NYU Langone Health and the New York City Department of Education (DOE) have begun a collaboration that brings two important new programs to DOE's HE3AT initiative in Brooklyn. HE3AT stands for Healthcare, Energy, Education, Environment, Agriculture, Technology and is designed to give high school students the opportunity to explore the social, political, technological, and economic complexities of various industries. The new program at NYU Langone Hospital in Brooklyn focuses on preparing Brooklyn South High School students for careers in clinical research and nursing.
The HE³AT curriculum educates students in the basic principles of healthcare through visits to local institutions. This groundbreaking initiative will increase students' awareness of career paths in the medical field. It also creates opportunities to build academic, project management, and leadership skills while preparing for future clinical research and nursing careers.
“This innovative program represents our commitment to engaging and educating future clinical research talent,” said Bernard Schwartz, Ph.D., and Eileen Schwartz Professor of Radiology and Director of Clinical and Translational Science Research at New York University Langone. said Miriam A. Bredera, MD, MBA, Director of the CTSI Institute. “It's essential that our research teams reflect the communities we serve, and this exciting new partnership will help students from south Brooklyn neighborhoods immerse themselves in the new Brooklyn workforce while preparing them for the future. “Clinical Research Center creates unique opportunities to imagine a research career.” ”
Once a month, students travel for six hours to NYU Langone Hospital in Brooklyn to immerse themselves in a hands-on environment. The clinical research program, funded by the National Institutes of Health and run by CTSI, teaches students to design their own research projects in 11th grade and carry out those projects under faculty guidance in 12th grade. We will assist you in doing so.
The Nursing program gives students a deep understanding of the many roles and specialties available within the nursing profession and teaches them to develop and propose solutions to issues surrounding topics such as patient experience and nurse retention. .
“Working closely with communities to build pathways into the nursing profession is an important part of our efforts to advance health equity,” said Chief Nursing Officer and Patient at NYU Langone. said Debra Albert, DNP, MBA, RN, senior vice president of care services. “We are excited to work with our students and hope to inspire the next generation of nurses in Brooklyn.”
Students in both programs earn course credit by collaborating with industry professionals such as clinical research coordinators, physicians, nurses, and technicians, as well as students from other schools. Throughout the program, industry experts facilitate interactive learning experiences where students collaborate in teams to address pressing problems in clinical research and nursing while exploring design thinking, applied entrepreneurship, and ethical business. You can work on management principles.
