Hello everyone,
We would love to rally support from minority students, residents, and
faculty for an important debate against Sally Satel, a physician who
questions the validity and findings of health disparities research. In
fact,
she feels that disparities may not really exist...

Hope to see you all there!

Hello,

I am the director of a program, project literacy, that works with
the Latino population in Chelsea, MA. It is an ESL program that meets once
a week and volunteers work one-on-one with an adult or late teen to teach
them the necessary English skills to obtain jobs and citizenship here in
the United States. It is a PBHA sponsored program. It would be great if
you could pass this on to members in your organizations. I appreciate any
help that you can provide. Please contact me if you have any advice or
questions about the program.

CONFERENCES
Cultural Citizenship: Varieties of Belonging
Radcliffe Institute, Harvard University
February 19-20, 2004
Is citizenship today as much a cultural responsibility as a political
right?
This Radcliffe Institute conference brings together philosophers,
artists, historians, and scholars to explore the vocabularies of
belonging and exclusion that are crucial to understanding the quest
for equality and community.
http://www.radcliffe.edu/conferences/cultural/index.html

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Join us at the Kennedy School, Feb. 23-27 and meet activists, social
entrepreneurs and change-makers from around the globe.
The conference brings together grassroots leaders from Brazil, Nepal,
China, South Africa, El Salvador, Zambia and the United
States to share their skills, successes, and struggles in community
organizing and economic development.

Our Latino Bridge Builders are:

Amanda Victoria Gonzalez Women's Rights Educator

Despite never having finished elementary school, Amanda Victoria Gonzalez
has dedicated her life to educating the women in
her poor Salvadoran community about their civil and cultural rights. A
dedicated community organizer and educator, Amanda
leads village-level workshops to promote awareness of womens rights. She
is also her communitys midwife, and uses this role
to help educate expectant mothers and to promote gender equity by charging
equal amounts for the births of both boys and
girls (contrary to the common practice of charging more for boys). As the
president of the board of directors of her
villages communal association, a group composed of both men and women, she
builds bridges between diverse groups in her
community, ensuring a broader understanding of womens rights and needs.

Ronaldo Lacerdo Housing Advocate

A native of one of <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns =
"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Sao Paulo, Brazil's large
urban slums, Ronaldo is a case study in determination. One of nine
children, he spent his youth in poverty, helping his
family pay the rent by selling metal scraps in the streets. At 18, Ronaldo
became involved in the "roofless" movement, a
movement that advocates for the housing rights of the urban poor. Today,
at the age of 29, he is the founder and president of
a citywide organization, which unites over forty neighborhood
organizations in the fight for improved urban services and
housing. Using a combination of protest and dialogue, Ronaldo and his
coalition have worked with the Brazilian government to
find new ways to provide housing and financing alternatives for low-income
residents.

National Puerto Rican Coalition

Washington DC Internship Program

NPRC encourages Puerto Rican/Latino college students from all majors to

NPRC's Internship Program provides college students the unique and
wonderful opportunity to work in the nation's capital on behalf of the
Puerto Rican/Latino community. Students gain valuable work experience
within the nonprofit sector, and are also exposed to a vast network in
Washington, DC.

the annual National Student Leadership Summit, and researching and writing

The Multicultural Affairs Office at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH)
sponsors a fabulous summer research experience that the minority Harvard
students may be interested in.

SRTP, which began in 1990, attracts college and medical students from
around the nation. The goal of this program is to inspire minority
students to become physicians and scientists by immersing them in
cutting-edge research opportunities. Twelve to 15 students, selected from
a nationwide competition, join SRTP each summer. Students are assigned to
specific MGH laboratories or clinical sites where they undertake original
research projects under the mentorship of an MGH investigator. Research
opportunities exist over a broad range of disciplines, encompassing
clinical, basic science, and health policy projects alike. Assignments to
clinical sites and research laboratories are carefully considered and are
made with the student's career interest in mind. In addition to research
experience, students will gain knowledge through weekly seminars, both at
the MGH and at Harvard Medical School. The seminar series will place
particular emphasis upon issues in science and medicine as they relate to
minorities.

Program requirements The program is a mandatory eight weeks in length and
has a starting day of Monday, June 14, 2004, and ending Thursday, August
5, 2004. Students will be paired with a preceptor who will work closely
with them, providing guidance and instruction in techniques necessary to
address current problems in science and medicine. The student will be
expected to participate in a new or ongoing project and assume increasing
independence during the course of the program. Each student will be
expected to prepare an oral or written presentation of his/her work at the
completion of the eight-week program. Students are required to attend the
weekly seminars as well as an introductory course in
clinical/physiological research that surveys the theoretical, practical
and applied aspects of clinical investigation.

Eligibility The program is open to underrepresented minority students who
have completed at least three years of college and first and second year
medical students. Exceptions are possible for sophomores with advanced
laboratory experience. Minorities, for the purpose of this program, are
those individuals belonging to a particular ethnic or racial group which
has been considered by the National Institute of Health to be
underrepresented in biomedical research; these include Hispanics, Blacks,
Pacific Islanders, Native Americans, and Alaskan Natives. Applicants must
be US citizens or permanent residents. No prior research experience is
necessary.

Application process The deadline for completed applications is Monday,
March 15, 2004. Each application must include a personal statement, three
letters of recommendation, a resume and an official transcript.
Applicants will be notified of their selection by Monday, April 12, 2004.

Housing Dormitory housing has been arranged in Vanderbilt Hall, at Harvard
Medical School and will be available on a limited basis.

Stipend A $3,500 stipend (includes housing and travel costs) will be
provided to students participating in the program.

The 2004 application for SRTP can be found in our website link:
