The Biomedical Science Careers Program (BSCP) was founded in 1991 by Joan Y. Reede, M.D., M.P.H., M.S., M.B.A. The primary objective of all BSCP activities is to identify, inform, support and provide mentoring for academically outstanding students/fellows in science, medicine, and healthcare. Since its inception, more than 17,000 students and 1,500 postdoctoral trainees and junior faculty members have participated in BSCP programs. Participants range from high school to postdoctoral level and attend from across the country.
