The program is designed to expand the training of candidates who are training in related clinical fields from both within and outside our institutions. The major activity during these years will be mentored laboratory investigation. This experience will be complemented by participation in the core course of the multidisciplinary Ph.D. program Molecular Basis of Diseases, weekly journal club, weekly laboratory data sessions and divisional, departmental and institutional research conferences. The goal of this program is to provide the trainees with the necessary skills and training to effectively compete for young scientist awards as the next step in their transition to independent careers as infectious diseases physician-scientists. All trainees will have completed an approved residency in Internal Medicine or Pediatrics and will have completed at least one year of fellowship in an accredited adult or pediatric training program prior to initiating laboratory training.
Candidates completing their clinical infectious diseases training elsewhere are also eligible.
