Opportunities for Additional Training

The Division of Immunology has options for an additional 1-2 years of training for those individuals with prior research experience desiring an intensive research experience in preparation for a future career in academic medicine as a physician-scientist. Fellows wishing to pursue this pathway should identify such interest to their research mentor, the Program Director and the Division Director by the spring of their first year of fellowship. The trainee will be asked to work with their research mentor to apply for and successfully receive funding for this research pathway either through the competitive application process for an NIH T32 training grant or equivalent.  For fellows planning an academic career as a clinician-educator, the Division has options for trainees to participate in the “Fellows as Clinician Educator” course during Year Two.  In addition, fellows wishing to pursue a Master’s in Medical Education should discuss this option with the Program Director and the Division Director by the spring of their first year of fellowship.
