BAHEC and BEAMS

For the third summer, Boston University Medical Campus (BUMC) partnered with the Boston Area Health Education Center (BAHEC) to bring the summer programming of the Boston Education, Advising & Mentoring in STEM (BEAMS) Program, which provides learning experiences for Boston-area high-school students in order to offer them exposure to various careers in medicine and health care.

One new seminar course this summer was Exposure to Research, taught by Taylor Matte, a graduate student at the Center for Regenerative Medicine.

In one of the field placement programs, Exposure to Clinical Careers, students worked with a variety of clinicians and health-care workers that included surgeons, occupational therapists, genetic counselors, and dental health clinicians. Highlights included a lecture by Dr. Ann McKee and a visit to the National Emerging Infectious Diseases Laboratories (NEIDL).
