USC/BRAVO SCIENCE PARTNERSHIP

南加州大学医学院和附近的 弗朗西斯科布拉沃医学磁铁高中（洛杉矶联合学校 区）提出合作示范项目，以：（1）增加 内城学生生物医学科学的科学素养 就读于医学磁铁高中;（2）增加学生的比例 进入卫生专业;（3）提高对 生物医学研究的发现和医学伦理学的重要问题， 他们与市中心社区有关。 经过详细评估后， 课程设置，教师的需求和高中的资源， 计划将启动：（1）提高生物医学科学知识 （2）引入以问题为基础， 将计算机辅助学习策略纳入课程;（3）将 生物技术和基本实验室技术纳入课程;（4） 促进大学和高等教育学院之间的互动 （5）增加学生对生物医学的知识和兴趣 研究和健康相关的专业。 项目产品将包括： 教师发展讲习班，研讨会，实验室手册，课程 材料、培训计划和研究机会。 所有活动 包括在这个示范项目将进行严格的评估， 在实现项目目标方面最有效的方法将是 向小学和中学的科学教师散发， 大洛杉矶和南加州内的其他城市地区。 对生物医学科学和健康相关职业的兴趣增加， 受益于许多教师和学生，但关键的重点将是 市中心的学生

The University of Southern California School of Medicine and the nearby Francisco Bravo Medical Magnet High School (Los Angeles Unified School District) propose a collaborative demonstration project to: (1) increase the scientific literacy in biomedical sciences among inner city students enrolled in a medical magnet high school; (2) augment the rate of students entering into the health professions; and (3) heighten awareness of findings in biomedical research and important issues of medical ethics as they related to the inner city community. Following a detailed assessment of the course offerings, faculty needs and resources of the High School, programs will be initiated to: (1) enhance knowledge of biomedical science and research experience of the teachers; (2) introduce problem-based and computer-based learning strategies into the curricula; (3) incorporate biotechnology and basic laboratory techniques into the curricula; (4) promote interaction among the faculties of the University and the High School; and (5) increase knowledge and interest of students in biomedical research and health-related professions. Project products will include: faculty development workshops, seminars, and laboratory manuals, curricular materials, training programs and research opportunities. All activities included in this demonstration project will undergo critical assessment and those found to be most effective in accomplishing project goals will be disseminated to science teachers in elementary and secondary schools in Greater Los Angeles and other urban areas within Southern California. Increased interest in biomedical sciences and health-related careers will benefit many teachers and students, but the critical focus will be on inner-city students.
