Participation in a mentorship project requires maturity on the part of the student. We expect students to handle confidential and proprietary information in a responsible manner, and to commit themselves wholeheartedly to the project. Optimally, the student's work will be of value to the laboratory or place of business, and in return, the student will have an early start on his/her career. 

The mentorship requires a commitment from the student of at least four hours per week, for at least one semester, and sometimes longer. If a mentor is pressed for time, some meetings and data exchange can be conducted through email. Our excellent computer facilities, including Internet access, a Sun workstation, and Mathematica enable students to do some of their mentorship project work at OSSM. When the project is done, the student must prepare a written research report, and an oral report to the students and faculty at OSSM. Some students present posters of their work at the Health Sciences Center Graduate Education Research Day (GERD). 

As our graduates leave for college (about a third go out of state), the professional contacts that they have here will, we hope, bring them back to Oklahoma as they begin their own careers or perhaps start their own businesses. Whether a student returns to Oklahoma or not, the age of telecommunications has arrived, and a network of Oklahomans who are highly trained professionals across the U.S.A. will become a reality. A Mentor gives a student a big head start toward this goal, and is an invaluable partner with OSSM in preparing Oklahoma students for the 21st century.
