The King/Drew Biomedical Science Education Partnership Award (SEPA)
Program is a three -year intensive and comprehensive biomedical science
education program for the same 100 students attending the King/Drew
Medical Magnet High School who will participate in the program from grade
10 to 12. Implementation of the SEPA program is through a coalition of
partners: King/Drew Medical Magnet High School of Medicine and Science,
Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science, California State
University, Los Angeles' Council of Health Related Programs, and the
University of Southern California's School of Medical Education, MED-COR
Program. The goal of the SEPA program are to provide extensive educational
opportunities, experiences and support for the program's students so that
they will be encouraged to enroll in science courses beyond the school
district's minimum requirements; and be retained successfully in secondary
level science courses rendering them eligible for post-secondary science
majors leading to careers in science, engineering and technology. This project is supported by grant R25 RR13293, from the Science Education Partnership Award (SEPA) Program, National Center for Research Resources and the National Institute of Dental Research, National Institutes of Health, DHHS. |
