Division of Infectious Diseases

Research

Each fellow participates in clinical and/or basic research for 7 or more months of the 24-month training period. The experience is working one-on-one with a faculty member who serves as a mentor for the trainee. Participation is usually in an ongoing project by the mentor. Trainees also participate in clinical trials in which the division is engaged. It is expected that each trainee will author or co-author at least one publication for submission to a peer reviewed journal. Trainees may also prepare and present abstracts for presentation at regional or national meetings and also write book chapters. The trainee is also expected to attend the monthly departmental research conference.
