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 during a typical day of clinical activities, leadership responsibilities, teaching, and research. 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 Powerpoint presentation to other students in the training program, and will again present their research locally and nationally. The students will also receive instruction and advice from program directors and near-peer mentors in essay writing, test preparation, and critical career development 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. This program was initially funded by the NIH/NHLBI in 2014 and we have had 26 unique students participate in the past 4 summers. Those students were 62% AA, 35% Hispanic or Latino, 58% female, and 31% Disadvantaged. Of the students who were eligible to return for a second PARAdiGM summer, 14/18 returned (78%). Of the PARAdiGM trainees who have completed their undergraduate training, almost all have gone on to be accepted /enrolled in excellent physician-scientist, medical, and/or postbacc/biomedical science masters programs (13/17; 76%), and all have viewed the research experience in our summer program as one of the most valuable components of their training.

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 通过在临床活动、领导责任、 教学和研究。在该计划的第一个夏天结束时，学生将写一个摘要， 参加当地和国家的研究成果展示海报。第二个夏天之后 在该计划中，学生将在培训计划中向其他学生进行Powerpoint演示，并将 再次展示他们在当地和全国的研究成果。学生还将获得指导和建议， 项目主管和近同行导师在论文写作，考试准备，和关键的职业发展 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，这个程序是 最初由NIH/NHLBI在2014年资助，我们有26个独特的学生参加了过去的4年 夏天。这些学生中有62%是AA，35%是西班牙裔或拉丁裔，58%是女性，31%是Disney。的 有资格返回第二个PARAdiGM夏季的学生，14/18返回（78%）。的 完成本科培训的PARAdiGM学员几乎都被录取了 /就读于优秀的医生科学家，医学，和/或postbacc/生物医学科学硕士课程 (13/17; 76%），所有人都认为我们的暑期课程的研究经验是最重要的课程之一。 他们训练的重要组成部分。
