项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY The goal of the Medical Students Summer in Oncology at Anderson Research (Med Students SOAR) program is to provide 25 talented first-year medical students per year with an individualized, hands-on research experience in oncology under the mentorship of our expert faculty, while exposing participants to multidisciplinary cancer care through clinical observations and interprofessional simulation trainings. An increase in knowledge of all areas of oncology will be included in the curricula, as well as career development and networking opportunities. The program objective is to promote careers in cancer research, which is in line with the NCI’s mission to enhance the training of a workforce to meet the nation’s biomedical, behavioral, and clinical research needs. This objective will be accomplished through a formalized 8- to 10-week program at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. MD Anderson, an NCI-designated cancer center that is widely recognized for its outstanding clinical care and number one ranking in awarded NCI grants, is ideally positioned to provide this research experience. Our highly regarded clinical care combined with an emphasis on research makes it an environment unparalleled for mentored research and educational programs. The Program Directors (Marites Melancon, PhD; Vickie Shannon, MD; and Jillian Gunther, MD, PhD) are faculty members with successful research programs and experience in leading education programs. Participating faculty members are not only committed educators but also internationally recognized experts in various fields, spanning basic, translational, and clinical research. Students will be matched with faculty mentors, and they will discuss and decide on the research project prior to the summer. During the summer session, students will complete their projects with structured mentoring and evaluation. Instruction in the Responsible Conduct of Research will be included. Students will also learn about other areas of cancer biology and career development through program lecture series, clinical observation, interprofessional clinical simulation, near-peer mentoring, communication skills workshops, and seminars. The program will culminate in a Summer Experience Final Exposition, in which students present their research project to faculty, students, and staff. Our recruitment plan seeks to attract highly qualified applicants from all racial, ethnic, and gender groups but with increased representation from underrepresented groups based on race, ethnicity, disability, or other social, cultural, or economic disadvantages. Successful implementation of this program will directly address the need to cultivate interest in oncology, and specifically cancer research, early in medical careers in order to recruit and retain future cancer researchers.

项目概要安德森研究中心肿瘤学医学生暑期课程的目标（医学生 SOAR）该计划旨在每年为 25 名才华横溢的一年级医学生提供个性化的实践研究在我们专家教师的指导下获得肿瘤学方面的经验，同时接触多学科通过临床观察和跨专业模拟培训来增加癌症护理知识。肿瘤学所有领域的内容以及职业发展和网络都将包含在课程中该计划的目标是促进癌症研究领域的职业发展，这与 NCI 的目标一致。使命是加强劳动力培训，以满足国家生物医学、行为和临床研究的需要这一目标将通过在大学进行的为期 8 至 10 周的正式课程来实现。位于休斯敦的德克萨斯 MD 安德森癌症中心 (Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center)，是 NCI 指定的广泛癌症中心。因其杰出的临床护理和 NCI 拨款排名第一而受到认可，地理位置优越提供这种研究经验，我们高度重视临床护理并重视研究。使其成为指导研究和教育项目的无与伦比的环境。（Marites Melancon 博士、Vickie Shannon 医学博士和 Jillian Gunther 医学博士、哲学博士）参与的教职人员拥有成功的研究项目和领导教育项目的经验。不仅是忠诚的教育工作者，而且是各个领域国际公认的专家，涵盖基础、学生将与导师进行匹配，他们将进行讨论和研究。在暑期之前决定研究项目，学生将完成他们的研究项目。具有结构化指导和评估指导的项目将是负责任的研究行为。学生还将通过课程了解癌症生物学和职业发展的其他领域。系列讲座、临床观察、跨专业临床模拟、近同伴指导、沟通技能讲习班和研讨会将在夏季体验最终博览会中达到高潮。学生向教师、学生和工作人员展示他们的研究项目。我们的招聘计划旨在高度吸引。来自所有种族、民族和性别群体的合格申请人，但来自以下群体的代表性有所增加由于种族、民族、残疾或其他社会、文化或经济原因而代表性不足的群体该计划的成功实施将直接解决培养兴趣的需要。肿瘤学，特别是癌症研究，在医疗职业的早期进行，以便招募和保留未来的癌症研究人员。
