We are considering a 4-week pre-health May program with the following features:
- 12 motivated, high achieving students (rising sophomores or juniors) interested in a health career each session
- 5 faculty facilitators from chemistry, biology, and computer science (2 of which are "on" during a particular session, all of which participate in the planning, development and delivery of content)
- An overarching public health project that will span the entire program, and perhaps include a longitudinal component so that it can be modified for use each year of the grant
- Exposure of the students to a variety of health careers (public and private)
- Readings/discussions on humanity in medicine and bioethics
- Laboratory and field experiments with a health emphasis
- Possible Fall internship component with local health care providers for students that have participated in the May session
- Possible year-round student/faculty work on the public health project (at variable levels of effort)
Questions:
- 1. Are there local public health issues that can be explored/researched/addressed by a group of motivated students and faculty during a 4 week May course, and possibly some on-going effort? This program can be continued over the 4 year timeframe of the grant.
- 2. Are there ways that we can work with local health care providers, public and private, to expose students to the wide variety of careers in health?
Peter's plan:
- In the near future we should generate a written synopsis of each particular program component. This mock 'executive summary' should include: 1) Brief summary, 2) Statement of (educational) outcomes, 3) Mode of assessment, 4) Timeframes, and 4) Preliminary budget.
