Monday, Oct. 16 Over the next 30 years, less than half of the general population will be non-Hispanic whites, making the United States a majority-minority nation. Despite this, scientists in the U.S. remain a distinctly homogeneous group. Universities play a key role in developing the future biomedical workforce and have invested in initiatives that support biomedical and STEM pipeline programs, training grants, research experiences for undergraduates, faculty development and mentorship. However, progress has been slow. To increase the growth in doctoral degree completion, research and medical institutions must reexamine the approaches used in moving UR students along the biomedical pipeline.<\/p>\n Join us as we discuss tools and best practices in building a more diverse biomedical workforce.<\/p>\n Featured Speakers:<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Attend the first Provost Workshop of the academic year to discuss tools and best practices in building a more diverse biomedical workforce.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12772,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[124,91],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bumc.bu.edu\/camed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50147"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bumc.bu.edu\/camed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bumc.bu.edu\/camed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bumc.bu.edu\/camed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/12772"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bumc.bu.edu\/camed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=50147"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/www.bumc.bu.edu\/camed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50147\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":50235,"href":"https:\/\/www.bumc.bu.edu\/camed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50147\/revisions\/50235"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bumc.bu.edu\/camed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=50147"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bumc.bu.edu\/camed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=50147"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bumc.bu.edu\/camed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=50147"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
