No applicant without adequate departmental commitment will be accepted. Each applicant will describe plans for salary sources for two years via GME, partial clinical revenue as an instructor and/or training grant stipends.

Applications will be reviewed for completeness by the executive committee. Candidate selection will be a function of the Internal Advisory Committee. The Committee will prioritize applications based on potential for a career in patient oriented research, departmental commitment and mentor qualifications. They will recommend the top five novice applicants for awards. Transitional candidates who meet all criteria for participation will be accepted.
Our goal is accept a minimum of 5 novice and 5 transitional trainees annually. We will be able to accommodate a large number of additional trainees who would like to participate in the coursework and seminars. Our only restriction on the number of awardees is in the noviceprogram where we are limited to five enrollees annually due to limited funds for tuition support and small grants for research costs during apprenticeships.
