Post-baccalaureate Opportunity
The HGSC-Pre-Graduate Education and Training (PGET) Program is a one year post-baccalaureate research training program. We provide post-baccalaureate opportunities for recent college graduates and BCM research technicians who are interested in obtaining a Ph.D. or M.D/Ph.D. This program gives post-baccalaureates an opportunity to continue their educational quest, gain research experience, and tools that will help them gain admission into graduate school. We offer two types of post-baccalaureate experiences: research post-baccalaureate fellow (selected recent college graduates who are paid by this program); and BCM-HGSC post-baccalaureate (already employed by BCM).
The PGET provides:
- Must be a BCM employee (Research Technician) to participate in this program
- Financial support for college courses to strengthen the student's background to gain graduate admission
- Molecular-Cellular-Biology course for BCM post-baccalaureates
- GRE Preparation Course
- Bioinformatics BootCamp Course
- Guidance and career counseling from the program mentor for graduate school acceptance
- Opportunities to meet with BCM-HGSC researchers, minority scientists from Texas Medical Center institutions, and minority scientists from private industry
- Weekly meetings with peers to discuss scientific and career development topics
- One year program
