The Bench to Bedside (B2B) Seminar Series has
returned for the fall 2014 semester. The series kicked-off on September 10 with
seven undergraduate and one technical college campuses participating. Students
enrolled at Francis Marion and South Carolina State Universities joined
students from College of Charleston, Greenville Technical College, Claflin,
Clemson, Coastal Carolina, and Winthrop Universities to engage in the scheduled
monthly sessions.
Data demonstrate that the
period of college/university study following high school graduation, but prior
to admission to a health professions training program, is particularly critical
to the health careers pipeline. With funding from The Duke Endowment, B2B
extends opportunities to support the successful matriculation of
underrepresented minority and underserved undergraduates into health
professions education programs. Practicing health professionals, educators,
researchers, and student affairs staff present seminars intended to promote
identified facilitators of success and address barriers to success for members
of disparate student populations.
The B2B seminars are
presented using the SCHOOLS video conferencing system. The platform enables the
session participants to interact with the facilitator in real time. Recordings
of the sessions are available through the SCHOOLS portal for viewing.
The remaining fall semester B2B
seminars are “The Impact of Media on the
Field of Public Health” on October 8 and “The Princeton Review: Verbal Booster” on November 12. Each seminar
begins at 5:00 and lasts approximately 90-minutes. Participants are encouraged
to register in advance at www.scahec.net/SCHOOLS.
