Applicants will typically have graduated from excellent programs in medicine, nursing, dentistry, naturopathy, chiropractic, osteopathy or other clinically-oriented PhD programs. Also, PhDs in basic science wishing to conduct CAM-relevant research are eligible applicants. Some applicants may be in the midst of their careers, or in some instances will have recently completed training in their fields, but all should be interested in the challenges of CAM research and in acquiring the critical skills needed for testing CAM modalities, products or identifying the basic mechanisms underlying these. Coursework available provides more than adequate opportunities through which postdoctoral trainees from diverse multidisciplinary backgrounds can develop the skills and knowledge needed for a successful career in conducting CAM-relevant research. Applicants should be prepared to make a two-year commitment to the CAM Research Training Program.
Health insurance is allowable for trainee and eligible family members.
Applicants are notified by email and U.S. mail when the application packet has been received and assessed to contain all needed materials for review. Following the review process by the Steering Committee, applicants are notified by email and U.S. mail. Applicants accepted must within two weeks from date of notification submit a letter of intent to pursue the CAM research training to reserve a postdoctoral trainee position.
