Manage episode 429567941 series 1717562
In this episode we explore the transformative experiences of Abena Dinizulu and Stephanie Perez, two distinguished participants of the Pathways into Quantitative Aging Research (PQAR) program. They share their journeys through this rigorous six-week program, discussing how it equipped them with vital research skills, fostered professional growth, and created new opportunities in public health. Abena and Stephanie reflect on their unique paths and the program's impact on their careers, offering valuable insights for future PQAR applicants.
About the Pathways into Quantitative Aging Research (PQAR): This summer program will have an intensive schedule of courses, seminars and research, with enough free time to explore the city of New York on the weekends. For six weeks during the summer, students will receive instruction on quantitative and qualitative research methods, responsible conduct of research (RCR) training as well as GRE-prep. This program is meant to provide students with the skills needed to not only conduct research, but also to apply to and succeed in graduate school. Throughout the program students will be engaged in aging related topics/ research through their coursework, small group projects, seminars and site visits to various Public Health organizations in New York City. After the completion of the summer program, students will remain in communication with the program through our year-round monthly journal club and mentoring meetings, as well as the possibility of a January return. Students will also have the opportunity to attend academic conferences during the year, with funding from the program.
