AB  - An aging population and expansion of health care coverage under the Patient 
      Protection and Affordable Care Act have led to a predicted deficit of primary 
      care physicians by 2025. In response, medical schools must develop new strategies 
      to identify students early in their educational pathways to encourage exploration 
      of careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields, 
      especially medicine. Oklahoma State University Center for Health Sciences 
      developed 2 internship programs, Oklahoma Science Training and Research Students 
      (OKStars) and Native OKStars, to introduce high school students to osteopathic 
      medicine. Native OKStars was designed to encourage Native American students, who 
      are underrepresented in STEM fields, to pursue osteopathic medicine. These 
      programs provided students with a 6-week immersion in biomedical research, along 
      with weekly discussion groups with mentors. Participant questionnaire responses 
      suggested that these programs were effective in introducing them to careers in 
      osteopathic medicine as well as other STEM fields.
