Undergraduate students who are interested in biomedical research typically work on a faculty member's project, conduct one distinct task (e.g., running gels), and, step by step, enhance their skills. This "apprenticeship" model has been helpful training many distinguished scientists over the years, but it several potential drawbacks. For example, have limited autonomy, and may not understand big picture, which result giving up goals for career. Also, is costly greatly depend single...
Practice-based scholarship in public health addresses community issues. The accredited schools of (SPHs) have played a significant role defining and implementing the multidisciplinary, interprofessional, ecological approach to improving safety communities through academic practice. These addressed challenges raised by Institute Medicine for enhancing academic-practice linkages. Association Schools Public Health (ASPH) established Council Practice Coordinators (Practice Council), whose...

Much is told regarding the need for greater diversity in biomedical research workforce terms of race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status. However, there are few evidence-based models that tested can have significant effects this regard. Thus, a development evaluation innovative may help train more diverse workforce. In study, we provided rationale, conceptual model, preliminary program called “A Student-Centered Entrepreneurship Development (ASCEND)”. This training was designed,...
