Degree & Certificate Programs

Fellows can choose to participate in a degree or certificate program focused on research design, medical education, or public health. The program choices will be discussed with faculty to determine the best option for the fellow. Possible degrees and certificates that fellows can enroll in are listed below. Whichever program the fellow joins, they will conduct a carefully designed and mentored research project under the direction of the Program Director and other faculty.

Distribution of Time

Fifty percent of time will be spent in course work related to epidemiology, biostatistics, and research design; in planning and executing one or more research projects; and in a variety of didactic experiences concerning research, teaching, clinical work, and academic development

Fifty percent of time will be spent in direct patient care and teaching activities, and in training in clinical, teaching, and administrative skills, as described in Section III. The clinical work emphasizes out-patient experiences in community-based facilities

Continuation of the Program

Continuation in the program is contingent on satisfactory performance in the clinical aspects of the program; on the fellow’s passing the Board examination in his or her specialty before or during the first year of the fellowship (time will be allotted for study); and the fellow’s satisfactory performance in the degree program (receipt of a passing grade in all courses).
