Master's Student to Participate in NIH Summer Research Training Institute

Vanessa Hoyos, a master's student in the Family Nurse Practitioner program and a staff member of a U-M School of Nursing Nurse Managed Center, has been invited to participate in a National Institutes of Health summer research training program. This program, the Minority Health and Health Disparities International Research Training (MHIRT), aims to increase the representation of socially or economically disadvantaged groups who have been historically underrepresented in biomedical and behavioral careers and to support the research training of students who will most likely contribute to the elimination of health disparities that exist among disadvantaged populations in the U.S. For 12 weeks, Vanessa will travel to the country of Chile and conduct research with a U-M faculty member. Upon her return, Vanessa will continue with the Nurse Managed Center.
