PARTNERSHIPS FOR FUTURE MINORITY HEALTH SCIENTISTS

美国医学院协会(AAMC)代表 全国的126所医学院，它们的教职员工，以及405个专业 教学医院。AAMC长期以来一直致力于 参与增加种族/族裔人数的问题 它的医学院里有少数族裔。最近，科学界， 总的来说，人们对科学的质量越来越警惕 总的来说，由于人口结构的变化，国家的教育， 我国少数民族人口的科学教育质量，在 很特别。我们建议将高中课程与 拥有严格科学课程的大量少数民族入学 并在必要的时候创造新的环境。我们进一步建议创建 这些高中项目、大学和医疗机构之间的合作 学校，使这些教育单位发挥协同作用， 在早期阶段创造的兴奋和能力的基础上发展。 我们还建议将这些地方伙伴关系组织成一个全国性的 健康科学伙伴关系网络，两者都是为了使国家 这些活动的影响，并使成员可以从 其他人的经历。

The Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) represents the nation's 126 medical schools, their faculties, and 405 of its major teaching hospitals. The AAMC has had a long commitment to and involvement in the problem of increasing the number of racial/ethnic minorities in its medical schools. More recently the science community, at large, has become increasingly alarmed about the quality of science education of the nation, in general, and because of demographic shifts, the quality of science education of our nation's minority population, in particular. We propose to identify high school programs with substantial minority enrollments which have rigorous science curricula and create new ones where necessary. We further propose to create partnerships between these high school programs, colleges, and medical schools such that these educational units function synergistically, building on the excitement and competencies created at earlier stages. We further propose to organize these local partnerships into a National Network for Health Science Partnerships, both to multiply the national impact of these activities, and so that members can learn from the experiences of others.
