Biomedical Science and Engineering Summer School

这个夏季研究计划将在康涅狄格大学健康中心（UCHC）培训和指导代表性不足的少数民族学生，开展涉及骨科和颅面组织的生物材料，干细胞和组织工程战略开发的跨学科研究项目。该计划旨在提供实践研究经验，并指导学生科学写作，专业发展和一般沟通技巧。培训的独特结构将允许本科学员了解医学/牙科学校，同时在导师的指导下获得研究培训。首席研究员在培训和指导代表性不足的少数民族学生方面有着成功的记录，并且在UCHC拥有优秀的资源，这将有助于该计划取得成功。 通过研究培训和指导，该计划将使并鼓励URM学生追求生物医学科学，生物医学工程，医生和医生科学家的职业生涯，从长远来看，这可以帮助解决生物医学科学/工程及相关领域的劳动力多样性问题。

This summer research program will train and mentor underrepresented minority students at the University of Connecticut Health Center (UCHC) in interdisciplinary research projects involving biomaterials, stem cells and tissue engineering strategy development for orthopedic as well as craniofacial tissues. The program is designed to provide hands-on research experience and will mentor students in scientific writing, professional development, and general communication skills. The unique structure of the training will allow undergraduate mentees to learn about medical/dental school, while obtaining research training under the guidance of a mentor. The principal investigator has a successful track record of training and mentoring underrepresented minority students and has excellent resources available to him at UCHC that would help the program to be successful. Through research training and mentoring, the program would enable and encourage URM students to pursue biomedical science, biomedical engineering, and physician and physician scientist careers, which in the long-term could help address workforce diversity issues in the biomedical science/engineering and related fields.
