We are considering a 3-week pre-health summer program with the following features:
- 12 motivated, high achieving students (rising sophomores or juniors) interested in a health career
- 2 faculty facilitators from the sciences
- 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
- readings/discussions on humanity in medicine and bioethics
- laboratory experiments with a health emphasis
- possible Fall internship
Questions:
1. Are there local public health issues that can be explored/researched/addressed by a group of motivated students and faculty during a 3 week summer course? 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 to expose students to the different possible 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.
