Abstract
The authors analyze the curriculum of a summer pipeline program for underserved premedical students. They compare qualitative data on the delivery and experience of curricular activities obtained from 48 activity descriptions, participant surveys, and faculty/staff observations against the 15 American Association of Medical Colleges (AAMC) core competencies. Retrospective and follow-up data obtained from program applications and alumni surveys are used to describe the demographics and longitudinal career outcomes for the 228 participants from 2002 to 2018. The analysis identifies 10 fully addressed and 5 partially addressed AAMC competencies in the 6-week curriculum. Ninety-two graduates matriculated into medical school, 83 (90 percent) from groups underrepresented in medicine. A description of the curriculum and methods used to assess its objectives provides a framework for pipeline programs generally. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
