The New Century Scholars Resident Mentoring Program, supported by the APA, APS, and ABP, is a mentorship program aimed at increasing the diversity of the academic pediatric workforce.
Program Need
- Racial and ethnic disparity in child health and health care is an increasingly important issue, particularly as US demographics become more diversified.
- One approach to decreasing racial/ethnic disparities is to increase the number of pediatricians working in academic settings (i.e., education, research, and clinical care).
- One way to increase recruitment into academic careers is to provide role models and mentors to pediatric trainees during the time when career plans are being formed.
We are now accepting applications. APPLY HERE
The program selects under-represented in medicine (UIM) pediatric residents who have an interest in pursuing careers in academic pediatrics to become NCScholars. NCScholars are recruited in the second year of residency (or third year for incoming chief residents or internal medicine/pediatrics or other combined program).
NCScholars are matched with junior and senior mentors who provide ongoing support to the scholar during residency, career planning, the fellowship application process, and onward.
- Junior Mentors: Fellows in training programs and junior faculty who have a commitment to mentorship and the program goals.
- Senior mentors: APA members who are educators or researchers who have a commitment to mentorship and the program goals
- NCScholars and their mentors meet during the annual PAS meetings and continue contact throughout the year.
- NCScholars receive a travel grant to attend the annual PAS meetings (including travel, room, and registration fees).
- NCScholars attend a special one day conference the day before the PAS meeting.
- A dinner banquet is held honoring the NCScholars, attended by APA leadership, fellowship directors, and guests.
- NCScholars are in contact with mentors and Program staff throughout the PAS meeting.
- It is required that all NCScholars attend the annual PAS meetings and the New Century Scholars Conference the day before the PAS begins. Residency programs are asked to help with residency scheduling so that the NCScholar may attend.
- Ongoing activities:
- AGPAC Fellowships for New Century Scholars
- NCScholars are provided free membership in the APA during their residency
- Career counseling by program directors and mentors
- Website and Listserv for NCScholars
- Support during fellowship application and post-residency career planning
The 2021 meeting will be held in Vancouver, Canada April 28- May 5, 2020. As a scholar, you are required to attend PAS April 29th- May 2, 2021, in Vancouver, Canada and April 21st-24th in Denver, Colorado.
Eligibility
- You must be either a second year resident in a Pediatric Residency Program, a third year resident in a Med/Peds residency program, a future chief resident in their third year of residency for a categorical pediatrics program, or a future chief resident in their 4th year for a med/peds program in good standing. Please contact the program director if you have any questions.
- A member of an under-represented in medicine group. APA's New Century Scholars Program defines underrepresented minority using the AAMC's definition of URM in medicine: "Underrepresented in medicine means those racial and ethnic populations that are underrepresented in the medical profession relative to their numbers in the general population."
- Applicants should have an interest in pursuing an academic career in pediatrics (e.g., conducting research and/or being an educator at a medical school, teaching hospital, or other similar setting). Furthermore, an interest in pursuing scholarly activities in the areas of racial/ethnic health disparities, minority child health and development, sociocultural determinants of health, and cultural competency will be considered in the selection process.
- NCScholars are required to attend the annual meeting of the Pediatric Academic Societies (PAS) during the time they are in the program, i.e., 2nd and 3rd year of residency (travel grants are awarded to the NCScholars to attend). The 2020 meeting will be held in Vancouver, Canada April 28- May 5, 2021 and in Denver, Colorado April 20th- 27th, 2022 . As a scholar, you are required to attend PAS from April 29th- May 2, 2021 in Vancouver, Canada and April 21st to April 24th, 2022 in Denver, Colorado. If you cannot attend the PAS meetings, please do not apply to this program.
- All applicants must pay a $50 application fee (this includes a free APA membership).
Application Instructions
- The application is online and requires the following materials be submitted electronically:
- Career plan (limit 300 words)
- Short essay questions
- Curriculum vitae
- Research Experience
- List of any publications
- Personal statement (limit 600 words)
- Chief resident agreement form
- Letter of recommendations (one from your residency director and another from a faculty member or staff at your current institution).
- Applications will be reviewed by a selection team, and applicants will be notified of selection decisions by the end of the January. Selected NCScholars will be matched with mentors in late 2020 (before the PAS meetings).
- We will be accepting applications for our next cohort starting July 1, 2020.
