Jane Seibel Assistant Dean Recruiting, Diversity and Communications * Science Scholars * Dear graduate students, Science Scholars is a program where we connect first year medical students at Geisel with their peer mentors to help them better navigate the scientific environment at Dartmouth, find a faculty mentor, and prepare to spend the summer before their second year conducting a basic, clinical, or translational project of their choice. Traditionally, the Science Scholars has been a program run by MD-PhD students and built around peer mentorship (medical students mentored by graduate students at Dartmouth) with a few additional workshops designed to introduce medical students to the world of science. More recently, we have worked hard to make the experience of being a Science Scholar even more meaningful by making the membership selective, establishing a specific 1-on-1 mentoring structure, adding more diverse and numerous workshops, and even connecting with the undergraduate community. This upcoming year, for the first time, Science Scholars has formally become an enrichment elective course at Geisel, improving on the core mentorship structure of our program with even more workshops, involving more faculty members, and reflecting students’ participation on their academic transcripts. Therefore, we are very excited to invite and encourage you to apply to become the mentors for the new cohort of Science Scholars among the Geisel class of 2021. Each mentor is expected to assist their assigned mentee with: - finding research faculty based on the mentee's research interest - fellowship and grant applications for prospective research opportunities - preparation of their CV/resume - preparation of posters, abstracts, and publications (if appropriate) - general guidance in any other questions related to conducting scientific research Peer mentors are expected to meet with their mentees on a monthly basis. More information about the Science Scholars program can be found at: http://geiselmed.dartmouth.edu/mdphd/links/science/ If you are interested in becoming a peer mentor, please fill out the following survey by 11:59 pm on Sunday, October 1st: https://goo.gl/forms/UjFdO39FKnuyN8q02 Looking forward to working with you this year! All the best, - Science Scholars coordinators Yasmin Kamal ([log in to unmask]) Marek Svoboda ([log in to unmask]) Francesco Emiliani ([log in to unmask]) ######################################################################## * Subscription Details * You are subscribed to Graduate Studies Listserv.
