Abstract

PROBLEM

Medical students from groups that are underrepresented in medicine are less likely to pursue careers that incorporate research as compared to their white peers. Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA)-funded institutions encouraged centers to establish short-term, mentored summer research opportunities to motivate students underrepresented in medicine to enroll in medical school and ideally choose a career that incorporates research into their clinical practice.

APPROACH

The Mentored Experience To Enhance Opportunities in Research (METEOR) Program was established in 2012 in partnership with the Clinical and Translational Science Institute at Children's National (CTSI-CN) and The George Washington University (GW) School of Medicine and Health Sciences. Rather than a single summer experience, the METEOR Program is innovative in that it is intended to support the success of participants throughout the duration of their medical school training and beyond.

OUTCOMES

Scholarly output of participants of the first four cohorts included 23 empirical research articles in peer-reviewed journals, five review articles, eight case reports, one empirical research article in a student-led journal, one commentary in a professional journal, 20 university-based poster presentations, three national poster presentations, and one international poster presentation. Interviews revealed themes aligned with constructs of the Social Cognitive Career Theory. Overall mentorship was seen as a key component of the METEOR Program. In addition, the ability to come to campus prior to the start of medical school, as part of a cohesive cohort, along with the addition of lectures and field trips, further enhanced participants' experiences.

NEXT STEPS

Our findings will be incorporated into improvements to the program for future cohorts and may inform the design of similar mentored research programs. With increased enrollment, quantitative studies of the effectiveness of the program are planned.

摘要

问题

与白人同龄人相比，来自医学领域代表性不足群体的医学生更不可能从事包含研究的职业。临床与转化科学奖（CTSA）资助的机构鼓励各中心建立短期、有导师指导的暑期研究机会，以激励医学领域代表性不足的学生入读医学院，并理想地选择将研究纳入其临床实践的职业。

方法

“增强研究机会的导师经验（METEOR）计划”于 2012 年与儿童国家临床与转化科学研究所（CTSI-CN）和乔治华盛顿大学（GW）医学院和健康科学学院合作成立。与单一的暑期体验不同，METEOR 计划具有创新性，旨在支持参与者在整个医学院培训期间及以后的成功。

结果

前四批参与者的学术成果包括 23 篇同行评议期刊上的实证研究文章、5 篇评论文章、8 篇案例报告、1 篇学生主导期刊上的实证研究文章、1 篇专业期刊上的评论、20 篇大学海报展示、3 项全国海报展示和 1 项国际海报展示。访谈揭示了与社会认知职业理论结构一致的主题。总体而言，指导被视为 METEOR 计划的关键组成部分。此外，作为一个凝聚力群体，在医学院开始之前提前到校的能力，以及讲座和实地考察的增加，进一步增强了参与者的体验。
