Training Overview

Content

The basic training program consists of an average 18 months of clinical training and an average 18 months of research training. This 36-month program provides the trainee with state-of-the-art knowledge and skills required for an academic career, which includes clinical service, teaching and research.

Second- and third-years will be heavily focused on research and participation in the fellows’ continuity clinic and teaching. The fellows participate in the teaching of medical students, residents and present at clinical case conferences. The program’s director of research helps the fellow to identify a clinical or basic science research project, which appeals to the specific interest of that individual and helps identify an appropriate mentor to guide the development, approval and execution of the scholarly activity.
