DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Achieving Healthy People 2020 goals depends on a competent, creative workforce; research achievements in basic, clinical and translational science; increased understanding, participation, and support of research by the general public; and improved delivery and utilization of health care. Eliminating persistent health disparities requires targeted, culturally appropriate interventions and a diverse workforce. Preparing tomorrow's health care leaders and increasing understanding of health and science by the public both depend on the success of the nation's schools in improving the performance of all students, including minority and low-income students. Meharry Medical College has been a leading producer of disadvantaged minority health professionals, graduating 21% of all practicing African American physicians and dentists as well as 15% of the African American Ph.D.s in the biomedical sciences. The Meharry Health Sciences Leadership Academy will bring the expertise and resources of Meharry into partnership with the Metropolitan Nashville Public Schools (MNPS) to increase the entry of minority and underrepresented high school students into health professions, strengthen secondary school teaching of health sciences, and enhance the understanding of health and health research in the schools and surrounding community. The specific aims are designed to address entry into (Aim 1) and progression through (Aims 2-4) the new Health Sciences Career Academy curriculum being implemented in 4 MNPS high schools. Specific Aim 1: Create a "Healthy People Challenge" event for 9th grade students that will present them with a case study that encompasses elements across the basic science, clinical, translational and health policy spectrum. Students will collaborate to develop innovative proposals to address issues raised by the case while exploring a broad range of health careers. Specific Aim 2: Design and implement a Summer Workshop for Health Sciences Career Academy Teaching Teams (English, Math, Science, and Health Sciences teachers) that will increase their understanding of specific diseases, biomedical research, health careers, and health policy, emphasize the interdisciplinary and cooperative aspects of both research and the teaching teams, and assist the teachers in developing innovative content to increase motivation and competency of their students; Specific Aim 3: Develop collaborative Community Health Awareness and Screening Events that will allow health career students to demonstrate their competencies alongside Meharry medical students and practicing physicians while providing the students' communities with health screenings, health education, and information on health research; 4) Top-to-Bottom: Media Workshop exploring health occupations will bring health sciences and media students to the Meharry campus for three weeks in the summer under the direction of a media teacher to create audio and video materials to support the other three projects. These will include profiles of individuals in a variety of health professions, featuring the experiences of Meharry's diverse workforce.

描述(由申请者提供)：实现2020年健康人目标有赖于一支有能力和创造性的劳动力队伍；基础、临床和翻译科学方面的研究成就；公众对研究的更多理解、参与和支持；以及改善医疗保健的提供和利用。消除持续的健康差距需要有针对性的、文化上适当的干预措施和多样化的劳动力队伍。培养未来的医疗保健领导者，增加公众对健康和科学的理解，都取决于国家学校能否成功地提高所有学生的表现，包括少数族裔和低收入学生。梅哈里医学院一直是弱势少数族裔卫生专业人员的主要生产者，21%的非洲裔美国医生和牙医以及15%的非洲裔美国人博士毕业于生物医学科学。Meharry健康科学领导学院将把Meharry的专业知识和资源与大都会纳什维尔公立学校(MNPs)合作，以增加少数族裔和代表性不足的高中生进入医疗专业，加强中学的健康科学教学，并增强学校和周围社区对健康和健康研究的了解。具体目标旨在解决进入(目标1)和通过(目标2-4)新的健康科学职业学院课程的问题，该课程正在4所MNPs高中实施。具体目标1：为九年级学生创建“健康人挑战”活动，向他们展示涵盖基础科学、临床、翻译和卫生政策范围的要素的案例研究。学生们将合作开发创新的建议，以解决案例提出的问题，同时探索广泛的健康职业。具体目标2：为健康科学职业学院教学团队(英语、数学、科学和健康科学教师)设计和实施夏季讲习班，将增加他们对具体疾病、生物医学研究、健康职业和健康政策的了解，强调研究和教学团队的跨学科和合作方面，并协助教师开发创新内容，以提高学生的动机和能力；具体目标3：发展协作的社区健康意识和筛查活动，使健康职业学生能够与Meharry医学生和执业医生一起展示他们的能力，同时为学生社区提供健康筛查、健康教育和健康研究信息；4)自上而下：探索健康职业的媒体工作坊将在一名媒体教师的指导下，在夏季将健康科学和媒体专业的学生带到Meharry校园，为期三周，制作音频和视频材料，以支持其他三个项目。这些将包括各种健康职业的个人概况，展示Meharry多样化劳动力的经历。
