The Division of Clinical Pharmacology is a research leader in the areas of cardiovascular therapeutics, hypertension, clinical trial simulation, drug metabolism and pharmacogenetics. It includes the Center for Drug Development Science headed by Carl Peck, M.D., and is located in a vigorous environment, including the Department of Pharmacology, led by Raymond L. Woosley, M.D., Ph.D., and a clinically active Department of Medicine. The fellowship program is a 2-3 year experience designed to train doctors as physician scientists. The salary is more than competitive with other clinical fellowships. It includes training in clinical pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and clinical trial design and analysis.
Fellows have both clinical and research responsibilities.
They are expected to select a research area of particular interest to them and are expected to design and carry out original research at the interface between patients and medications. Fellows also become proficient in providing clinically useful advice to residents and attendings at Georgetown University Medical Center via Clinical Pharmacology consultation service.
