BAPTIST HEALTH INSTITUTES AND PROGRAMS
MIAMI NEUROSCIENCE INSTITUTE Fundraising at a Glance
Miami Neuroscience Institute is the most recent Institute to emerge at Baptist Health. Comprehensive funding is vital to help advance and expand the range of technology available at the Institute, and therefore remains at the forefront of philanthropic efforts. Telestroke carts, for example, are state-of-the-art solutions that allow us to communicate effectively via telemedicine and remote access for timely treatment of stroke patients across Baptist Health. Support for the technology behind Miami Neuroscience Institute’s stroke program helps reduce time to treatment, regardless of the patient’s geographic location.
Looking to the Future
In conjunction with Baptist Health Foundation, Miami Neuroscience Institute will soon launch its new Neuroscience Research Scholars program for current and recently graduated undergraduate students, first- or second-year graduate students and first- or second-year medical students. Three scholars will be selected for the 12-week program, which will take place each summer. The program offers the scholars the opportunity to engage with the Institute to conduct clinical
research and review past and current clinical efforts to analyze results and suggest improvements in clinical practice, where necessary, in a variety of subspecialty disciplines. Scholars will be matched with research mentors within their area of interest and will be required to participate in an existing study. In addition to hands-on clinical research experience, the scholars will be required to participate in weekly educational workshops on various research topics, providing a complete and immersive learning experience. 35
