Key Quotes on Improving Summer Institute

• LESS LECTURES MORE LABS!!!!!!! • have better food at WVUor allow HSTA students to order food from

other places • Make sure the faculty does not just talk at the students. Make the

students get involved by doing some activities.• I feel that they did a good job over all but it needed to be a little more

organized and be more helpful to people specific needs. Yes we do need to meet new people and i understand that they want us to room with others from different counties but i feel that the first day they should let everyone get to know each other and pick a roommate from a different county. Someone that you know that you would feel comfortable. thank you :)

• More time with the people other than those in the group you are assigned.

• Do more evening activities.• Make the rules more clear at the beginning and give more trust to the

students.

What did you like Most about the Summer Institute?

• Mentors (Jay, Lakiah, Joe, Kara, Ryan, Jen)

• Cadaver Lab

• Hands on Activities (The Learning)

– “you get the chance to meet a lot of medical students and talk to them about their experience. you also get to talk to a lot of college students which helps give you more information on what to expect when you get to college”

– “My favorite thing about Biomed was all of the people that I had the pleasure of meeting. Everyone was interesting and exceptional and a pleasure to be around. The mentors were helpful and approachable and really helped to guide me over the week. The lesson that I participated in with Dr. Klink was engaging and interesting and well done and sparked an interest in me that I didn't know that I had. Biomed was overall an incredible experience in my life that I will remember for years to come.”

– “The videos that we made in the Social Behavior & Public Health class that my group was in. I really enjoyed the experience and the people that it was shared with.”

– “ I liked the hands on experience of the cadaver and getting an idea of what types of things I will possibly do in my college courses, if I do decide to pursue a career in health care or even science. I also enjoyed the mentor panel so I can get a more realistic perspective on college life and study specifically at WVU. I liked goal setting because it gave me a fresh sense of inspiration to go at my goals head on without hesitation.”

Final Comments

• Overall, satisfaction with Biomed SI ranged from Fairly to Extremely, (m=3.99, sd=0.91 vs. m=3.91, sd=1.15 (2013))

• Impact on increasing interest in HCCs hovered around Moderate to High, (m=3.57, sd=1.33)

• Although no significant differences between years, last year’s means were slightly higher than this year for mentors, teachers, faculty, with the exception of FSCs

TEACHER RESULTS

Program Highlights

• Significant differences found between this year and last year’s camp in following areas:

– USE OF SOCIAL NETWORKING IN UPCOMING YEAR

– BEING A HEALTH CARE ADVOCATE FOR FAMILY/COMMUNITY

Do you plan to use Social Networking upon returning to your school and community?

What other professional development needs would you like to see addressed?

Not learning the same thing every year!!!

More inventive ways to present ethics, etc.

I would like to see more statistics training for all teachers. Students get too caught up in ttest, ANOVA,

and correlations. I would like to give them other options to

examine their data.

What other professional development needs would you like to see addressed?

Technology and hands-on lab ideas with easily

accessible equipment.

Student motivation is always a concern. I would also like to see

us be able to get professional development credit.

I would like to see a group put together a new rubric for use at symposium and this would also help us prepare students for the

presentations.

the Summer Institute. (2014 m=4.54 (N=13) VS. 2013 m=4.88 (N=8)

• Many reported that the pre-academy sessions were Fairly to Extremely Effective in preparing them to facilitate student learning during the student week.– Highest Rating: Faculty Sessions (m=4.46) – Lowest Rating: Statistics Overview: m=3.73)

• They FAIRLY TO STRONGLY AGREED that their teaching methods improved due to the SI
