2005 SUMMER MEDICAL EDUCATION PROGRAM
- http://www.aamc.org/students/considering/smep/start.htm
Summer Medical Education The Summer Medical Education Program (SMEP),
formerly the Minority Medical Education Program (MMEP), has a long and
distinguished history (PDF, 3 pages - 67KB) as a national academic
enrichment program that helps promising, highly motivated students gain
admission to medical school. SMEP prepares students for the competitive medical
school admission process. Of all the SMEP graduates who have applied to medical
school, 63% have been accepted.
Created in 1988, and funded by The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the summer program accepts college undergraduate and post-baccalaureate students who are interested in careers in the health professions. SMEP is committed to helping create a well-trained, diverse physician and health-professions workforce. It is intended for students who are strong advocates for diversity and/or come from groups that are underrepresented in medicine. For instance, applicants may come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, racial and ethnic groups that historically have been underrepresented in medicine, or parts of the country (such as rural areas) where residents historically have been underrepresented in medicine. All students with a commitment to diversity in the workforce--in the widest and most inclusive sense of the word--are welcome in SMEP.
SMEP is a free (full tuition, housing, and meals) six-week summer medical school preparatory program offering eligible students intensive and personalized medical school preparation. A well-established and well-respected national academic enrichment program, SMEP is located at eleven medical school sites around the country.

Summer Student Fellowships
are awarded to undergraduate students completing their junior or senior year at
colleges or universities, studying in any of the fields of science or
engineering with at least a tentative interest in the ocean sciences,
oceanographic engineering, mathematics, or marine policy. Fellowships are
awarded to pursue an independent research project under the guidance of a
member of the Scientific or Senior Technical Staff. These projects typically
are suggested by the advisor, and are agreed upon jointly by fellow and
advisor. Through this program of Summer Fellowship grants, Woods Hole
Oceanographic Institution's (WHOI) aim is to give a promising group of science
and engineering students experience, which will assist
them in determining whether they wish to devote careers to the study of the
oceans.
WHOI cannot offer formal
academic credit toward degree requirements for participation in the Summer
Student Fellowship Program; although, such credit has often been awarded by the
student's own college or university. The program has been very popular and,
consequently, very competitive, with an average of about ten to fifteen percent
of the applicants receiving awards. This program is made possible through the
generosity of friends of the Institution and grants from the National Science
Foundation Research Experience for Undergraduates Program.
Fellows are selected on a competitive basis, with final decisions based on the
applicant's previous academic and scientific achievements and promise as future
ocean scientists or ocean engineers. Important consideration is given to
matching each fellow with an appropriate advisor on the Research Staff. The
advisor helps the student select and pursue a research project that can provide
meaningful results in one summer's work. Fellows are not required to take any
prescribed courses, nor are they required to provide any services to the
Institution in return for the summer grant. At the end of the summer, each fellow
is expected to prepare a written report describing his or her research and to
make a public oral presentation of his or her results. Fellows have an
excellent opportunity to select and pursue a research problem of their own with
access to more than two hundred practicing research scientists and engineers
and to the facilities of a major oceanographic institution. In addition,
fellows are welcome to participate in the busy summer schedule of seminars and
colloquia in the Woods Hole scientific community, which provides an excellent
introduction to the many facets of marine science.
Summer Student Fellowships are awarded to undergraduate students who have
completed their junior or senior year at colleges or universities studying in
any of the fields of science or engineering including but not limited to the
fields of biology, chemistry, engineering, geology, geophysics, mathematics,
meteorology, physics, oceanography, and marine policy. Students must have at
least a tentative interest in the ocean sciences, oceanographic engineering,
mathematics, or marine policy. Women and persons from under represented groups
are encouraged to apply.
Summer Student Fellowship awards for the summer of 2005 carry a stipend of $396
per week for a ten- to twelve-week program. Additional support may be provided
for travel.
Institution housing is available for rental by fellowship recipients.

Students attend classes each day and receive course grades and an evaluation of
individual progress at the conclusion of the program.
We have established a mentor program in which current
Courses/Curriculum
- Policy Analysis
The Policy Analysis course begins with an introduction to the field of policy analysis. Subsequent weeks will focus on important policy topics, including international and domestic issues, such as health care policy, crime and drug policy, economic development, education and welfare policy, and telecommunications policy. - Economic
The Economics course is designed to give students an introduction to standard topics in economics. Particular attention is placed on market efficiency, welfare economics, and the economic rationale of government. A major goal of the course is to foster the ability among students to apply economic reasoning to the analysis of public policy. Applications may include, for instance, the effect of sales or excise taxes, antitrust and merger policy, labor market discrimination, and issues concerning government programs of income redistribution. - Quantitative Methods
The purpose of this introductory course is to make the tools of data analysis accessible to students and to prepare them for graduate level statistics. Students learn how to perform statistical analysis and to use the statistical analysis capabilities Microsoft Excel. - Communication Skills
Good communication skills, i.e. writing and speaking, are absolutely essential for success in a public policy graduate program. Students will meet weekly with our communications faculty to prepare policy memos and position papers and to strengthen their writing and speaking skills.

