DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Southeastern Medical Scientist Symposium (SEMSS) was established in 2010 by students from the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB), Emory University, and Vanderbilt University Medical Scientist Training Programs (MSTPs). The three programs have co-hosted the symposium for three years with the location rotating among Birmingham (2010), Atlanta (2011), and Nashville (2012). The objective of the symposium is to encourage a collaborative and interdisciplinary educational environment within the Southeast region of the United States. This fully student-organized symposium seeks to foster connections between the MD/PhD students at multiple institutions across the Southeast, exposing students to trends, challenges, and opportunities inherent in careers of academic physicians. The program of each SEMSS has included three keynote speaker presentations, multiple topic-specific breakout sessions, MSTP student research poster sessions, and social events. The breakout sessions are divided into sessions of interest to MD/PhD students and undergraduates. The meetings have spanned two days, with content starting in the early afternoon on a Saturday and ending in the early afternoon on Sunday. The target audience for the SEMSS is MD/PhD students in training programs in the southeast and MD students and undergraduate students at southeastern institutions who have an interest in future careers as physician-scientists. An additional purpose of this symposium is to expose undergraduate students to physician-scientist trainees and faculty in order to foster excitement about careers in academic medicine and increase the pipeline of future physician-scientists. We think that this additional focus on undergraduate students from the region is critical to our purpose of enhancing the pipeline of students from backgrounds underrepresented in medicine (URIM), as according to US News and World Report, nine of the top twenty historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) are located in Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, Mississippi, or Louisiana.

描述（由申请人提供）：东南医学科学家研讨会 (SEMSS) 由阿拉巴马大学伯明翰分校 (UAB)、埃默里大学和范德比尔特大学医学科学家培训项目 (MSTP) 的学生于 2010 年成立。这三个项目已连续三年联合主办该研讨会，地点在伯明翰（2010 年）、亚特兰大（2011 年）和纳什维尔（2012 年）之间轮流举办。研讨会的目的是鼓励美国东南部地区建立协作和跨学科的教育环境。这次完全由学生组织的研讨会旨在促进东南部多个机构的医学博士/博士生之间的联系，让学生了解学术医生职业中固有的趋势、挑战和机遇。每个 SEMSS 的计划包括三个主题演讲、多个特定主题的分组会议、MSTP 学生研究海报会议和社交活动。分组会议分为医学博士/博士生和本科生感兴趣的会议。会议持续两天，内容从周六下午早些时候开始，到周日下午早些时候结束。 SEMSS 的目标受众是东南部培训项目的医学博士/博士生以及对未来作为医师科学家的职业感兴趣的东南部机构的医学博士生和本科生。本次研讨会的另一个目的是让本科生接触医师科学家实习生和教师，以激发他们对职业生涯的兴奋感 学术医学并增加未来医师科学家的渠道。我们认为，对来自该地区的本科生的额外关注对于我们加强来自医学领域代表性不足的背景的学生输送管道 (URIM) 的目标至关重要，因为根据《美国新闻与世界报道》，排名前 20 的历史黑人学院和大学 (HBCU) 中有 9 所位于阿拉巴马州、佐治亚州、田纳西州、密西西比州或路易斯安那州。
