A New American University Model for Training the Future MCH Workforce Through a Translational Research Team.

Objectives: To describe the process of developing and implementing experiential learning through translational research teams that engage diverse undergraduate and graduate students.

Methods: After a college redesign, translational research teams were developed to foster multidisciplinary research and better integrate students with faculty research, community, and clinical activities. Three primary approaches were used to engage undergraduate and graduate students in the maternal and child health translational research team (MCH TrT).
