TCI Mentored Medical Student Summer Scholars (TCI-MMSSS) Program

我们Tisch癌症研究所(TCI)指导医学生暑期学者(TCI-MMSSS)的目标 该计划旨在通过参与癌症研究来激励医学生从事癌症研究 创新的、高度结构化的研究和互动式课程活动。我们的 该计划建立在夏季指导研究的成功的10周试点计划的基础上 为医学生提供的经验，其中69%的参与者(正在升入二年级的医学生)拥有 已经完成或承诺与他们的导师一起再进行一年的研究。我们的 建议的15周严格指导的研究经验旨在招聘优秀的、高度 激励学生对癌症研究感兴趣，并通过新的教学方法丰富他们，以培养 使用精心设计的癌症研究基础101的创新和培养学习环境 (CRF 101)课程，以促进研究知识、心态和技能。我们的计划利用 包括癌症在内的TCI科学项目的经验丰富的指导能力和科学实力 免疫学(CI)、癌症机制(CM)、癌症临床研究(CCI)、癌症预防和 控制(CPC)，以及我们在健康公平和健康差距研究方面公认的专业知识。我们的 计划还得益于社区在基础、翻译、临床和人口研究方面的卓越表现- 公认的与集水区相关的癌症，包括肝、肺、多发性骨髓瘤、艾滋病毒相关恶性肿瘤和 前列腺癌以及乳腺癌、胃肠道和骨髓增生性肿瘤。我们的节目多PI 领导团队反映了博士前教育和医学生研究方面的互补专业知识，以 确保每个参与TCI-MMSSS的学生都能实现癌症研究的潜力 程序。我们提出了一个全面的评估过程，其中包含了经过验证的工具来评估学生， 导师和整体计划，以实现持续的质量改进，并建议遵循计划 校友在几年内获得纵向结果，以评估癌症研究与医学的整合 事业。

The goal of our Tisch Cancer Institute (TCI) Mentored Medical Student Summer Scholars (TCI-MMSSS) Program is to inspire medical students to pursue careers in cancer research through engagement in an innovative, highly structured program of strongly mentored research and interactive curricular activities. Our program builds upon the foundation of a successful 10 week pilot initiative of a summer mentored research experience for medical students in which 69% of participants (rising second year medical students) have either already completed or have committed to pursuing an additional year of research with their mentors. Our proposed 15 week rigorously mentored research experience is designed to recruit exceptional, and highly motivated students interested in cancer research and enriched by novel pedagogical approaches to foster an innovative and nurturing learning environment using a strategically crafted Cancer Research Fundamental 101 (CRF 101) curriculum to advance research knowledge, mindset and skills. Our program leverages the seasoned mentoring capacity and scientific strengths of the TCI scientific programs including Cancer Immunology (CI), Cancer Mechanisms (CM), Cancer Clinical Investigations (CCI), and Cancer Prevention and Control (CPC), as well as our acknowledged expertise in health equity and health disparities research. Our program is also informed by excellence in basic, translational, clinical and population research in community- recognized catchment-relevant cancers including Liver, Lung, Multiple Myeloma, HIV-related malignancies and Prostate Cancer as well as Breast, Gastrointestinal and Myeloproliferative Neoplasms. Our program Multi-PI Leadership team reflects complementary expertise in pre-doctoral education and medical student research to ensure the realization of potential for cancer research by each student participating in the TCI-MMSSS Program. We propose a holistic valuation process that incorporates validated tools to evaluate students, mentors, and the overall program to achieve continuous quality improvement and propose to follow program alumni over several years to obtain longitudinal outcomes to assess integration of cancer research into medical careers.
