Arizona Biomedical Scientist Development Program

亚利桑那州西班牙裔卓越中心（HCOE）提出亚利桑那州生物医学科学家发展计划的扩展和制度化，这将有助于扩大多元化和文化能力的生物医学学术劳动力，为国家服务。该计划确定了来自不同背景的有才华和有动力的教师和学生，他们在医学学术界表现出成功的潜力。参与者在过渡期内提供结构化的教学，技能建设，专业发展和支持计划，以确保他们的专业成功完成标准医学院课程。少数民族教师和研究生谁完成该计划的主流无缝进入健康科学教师和学生，从而避免任何程序的污名化。亚利桑那州生物医学科学家发展计划的使命是通过建立一个生物医学科学家发展计划，增加亚利桑那大学医学院少数民族生物医学教师，特别是西班牙裔，黑人和美洲印第安人的数量和成功，这将增加高质量和多样化的学术医生和科学家的数量，以满足美国西南部的独特需求。该方案的具体目标包括： 1)到第5年，我们将增加一倍的西班牙裔，黑人和美国印第安人生物医学教师谁成功地过渡到亚利桑那大学医学院教师的数量。 2)到第5年，我们将增加25%的西班牙裔，黑人和美洲印第安人研究生（博士前，博士和博士后）的数量。 我们建议利用捐赠相关的收入来扩大这个非常有前途的计划，这可能最终成为发展多元化学术卫生专业劳动力的国家模式。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Arizona Hispanic Center of Excellence (HCOE) proposes the expansion and institutionalization of Arizona Biomedical Scientist Development Program that will contribute to the expansion of a diverse and culturally competent biomedical academic workforce to serve the nation. This program identifies talented and motivated faculty and students from diverse backgrounds who demonstrate potential for success in medical academia. Participants are provided a structured program of instruction, skills building, professional development and support during a transitional period in order to ensure their professional successful completion of the standard medical school curriculum. Minority faculty and graduate students who complete the program mainstream seamlessly into the health sciences faculty and students and thus avoid any programmatic stigmatization. The mission of the Arizona Biomedical Scientist Development Program is to increase the number and the success of minority biomedical faculty, specifically Hispanic, Black and American Indian individuals, at the University of Arizona College of Medicine through the establishment of a biomedical scientist development program that will increase the number of high quality and diverse academic physicians and scientists to serve the unique needs of the American Southwest. The specific aims of this program include the following: 1) By Year 5, we will double the number of Hispanic, Black and American Indian biomedical faculty who successfully transition into medical school faculty at the University of Arizona. 2) By Year 5, we will increase by 25% the number of Hispanic, Black and American Indian graduate students (pre-doctoral, doctoral, and post-doctoral). We propose to utilize the Endowment related income to expand this very promising program, which may ultimately serve as a national model for the development of a diverse academic health professions workforce.
