To enhance diversity of applicants to University of Oklahoma College of Medicine, a Summer Medical Program for High School Students was started in 2009. This comprehensive pipeline program included sessions on applying to medical school, interaction with a panel of minority physicians and health care professionals role models, clinically oriented didactics taught by physician faculty, shadowing experiences in clinics and hospitals, and presentation of student research reports. Students' assessments in 2009 showed increased understanding of the medical school application process, the medical curriculum and the medical field, and an increase in students'likeliness to choose a medical career. Importance of long-term mentoring and follow-up with students to sustain their medical interests is discussed.
为了增加俄克拉荷马大学医学院申请者的多样性，2009年启动了一个高中生暑期医学项目。这个全面的衔接项目包括关于申请医学院的课程、与少数族裔医生和医疗保健专业榜样小组的互动、由医师教员讲授的临床导向教学、在诊所和医院的见习经历以及学生研究报告的展示。2009年学生的评估显示，他们对医学院申请过程、医学课程和医学领域的理解有所增加，并且选择医学职业的可能性也有所提高。文中还讨论了对学生进行长期指导和跟进以维持他们医学兴趣的重要性。
