Other info: The Robert A. Winn Diversity in Clinical Trials: Clinical Investigator Pathway Program (Winn CIPP), supported by the Bristol Myers Squibb Foundation, is an immersive summer service-learning externship meant to build a future workforce of community-oriented clinical trial researchers who reflect the diversity of the U.S. population. Winn CIPP offers a distinctive approach to increasing diversity in clinical trials by offering medical students an intensive service-learning experience in underserved communities where underrepresented patients receive care. It is through this work that we hope to transform the clinical research landscape and ultimately improve public health through the development of new drugs, vaccines and therapeutic products that are effective in all populations.
