric of translational research. Interns wil specifically explore the continuum of progress across basic, population, translational, and clinical trial research through faculty presentations and a program of near-peer mentorship between the health profession and college cohort groups. Among the strategies to recruit interns from groups underrepresented among cancer physicians and researchers, an innovative partnership with Howard University (a leading Historically Black College/University) has been established to provide telementorship to sophomore and junior honors students in their Directed Reading courses. Roswell Park faculty, post-doctoral trainees, and graduate students will teleconference with their Howard honors students bi-weekly to discuss primary scientific literature. This pilot pre-internship telementorship program will allow Howard students to arrive at their Roswell Park summer internship having already studied the literature from their mentor's research area. The success of the Summer Research Experience Programs will be measured by the degree to which interns are encouraged to pursue careers involving biomedical research, optimally in the cancer field.