seminar" during which they will be introduced to career opportunities and
professional issues in the social sciences. Topics include getting published in
the scholarly literature, searching for and getting research jobs, translating
social science findings into pubic policy, and ethical standards in population
research.
REU students live and dine together in an
air-conditioned UT dormitory. Their registration will provide them with access
to all UT sports and recreation facilities, shuttle bus and Capital Metro
transportation, and a wide range of entertainment events in the
The program pays for tuition, room and board,
computer expenses, books, and some travel. Students also receive a $2,500
stipend for participation in the program.
Who is eligible to be an REU student?
Applicants should have completed requirements for
sophomore or junior standing. Preference is given to applications from those
with junior standing and/or those who declare sociology as a major or are
participating in a social science honors program at their home institution.
Participants may be nominated by any knowledgeable person, and self-nominations
are welcome, but we are particularly interested in referrals from faculty
members.

Demography, in general, is the study of how and why populations change. The
population under study may include college students in
The Institute is for students who want to acquire knowledge and skills that will enable them to engage in this type of demographic analysis. Such skills are in demand increasingly in academic, corporate, and governmental settings. This program may also benefit students whose educational goal is an advanced degree in demography or sociology with an emphasis in population studies. Students who choose this program should have an aptitude for mathematics. Depending on your background in mathematics a semester of calculus is desirable, but not absolutely essential. Students should also be familiar with economics.
The summer program will consist of participation in an introductory course
taught at a graduate school level. Students will be expected to complete a
research project at the culmination of this 6-week program. This year's summer
program will be held from
The summer program is aimed at students who have completed their junior year; however, all applicants
will be considered. The summer program includes a stipend of $1,600, room and
board, and travel costs. Students reside together in one of the college houses
at the
The summer program is open all to applicants and, in particular, invites
applications from groups traditionally under-represented in demography, i.e.,
Native American Indian, African American, Hispanic,
Native Alaskan (Eskimo or Aleut), or Native Pacific Islander (Polynesian or
Micronesian).
Interested students should submit an SIDR application, letter of interest, resume, two letters of recommendation, and an official transcript to:

Summer Program and
Minority Scholarship Program

Starting
in the summer of 2004 - and with preparations already underway - |
|
|
|
Now in its 31st year, the AEA Summer Program seeks to prepare talented undergraduates for doctoral programs in Economics and related disciplines, by offering a unique opportunity for students to gain technical skills in Economics, and conduct research with prominent faculty. The Minority Scholarship Program offers scholarships for minority students who wish to participate in the Summer Program. The scholarship’s purpose is to increase the number of African-Americans, Hispanics, and Native Americans with doctorates in Economics. |
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
Although
roughly 12% of Bachelor’s degrees in Economics are earned by African
Americans, Hispanics, and Native Americans, only about 5% of recent Economics
doctorates received by US citizens have been earned by minorities. This
number is in fact a significant improvement, though, attesting to the Summer
Program’s past success: as of 1995, only 3% of all |

The Summer Program itself is an exceptionally demanding one. Designed to be taken for either one or two summers, it provides courses in economic theory, mathematics, statistics, and econometrics, as well as research seminars intended to acquaint students with pressing issues and methods of analysis. |
|
|
|
|
|
Program participants are expected to have completed at least two years of undergraduate study (including substantial mathematics), but many participants are presently working, and some currently are in Master’s programs in Economics or related disciplines. Duke and NC A&T will also work with talented students who need further preparation in mathematics prior to undertaking the program. Participants must apply to the program by April 2 (and, for early consideration, by February 2); most of those admitted also will receive funds for books, housing and living expenses, plus a stipend of up to $2500. |

In recent years, the vast majority of the AEA Summer Program participants have entered or are preparing to enter doctoral programs. During the past three years, some 77 students participated (many for two summers). From this group, 27 have already entered doctoral programs, 9 have entered master’s programs with the intention of going on for a doctorate, 15 more are applying or expect to apply to doctoral programs directly, and many more are considering doing so. |

Program and Purpose
The
Research projects and advising are offered under individual faculty sponsorship and will require a full-time commitment on the part of the student (normally 40 hours per week). Students in the humanities and social sciences might serve as research assistants to a faculty member who is engaged in a particular research, editing, bibliographical or course-preparation project. Alternatively, and by mutual arrangement, the student will work on a research paper with the faculty member. In either case, the student will be expected to bring two prior research papers with them to the program for critique, further research and rewriting. Students in the sciences and engineering will normally work in a laboratory group on an aspect of the faculty member's current research.
The student and faculty member should expect to meet weekly to
discuss research design, methods, and progress. The
