## Abstract

ABSTRACT
Traumatic injuries are a leading cause of death and disability, and underrepresented minorities are
disproportionately affected. The Pediatric Injury Prevention Student Internship Training (INSIGHT)
program is an innovative, and intensive, eight-week undergraduate summer program at the University of
Washington's Harborview Injury Prevention and Research Center. INSIGHT introduces students to
professional development and scientific communication through interactive seminars, public speaking practice,
and scientific presentation. The INSIGHT program provides students the necessary background and
experiences to successfully compete for higher educational opportunities for medical or graduate school.
Leveraging diverse partnerships with community and research organizations, INSIGHT increases the number
of minority, first generation, or otherwise underrepresented students exposed to the field of medicine, pediatric
injury prevention and injury control. Over the past three years, INSIGHT has received four fold more
applications, from diverse backgrounds. The Specific Aims are: 1) To provide an immersive mentored research
experience in pediatric injury control, 2) To impart critical professional development capacity building skills, and
3) To increase recruitment of underrepresented and disadvantaged students to the field of pediatric injury
control. The Pediatric INSIGHT program will have broad impact because it addresses a major public health
concern, program demand is high, and there is organizational readiness to enrich this interdisciplinary and
unique student summer program focused on the field of pediatric injury prevention and control.
