A COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH

IN THE BEGINNING

THERE WAS the

P I M S

THERE WAS

P I M S

Funded by a National Institutes of Health grant,

PIMS was designed to address the need for

physicians in the rural areas of Northwest Florida.

(Part of the University of Florida College of Medicine)

1971-2001

1992-Dr. Myra Hurt established the first advising program services at PIMS

1993- Dr. Hurt hired Mrs. Thesla Anderson to establish an Outreach program

1996 - Dr. Hurt hired Dr. Livingston to supervise both advising and outreach---soon they are combined into one program

2001 -The Florida State University College of Medicine admitted its first class

Outreach and Advising continued

Bridge Program was established

The Florida State University College of

Medicine will educate and develop exemplary

physician who practice patient-centered health

care, discover and advance knowledge, and

are responsive to community needs, especially

through service to elder, rural, minority, and

underserved populations.

Research has shown minority physicians and physicians from rural backgrounds are more likely to practice in underserved population areas.

The following groups should be represented in

the student population:

o Underrepresented Minorities

(African American, Puerto Rican, Mexican American, American Indian)

o Students from Rural or Inner City Backgrounds

o Nontraditional (older, returning) Students

o Students from Disadvantaged Backgrounds

o First generation in college students

Medically underserved population areas are often educationally underserved

Students may not have had the educational background and structured programs to reach their full potential

Students from disadvantaged backgrounds may need encouragement and opportunity

And then there are the numbers: In 2009 there were 42,269 applicants nationally

3,106 African Americans; 3,061 Hispanic or Latino; 1,684 Rural

3,584 Applicants to FSUCOM in 2010 (120 selected) 465 African Americans; 537 Hispanic; 143 Rural

Across Critical Thinking (ACT)

Seek to promote critical thinking about vital issues from an interdisciplinary perspective

Center of Excellence Scholar Program

Designed to educate and train African American students in research methods and participate in basic clinical research

Biomedical Scholars Program Opportunities for high ability students to complete first semester of chemistry

Wayne State University

High School Partnership Program

Provide interventions and support to teachers

Project SEED (Summer Educational Experience for Disadvantage Students)

Selected high school students engage in research projects under the direction of WSU faculty.

Launched in 1991

Designed to increase annual enrollment of Blacks, Mexican American, mainland Puerto Ricans and American Indians in U.S. Medical Schools

Initiative focused on educational pipeline programs

The need for a new and creative way to increase diversity in our medical school

Intervention has to occur early in the educational pipeline

Partnership agreements with universities, secondary schools, and medical schools have to exist

Infrastructure of support

Commitment all stakeholders

Diverse and meaningful experiences for students

Provide a career pathway for students who have been traditionally underrepresented in medicine and other health fields

Increase the number of under-represented and rural high school students who enter post graduate science and medical programs.

Ultimately serve as a pipeline or feeder program to bring students from medically underserved areas to FSUCOM thus producing physicians that have an interest in Florida rural and inner city communities.
