Minority Summer Research Training Program (MSRTP)

描述(由申请人提供)： 在过去的十年里，威斯康星医学院的少数民族学生短期培训计划成功地为代表不足的少数民族群体提供了与健康相关的科学领域的职业机会。全国和全州范围的招聘/外联针对的是来自经认证的学院和大学的高资质候选人，他们代表非裔美国人、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。申请者的人数一直超过了可供选择的名额。这项计划为代表不足的少数族裔学员提供的教育目标是： 。心血管、肺部或血液学研究方面的激励性培训经验， 。发展调查技能的机会，这将有利于学员未来的学习和职业努力， 。生物医学研究的职业信息和教育资源，以帮助受训者为进入研究职业做准备并获得资格，以及 。经验和指导，以培养积极的学习态度。 培训在麻省理工学院著名教员的研究实验室进行，他们是从本科生到博士后水平的经验丰富的学生导师，涉及麻醉学、心血管、高血压、遗传学、肺病学、肾病学、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等领域。作为研究团队中活跃的全职成员，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。学员将把大约60%的时间用于实验室研究活动，15%用于图书馆研究，15%用于加强科学知识和诚信的课程。剩下的10%将用于职业发展、指导和社交。在项目结束时，每位学员将准备一份摘要，并发表10分钟的口头陈述，作为他们暑期研究经验的短期成果。从长远来看，鼓励实习生和讲师继续他们的关系，以获得潜在的出版物、学术指导、额外的暑期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.
