MENTOR: Medical Enrichment Through Opportunities in Research

克莱姆森大学真核病原体创新中心(EPIC)成立于2013年1月，被美国国立卫生研究院指定为生物医学卓越研究中心，站在重要真核病原体生物医学研究的前沿。EPIC通过研究机会丰富医学(MENTOR)计划将为南卡罗来纳大学格林维尔医学院(USCSOM Greenville)的五名医学生提供短期暑期研究奖学金。克莱姆森大学是USCSOM格林维尔的研究合作伙伴，并通过克莱姆森大学卫生研究学院担任格林维尔医院系统的研究管理员。因此，EPIC在为USCSOM Greenville的医学生提供这一研究机会方面具有独特的地位。这项为期八周的计划将提供：(1)全球重要真核病原体领域的实验室研究；(2)指导与有经验的内科科学家的关系；(3)关于用于诊断传染病的先进研究技术和仪器的每周研讨会；以及(4)每周研讨会，提供负责任的研究进行培训。导师计划将是研究员医学院教育的一个有价值的部分，从而帮助研究员为他们的医生或内科科学家的职业生涯做好准备。

The Clemson University Eukaryotic Pathogens Innovations Center (EPIC), founded in January 2013 and designated as a Center of Biomedical Research Excellence by the National Institutes of Health, stands at the forefront of biomedical research on significant eukaryotic pathogens. The EPIC Medical Enrichment Through Opportunities in Research (MEnTOR) program will provide short-term summer research fellowships to five medical students from the University of South Carolina School of Medicine Greenville (USCSOM Greenville). Clemson University is the research partner for USCSOM Greenville and serves as the research administrator for the Greenville Hospital System through the Clemson University School of Health Research. Thus, EPIC is uniquely positioned to provide this research opportunity for medical students at USCSOM Greenville. This eight-week program will deliver: (1) laboratory-based research in the area of globally important eukaryotic pathogens; (2) mentoring relationships with accomplished physician-scientists, (3) weekly workshops on advanced research techniques and instrumentation used to diagnose infectious disease; and (4) weekly workshops providing training in the responsible conduct of research. The MEnTOR program will be a valuable part of the Fellows' medical school education, thus helping to prepare Fellows for their careers as physicians or physician-scientists.
