摘要 波士顿大学医学院毕业后研究的终极目标 教育计划(BU Prep)旨在提供一个提高个人和 科学领域中的城市轨道交通的科学发展。BU Prep将通过以下方式解决这些目标 高质量生物医学博士研究生培养中合格的URM数量不断增加 程序。此外，BUSM认识到有必要在所有级别增加多样性 机构和BU-Prep学者将通过继续波士顿大学的 支持一个充满活力和多样化的社区的传统。BU Prep将利用这些资源 由BUSM和医学科学部提供，包括杰出的教师，国家- 艺术研究核心和现有的支持性研究和学术基础设施 每年为6名BU预科学员提供个性化的学习计划。申请者将是 从一群被吸引到该项目的代表不足的学者中招募 在全国会议和与大学建立联系时进行外联，这些大学的比例很高 URM学生，参加我们暑期研究项目但需要 在申请研究生院和申请博士学位的个人之前再申请一年。 计划，但没有被接受。BU预科学者的优势和劣势将是 评估并在指导团队的指导下，制定一项学习计划，解决潜在的问题 他们在博士入学申请中的弱点。此外，强大的研究经验 和发展专业技能，包括实验室技能、批判性思维、手稿和补助金 将强调写作、演示技能和自我评估技能。学者们将进入 六月份的课程和夏秋季的重点是学术支持和活动，包括， 课程工作、辅导、写作和面试研讨会，将增加他们的申请 培训计划。今年下半年的重点将是研究技能。在整个过程中 课程将强调职业发展和职业选择。结果包括所有 BU-Prep学者向研究生院提交竞争性申请，至少75%，如果 不是更高，他们中的一些人将被研究生课程录取。

SUMMARY The ultimate goal of Boston University School of Medicine Post-Baccalaureate Research Education Program (BU PREP) is to provide an environment that enhances personal and scientific development for URMs in the sciences. BU PREP will address these aims by increasing numbers of qualified URM in high quality biomedical Ph.D. graduate training programs. Furthermore, BUSM recognizes the need to increase diversity at all levels of the institution and BU-PREP scholars will have a positive impact by continuing Boston University's tradition of supporting a vibrant and diverse community. BU PREP will utilize the resources provided by BUSM and the Division of Medical Sciences, including outstanding faculty, state-of- the art research cores and an existing supportive research and academic infrastructure to provide individualize learning plans for six BU PREP participants per year. Applicants will be recruited from a pool of underrepresented scholars who are attracted to the program by outreach at national meetings and networking with Universities that have a high percentage of URM students, students who participated in our summer research programs but need an additional year before applying to graduate schools and individuals that applied to our Ph.D. programs but were not accepted. BU PREP scholars' strengths and weaknesses will be assessed and, with the guidance of mentoring teams, a learning plan will address potential weaknesses in their PhD admissions applications. Furthermore, a strong research experience and development of professional skills, including lab skills, critical thinking, manuscript and grant writing, presentation skills and self-assessment skills will be emphasized. Scholars will enter the program in June with the summer and fall focused on academic support and activities, including, course work, tutoring and writing and interview workshops that will augment their application for training programs. The second part of the year will focus on research skills. Throughout the program professional development and career options will be emphasized. Outcomes include all BU-PREP scholars submitting competitive applications to graduate schools with at least 75%, if not higher, of them to be accepted into graduate programs.
