Biomedical Science Training and Enrichment Program (BioSTEP) BioSTEP provides intensive, short-term summer research training for undergraduates, especially students from groups underrepresented in biomedical sciences at research-intensive universities. Trainees conduct research for ten weeks at Yale University in laboratories and present their research findings orally or in poster format at the end of the program. The program offers weekly workshops on topics relevant to biomedical science and weekly luncheon seminars with Yale University faculty. Students gain an in-depth view of the lives, careers, and scientific expertise of Yale University's physician-scientists. Participants also meet with admissions representatives of the medical school and graduate school admissions offices. BioSTEP students have numerous opportunities to meet and socialize each other as well as with current Yale University students. Program coordinators organize weekend day trips and evening events for BioSTEP students to enjoy the beaches, cities, and scenery of New England. Each participant receives a stipend and housing at no cost. Travel to and from New Haven is fully paid for or reimbursed.

Students will participate in collaborative research projects taking place in both Yale University and Southern Connecticut State University laboratories. Fellows become part of an interdisciplinary research team working together with University faculty and graduate students. Each interdisciplinary team consists of a network of researchers with diverse backgrounds in engineering, physics, applied physics, chemistry, and industry, researching a topic of common interest in Materials Science.

The academic program provides ways of thinking about and enacting a wide range of teaching approaches through an intense combination of theory and clinical teaching experience. In particular we seek to generate a deeper understanding of content, build a developmental understanding of students incorporating new understandings of the work of cognitive and social psychology, support an emergent interdisciplinary analysis of the social context of teaching, develop a wide range of instructional strategies for urban adolescents, and promote effective problem solving for learning. The Yale Urban Teaching Corps is looking for candidates who possess a relentless commitment to the academic achievement of urban students along with the disposition to build trusting relationships. While some candidates will possess previous teaching experience, others will come with a new interest in education and a commitment to New Haven. All participants also receive a Yale Urban Teaching Corps Fellowship, which provides a full-tuition scholarship and stipend in return for committing to teach in a New Haven Public middle or high school for three years after graduation. Info: www.yale.edu/urbanteaching Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) SURF is an eight-week program meant to familiarize students completing their sophomore or junior year with the kind of work they can expect to do in graduate school. Students are immersed in an academic, professional setting involving a working relationship with a faculty mentor, a program of individual research, and participation in a series of program workshops and panel discussions. All students give a final presentation to their peers, submit a written paper and attend the Leadership Alliance Conference to present their research at the meeting. The program is particularly interested in identifying and providing research experience to talented underrepresented minority students, but all students may apply. Students are housed at no cost and meals are provided. Students also receive a stipend upon successful participation in the program. Travel to and from New Haven is covered. Info: www.yale.edu/graduateschool/diversity/surf.html The Yale Summer Medical and Dental Education Program (SMDEP) Yale SMDEP is a six-week intensive summer program for highly motivated first and second year college students who are considering a career in medicine. This program exposes students to an academic and learning environment very similar to what they would encounter as a first-year medical student at Yale University School of Medicine. In both classroom and seminar settings, teachers cover topics in basic and clinical sciences as well as highly individualized instruction in writing and communication skills. The SMDEP program does not offer MCAT preparation or review. Yale SMDEP has five primary components, Science modules, Writing and communication class, Clinical Exposure, Career planning and guidance and Biomedicine in the 21st Century. Through organized and informal social activities, SMDEP students develop a new network of relationships and experiences that are remembered and valued for years.
