摘要:Pipeline programs in health and biomedical sciences have gained attention as students who engage in these programs are more likely to enter into associated fields. In 2012, in an effort to support the mission of [school name], the Future Physicians Summer Enrichment Program (FPSEP) was launched for regional high school students. Recently, a program review was performed to determine if the program was meeting its goals to: 1. increase diversity and inclusion in medicine; 2. serve the needs of the community; and 3. increase the number of students entering the medical and biomedical sciences pipeline. Program structure, participant demographics and analysis of surveys administered to past participants indicate that the program is meeting its goals and supporting the mission of the medical school. The results of this analysis, areas for improvement, strengths of the program, and solutions to refine the program are presented in this article.
