W e offer a three year fellowship with an emphasis on laboratory research. Our principle goal is to prepare physicians for a career in academic medicine. Previous laboratory experience is useful but not a prerequisite for this fellowship.
Fellows get their research training in one or more of the laboratories of our faculty.
The research of the faculty is quite diverse. To be eligible for this grant you must be a citizen of the U.S. or a resident alien. If you are not eligible for this support, you must find alternative support, such as a fellowship from your own country or a foundation grant. We believe it is most important for fellows to learn about the pathogenesis of infections, and to become expert in the use of the diagnostic microbiology laboratory, and those aspects of clinical training are emphasized. Fellows also have continuity clinic for three years, either at the V.A., University Hospital, or the AIDS Treatment Center.
