DAVID
A. PETERSON GRADUATE FELLOWSHIPS IN AGING
Starting in the Fall, 2004, up to 5 doctoral and 10 master of science
students annually will be provided financial support for full-time study
in aging at the Leonard Davis School of Gerontology at the University
of Southern California through the David A. Peterson Fellowships in
Aging. The purpose of the fellowships is two-fold: first, to honor the
leadership and scholarship of the School's former director, David A.
Peterson, Ph.D.; second, to offer substantial financial support to students
with exceptional academic ability who want to become leaders in research
and service to older persons. Students in the Leonard Davis School of
Gerontology come from many different backgrounds, across the social,
biological and health sciences. Alumni from the Ph.D. program are leaders
in research in academic, corporate and government settings across the
nation. Graduates of the Master of Science program are also national
leaders in administration, advocacy, and direct services to older persons.
To be considered for the Peterson fellowships, applicants must meet
admission criteria that are significantly above minimums for the Leonard
Davis School of Gerontology published in the USC Catalogue. Applicants
to the Master of Science (MSG) program should have earned a minimum
cumulative grade point average (GPA) of at least 3.2 on a 4.0 scale
for undergraduate work, and have obtained scores of at least 550 on
the verbal and quantitative sections of the Graduate Record Examination
(GRE). Ph.D. program applicants should have cumulative GPAs of at least
3.5 for undergraduate work, and 3.6 or better for graduate work. Ph.D.
applicants are expected to have obtained scores of at least 650 on the
verbal and quantitative sections of the GRE. A separate application
is not required for fellowship consideration. Applicants meeting the
above criteria for the Master of Science and Ph.D. in Gerontology programs
will be considered upon completion of their application files. Preference
is given to applicants who complete their application files no later
than December 10 for the Ph.D. program, and February 1 for the Master
of Science Program. Application forms are available on line at:
http://www.usc.edu/gero. Fellows will be notified of their awards by
the Leonard Davis School beginning February 1 and no later than April
1. For further information visit: www.usc.edu/dept/gero/fellowships/

MEDICAL
SCIENTIST TRAINING PROGRAM
The Medical Scientist Training Program at the University of Washington
is looking for bright, highly qualified candidates throughout the United
States to apply to the program. The goal of the M.D.-Ph.D. program is
to provide young scientists both with in-depth research experience and
with medical expertise to investigate the most challenging problems
of human health. Our students spend the first two academic years at
the UW medical school curriculum and the summers of those years in laboratory
rotations. At the beginning of year three, each student chooses a lab
for Ph.D. research and spends (typically) four years on a dissertation
project. Students then return to medical school for the final two years
of clinical studies. Students graduate with both the M.D. and the Ph.D.
and enter residency or postdoctoral training. Our graduates are extremely
competitive for these post-graduate positions and generally have their
choice of a very wide range of top-rated opportunities. The program
is especially strong in biotechnology, genetics, neurobiology, cancer
research and molecular and cell biology. Please visit the program web
site at www.mstp.washington.edu
for more specific details regarding the program itself and the application
requirements.
In order to apply to the University of Washington's MST Program,
you must submit the AMCAS application to the University of Washington
Medical School by Saturday, November 1, 2003. After submission, complete
the online MSTP application. The application deadline for the program
is Thursday, January 15, 2004.

GLOBAL
HEALTH, EPIDEMIOLOGY AND THE UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH
AIDs, Cancer, SARS, Monkey Pox, Smoking and Health, the Epidemic of
Obesity, Bioterrorism. These have been some of the epidemics of this
young new century. Who investigates these? Who prevents these? Epidemiologists.
WHO, CDC, PAHO, NIH the World Bank all use epidemiologists to track
down and stamp out disease. Epidemiologists have been called medical
detectives. We sift through data like detectives to find the causes
of diseases and do whatever we can for prevention. In Pittsburgh we
are looking for top students who are interested in joining our efforts.
One effort for example is the global Supercourse, which is a telepreventive
medicine effort of over 10,000 scientists sharing knowledge about prevention
(www.pitt.edu/~super1).
Our department is large, and one of the most productive in the country.
We are interested in having you come and train. We want to build a diverse
student body, and therefore are looking for top qualified students from
many different areas, biology, physics, medicine, psychology, history,
etc. It has been estimated that in the next 5 years there will be 5
times more positions for epidemiologists than there are people with
training.
If you are interested in learning more, please visit www.epidemiology.pitt.edu/

serve a variety of communities on the North Shore of Massachusetts and
provide a warm and exciting environment for learning. In conjunction

a program in teacher preparation. This program is designed primarily
for graduates with BA or BS degrees who have decided to teach but who
are not prepared by their academic backgrounds to do so. The program
requires essentially one year of intensive study and work but results
in one year's teaching experience, Massachusetts certification, and
a Master's degree in education from Lesley University. Degrees are available
in Early Childhood Education, Elementary, or Middle School (subject
specific). The program begins with a summer of graduate study at Lesley
University, is followed by a nine-month internship experience at Brookwood,
which includes part-time course work at Lesley. The central focus of
the intern's work at Brookwood is the practical experience of teaching
in the classroom with an experienced directing teacher. The other integral
part of the program is weekly workshops and seminars which are conducted
by the program director and the Brookwood faculty and for which credits
are awarded. In addition to working closely with a mentor teacher from
Brookwood, the intern is also provided with an advisor from Lesley University.
During the second half of the academic year at Brookwood, every effort
will be made to assist the intern in securing a teaching position for
September of the following year. A candidate, having earned an undergraduate
degree, must first apply for admission to the Brookwood Teacher Training
Program, for which a personal interview is required. Brookwood seeks
people who care deeply about children, who are accomplished academically,
and who have strong extracurricular interests that they want to share
with students. Acceptance into the Teacher Training Program is then
followed by application to the Lesley University Graduate School of
Education. To initiate the application process, contact:
