Preparation for Graduate and Medical Education(PreGAME)Program

这个暑期项目的目标是从不同的， 代表性不足的少数民族背景的科学研究的概念，科学的原则， 实验，数据分析的适当方法，解释，演示和翻译 研究成果的应用，以及在学术医疗中心执业的临床医生。每个学生将 在实验室工作的教师导师谁拥有良好的记录，在指导学生，谁 有一个积极资助的生物医学研究计划，重点是心血管，肺或睡眠医学 来实现这一目标。此外，所有学生将了解学术医疗中心（AMC）的职业生涯 通过在办公室环境中以及在住院查房时跟踪临床研究人员。结束时 在该计划的第一个夏天，学生将写一个摘要，并参加在当地和国家 展示他们的研究成果。在该计划的第二个夏天后，学生将给予5-7分 在培训项目中，我将与其他学生进行一分钟的“粉笔谈话”，并将再次在当地展示他们的研究成果， 全国范围内。学生还将接受作文写作，MCAT准备和关键职业的指导 skills.该计划的最终目标是为本科生提供一个理解和 对生物医学研究过程的欣赏，以鼓励他们从事研究患者的职业 在研究生和医学教育中接受进一步的研究生培训后，

The goal of this summer program is to introduce highly qualified undergraduates from diverse and underrepresented minority backgrounds to the concept of scientific research, the principles of scientific experimentation, the proper methods of data analysis, the interpretation, presentation, and translational applications of research results, and to clinicians who practice at academic medical centers. Each student will work in the laboratory of a faculty mentor who has a proven track record in the mentoring of students and who has an actively funded biomedical research program focusing on cardiovascular, pulmonary or sleep medicine to accomplish this goal. In addition, all students will learn about careers in academic medical centers (AMCs) by shadowing clinician-investigators both in an office setting, as well as on in-patient rounds. At the end of the first summer in the program, the students will write an abstract and participate in both a local and national poster presentation of their research results. After the second summer in the program, students will give a 5-7 minute "chalk-talk" to other students in the training program, and will again present their research locally and nationally. The students will also receive instruction in essay writing, MCAT preparation, and critical career skills. The ultimate goal of the program is to provide undergraduate students with an understanding and appreciation of the biomedical research process so as to encourage them to pursue careers studying patients and their diseases after further postgraduate training in graduate and medical education.
