Research Collaborators
Harvard Graduate School of Education
HMS MEDscience is currently collaborating with Tina Grotzer, an associate professor of education at HGSE, a principal investigator at Harvard Project Zero, and a faculty member at the Center for Health and the Global Environment at Harvard School of Public Health. With her guidance, we are conducting a study to measure the efficacy of the HMS MEDscience curriculum. We believe the program strengthens student’s critical thinking, confidence and continued interest in STEM fields among many other factors. We are excited to continue our evaluation efforts and to obtain data that will help us illustrate how the unique pedagogy of HMS MEDscience affects our students.
Boston After School & Beyond, 2014 - Present Academic Year
Boston After School & Beyond (BASB) is a public-private collaboration that mobilizes a diverse, data-driven network of programs to ensure that all Boston youth have access to engaging, skills-focused after-school and summer programs. The HMS MEDscience Program is one of 113 strategic partner programs aimed at documenting and qualifying academic learning, enrichment experiences, and skill development opportunities, and is the only one that immerses students in team-based problem solving simulated medical emergencies. Our collaboration aims to enhance the out-of-school time programs for students in the greater Boston region, by utilizing assessment tools such as the National Institute Out-of-School Time’s Survey of Afterschool Youth Outcomes Survey (SAYO-Y) and Assessment of Program Practices Tool (APT), to continually enhance our program, teaching methods, and overall impact.
one8 Foundation (formerly Jacobson Family) Foundation
The HMS MEDscience collaboration with the one8 Foundation began in Spring 2014. With their help, we have deployed a vetted survey to measure program goals and student outcomes. The Foundation continues to support HMS MEDscience by providing consultation in strategy and expansion.
