The Post-Baccalaureate Research Education Program (PREP) at Mount Sinai School of Medicine targets participants from groups that are underrepresented in biomedical research careers. During its first 5 years, Mount Sinai PREP has sent over 70% of the PREP scholars to an excellent array of PhD or MD/PhD programs. Over 90% of those students are progressing well in their doctoral studies and report important contributions of PREP to their success. Social work and educational psychology principles inform strategies used to identify and address gaps or impediments that would otherwise diminish the potential of Mount Sinai PREP scholars to succeed in cutting-edge research careers.
西奈山医学院的本科后研究教育计划(PREP)针对的是生物医学研究职业中代表性不足的群体。在其成立的前 5 年中,西奈山 PREP 已经将超过 70%的 PREP 学者送到了一系列优秀的博士或 MD/PhD 项目中。这些学生中有超过 90%的人在他们的博士研究中进展顺利,并报告 PREP 对他们成功的重要贡献。社会工作和教育心理学原则为识别和解决差距或障碍的策略提供了信息,否则这些差距或障碍将降低西奈山 PREP 学者在前沿研究职业中取得成功的潜力。
