Abstract

This paper examines the critical transition from undergraduate to graduate biomedical education and focuses on Hispanic/Latinx students who participated in a biomedical undergraduate research program at a Hispanic-Serving Institution located on the US-Mexico border. We use the community cultural wealth (CCW) framework (Yosso, 2005) to analyze 13 qualitative interviews about students' experiences applying to graduate school in biomedical fields and how different program activities allowed students to navigate the graduate school application process. Our findings suggest that different programmatic activities (research experiences, research mentorship, workshops, family involvement, and advising) facilitated students' graduate school application process by enhancing different types of cultural capital: aspirational, familial, social, navigational, and resistant.

西班牙裔/拉丁裔 STEM 专业学生申请研究生院：家庭、同伴和本科生研究项目在促进社区文化财富中的作用。

本文研究了从本科生到研究生的生物医学教育的关键过渡，并重点关注了在位于美墨边境的西班牙裔服务机构参加生物医学本科研究项目的西班牙裔/拉美裔学生。我们使用社区文化财富（CCW）框架（Yosso, 2005）分析了 13 个定性访谈，内容涉及学生申请生物医学领域研究生院的经历，以及不同的项目活动是如何帮助学生顺利完成研究生院申请过程的。我们的研究结果表明，不同的项目活动（研究经历、研究导师、研讨会、家庭参与和指导）通过增强不同类型的文化资本（愿望资本、家庭资本、社会资本、导航资本和抵制资本）来促进学生的研究生院申请过程。
