USC/BRAVO SCIENCE PARTNERSHIP

南加州大学医学院和附近的 旧金山布拉沃医学磁石高中(洛杉矶联合学校 区)提出协作示范项目，以：(1)增加 城区学生生物医学科学素养调查 进入医学磁石高中；(2)提高学生入学率 进入卫生行业；及(3)提高认识 生物医学研究的发现和医学伦理学的重要问题 它们与内城社区有关。经过详细的评估后 高中的课程设置、师资需求和资源， 将启动以下计划：(1)加强生物医学科学知识 和教师的研究经验；(2)引入以问题为基础和 将计算机学习策略纳入课程；(3)将 将生物技术和基础实验技术纳入课程；(4) 促进大学和高等院校教师之间的互动 (5)增加学生对生物医学的知识和兴趣 研究和与健康相关的职业。项目产品将包括： 教师发展研讨会、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 包括在此示范项目中的项目将经过严格的评估和 那些被发现在实现项目目标方面最有效的将是 年内向中小学科学教师发放 大洛杉矶和南加州内的其他城市地区。 对生物医学科学和与健康相关的职业的兴趣增加将 使许多教师和学生受益，但关键的焦点将是 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.
