The University of Chicago PREP

项目总结 芝加哥大学毕业后研究教育计划(PREP)旨在提供 为来自以下群体的应届大学毕业生开展研究培训和充实活动 生物医学和行为科学，这样他们将更好地准备申请、录取并成功获得博士学位 程序。它基于这样一个概念，即深入指导的研究经验，以及丰富 有助于发展科学家身份的活动，是研究生学习的最佳准备 生物医学科学。在考虑每个参与者的背景和研究兴趣时 挑选导师进行为期一年的基于实验室的研究，导师在以下方面有突出记录 促进生物医学科学家的培训、教育和职业发展。研究心得 与之相辅相成的是一个多层次的技能提升计划，以改善口头和书面交流， 批判性思维和分析，以及合乎道德的决策。这些技能的培训由为期一年的 准备日记俱乐部，许多研讨会，写作课程，伦理课程，学术课程，以及其他 技能提升活动。虽然该计划是高度结构化和逻辑组织的，但它是灵活的，因为 个人发展计划(IDP)是每个学者在其任期内的路线图 芝加哥大学预科。该计划及其组成部分在整个过程中以特定的间隔进行评估 这一年，包括内部和外部评价。最终的成功将由 学者进入博士项目的预科，他们完成博士项目的情况，以及他们的长期成功 作为生物医学科学家。

PROJECT SUMMARY The University of Chicago Post-Baccalaureate Research Education Program (PREP) is designed to provide research training and enrichment activities to recent college graduates from groups underrepresented in the biomedical and behavioral sciences so they will be better prepared to apply, matriculate, and succeed in a PhD program. It is based on the concept that an in-depth mentored research experience, along with enrichment activities that help develop identity as a scientist, is the optimal preparation for graduate studies in the biomedical sciences. The background and research interests of each participant are considered when selecting Mentors for one year of laboratory-based research, with Mentors who have outstanding records of promoting the training, education, and career advancement of biomedical scientists. The research experience is complemented by a multi-tiered skill-enhancement program for improving oral and written communication, critical thinking and analysis, and ethical decision-making. Training in such skills is provided by a year-long PREP Journal Club, numerous workshops, a writing course, an ethics course, academic courses, and other skill-building activities. Although the Program is highly structured and logically organized, it is flexible in that an Individual Development Plan (IDP) serves as the roadmap for each Scholar's course over their tenure in the University of Chicago PREP. The Program and its components are assessed at specific intervals throughout the year, including both internal and external evaluations. The ultimate success will be measured by the matriculation of Scholars into PhD programs, their completion of PhD programs, and their long-term successes as biomedical scientists.
