Consequently, a consensus is building around the need to reform undergraduate life sciences education [1–3]. Students need to embrace scientifi c discovery directly, make connections across an otherwise diverse...
متن کاملAn entrepreneurial training model to enhance undergraduate training in biomedical research
Background Undergraduate students who are interested in biomedical research typically work on a faculty member's research project, conduct one distinct task (e.g., running gels), and, step by step, enhance their skills. This "apprenticeship" model has been helpful in training many distinguished scientists over the years, but it has several potential drawbacks. For example, the students have lim...
