Minority Summer Research Training Program (MSRTP)

描述（由申请人提供）： 在过去的十年里，威斯康星州的短期培训少数民族学生计划医学院已成功地提供了在健康相关的科学就业机会，以代表性不足的少数群体。全国和全州范围内的招聘/外联活动针对的是来自经认证的学院和大学的高素质候选人，他们代表非洲裔美国人，墨西哥裔美国人，波多黎各人，太平洋岛民和美洲原住民/阿拉斯加夏威夷人。申请人的人数一直超过可用的名额。在该方案中，代表性不足的少数民族受训人员的教育目标是： .在心血管、肺或血液学研究方面的激励培训经验， .发展调查技能的机会，这将有利于学员未来的学习和职业生涯， .生物医学研究的职业信息和教育资源，以帮助受训者准备和有资格进入研究职业，以及 .经验和指导，以培养积极的学习态度。 培训在著名的MCW教师的研究实验室进行，他们是从本科到博士后水平的学生的经验丰富的导师，在麻醉学，心血管，高血压，遗传学，肺病学，肾脏学，神经生物学，生理学，药理学和毒理学，血液肿瘤学，流行病学，细胞生物学和解剖学领域。作为研究团队的全职成员，学员将帮助设计研究方案，收集和解释数据，并学习如何使用生物医学研究设备。学员将花费大约60%的时间在实验室研究活动，15%在图书馆研究和15%的课程，以加强科学知识和完整性。其余10%将用于职业发展、辅导和社交。在课程结束时，每位学员将准备一份摘要并进行10分钟的口头报告，作为他们夏季研究经验的短期产品。从长远来看，鼓励学员和导师继续他们的关系，为潜在的出版物，学术指导，额外的夏季培训和未来的职业发展。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): For the past ten years, the Medical College of Wisconsin's Short-Term Training for Minority Students Program has successfully provided career opportunities in the health-related sciences to underrepresented minority groups. National and state-wide recruitment/outreach is targeted to highly-qualified candidates from accredited colleges and universities, who represent African American, Mexican American, Puerto Rican, Pacific Islanders, and Native American/Alaskan Hawaiian populations. The number of applicants consistently exceeds the number of available slots. The educational objectives for underrepresented minority trainees in this program are to provide: . Stimulating training experiences in cardiovascular, pulmonary or hematologic research, . Opportunities to develop investigative skills that will benefit trainees' future learning and career endeavors, . Career information in biomedical research and educational resources to help trainees prepare and qualify for entry into research careers, and . Experiences and mentoring to foster positive attitudes toward learning. Training is conducted in the research laboratories of renowned MCW faculty, who are experienced preceptors of students from the undergraduate to post-doctoral levels, in the areas of anesthesiology, cardiovascular, hypertension, genetics, pulmonology, nephrology, neurobiology, physiology, pharmacology and toxicology, hematology-oncology, epidemiology, cellular biology and anatomy. As active, full-time members of the research team, trainees will help design a research protocol, collect and interpret data, and learn how to use biomedical research equipment. Trainees will spend approximately 60% of their time in laboratory research activities, 15% in library research and 15% in courses to strengthen scientific knowledge and integrity. The remaining 10% will be devoted to career development, mentoring and socialization. At the conclusion of the program, each trainee will prepare an abstract and deliver a 10-minute oral presentation, as a short-term product of their summer research experience. In the long-term, trainees and preceptors are encouraged to continue their relationships for potential publications, academic guidance, and additional summer training and future career development.
