项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The lack of diversity (91.2% White) in the veterinarian-scientist workforce is a very serious concern and impacts the profession’s ability to serve a society undergoing dramatic demographic shifts. Veterinary colleges and professional organizations have put forth significant effort to recruit underrepresented students; however, most efforts target high school students, a time when racial and ethnic disparities are already evident. Meanwhile, young children are ruling out veterinary careers because of a lack of relatable role models. The overall vision of this team is to establish a diverse veterinary workforce by developing a far-reaching, inclusive veterinary STEM ecosystem consisting of US veterinary colleges (28/30 (93%) participating), veterinary work settings (practice, research, industry, government), and community entities serving disadvantaged youth. By working towards this critical vision, See Us-Be Us will be able to meet the goals of the 2014 NIH Physician- Scientist Workforce Working Group and the 2018 Committee on STEM Education of the National Science and Technology Council. As a step toward this vision, See Us-Be Us will provide a supportive role model network and veterinary STEM educational resources to inspire and prepare underrepresented youth to pursue careers in veterinary medicine. This goal will be attained through three specific aims. The focus of Aim 1 is to establish an army of diverse, equity-minded veterinarians who will provide disadvantaged K-4 students direct, supportive veterinary role models. Veterinary medical students will be certified to deliver STEM lessons to children in communities surrounding veterinary colleges, while in school, and then after graduation, will be equipped and supported to continue this effort in their home communities. Aim 2 is focused on developing SuperPower Packs, self-guided veterinary STEM educational experiences that feature underrepresented veterinarians, for disadvantaged children lacking access to direct supportive veterinary role models. Aim 3 develops a Web-based role model networking hub and podcasts, for middle and high school students to learn about relatable veterinary professionals, find specific career information, and take advantage of experiential and mentoring opportunities. Combined, these aims will enhance opportunities for students from underserved communities, beginning in elementary school, to have authentic veterinary STEM experiences while being supported by diverse veterinary role models, as they advance through the educational pipeline. Elementary school teachers will serve as consultants to ensure that educational materials are consistent with Next Generation Science Standards, and will assist in training role models to better communicate the societal impact of their work. The ecosystem will continue to use the successful model of engaging students in STEM activities by communicating the impact of veterinary medical research on public health and animal health challenges. Ultimately, this project will educate and facilitate career exploration and experiential learning opportunities for K-12 students, particularly those from underserved communities, to careers as veterinary scientists.

项目摘要/摘要兽医科学家劳动力中缺乏多样性（91.2％的白人）是一个非常严重的关注点。影响该行业服务于经历巨大人口转变的社会的能力。兽医学院专业组织已经付出了巨大的努力来招募代表性不足的学生；然而，大多数努力针对高中生，这是种族和种族差异已经证明的时期。同时，由于缺乏相关榜样，幼儿正在排除兽医职业。这该团队的总体愿景是通过开发深远的包容性，建立不同的兽医劳动力兽医STEM生态系统由美国兽医学院（28/30（93％）参与），兽医工作设置（实践，研究，工业，政府）和为处境不利的青年服务的社区实体。经过朝着这个批判性愿景努力，请参阅美国 - 我们将能够实现2014年NIH医师的目标 - 科学家劳动力工作组和2018年国家科学的STEM教育委员会和技术委员会。作为朝着这一愿景迈出的一步，请参阅美国将提供一个支持性的榜样网络和兽医STEM教育资源，以激发和准备不足的年轻人从事职业兽医学。这个目标将通过三个特定目标实现。目标的重点是建立一支由潜水员，有股权的兽医组成的军队，将为处境不利的K-4学生指导，支持性兽医榜样。兽医医学生将经过认证，将STEM课程交付给兽医学院周围社区的孩子，在学校，然后毕业后，将是装备和支持，以继续在其家庭社区继续这一努力。 AIM 2专注于发展超级大国包装，自我引导的兽医STEM教育经验，其代表性不足兽医，对于缺乏直接支持兽医榜样的灾难儿童。目标3 开发基于网络的榜样模型网络和播客，供初中和高中生学习关于相关的兽医专业人员，找到特定的职业信息并利用经验和心理机会。这些目标结合在一起，将为服务欠缺的学生增加机会从小学开始的社区，具有真实的兽医经验，同时在通过教育管道前进的过程中，由各种兽医榜样的支持。初级学校老师将担任顾问，以确保教育材料与下一个一代科学标准，并将协助培训榜样，以更好地传达社会影响他们的工作。生态系统将继续使用与学生参与STEM活动的成功模型通过传达兽医医学研究对公共卫生和动物健康挑战的影响。最终，该项目将教育和促进职业探索和经验丰富的学习机会 K-12学生，特别是服务欠缺社区的学生，作为兽医科学家的职业。
