Research

Research training is an integral part of the fellowship. The 36 months of fellowship includes 15 months of clinical service, nine weeks of vacation, and 18 months of scholarly activity. Fellows are expected to participate in a core curriculum of lectures in the basics of research, including study design, data analysis, and preparation of manuscripts and grants.

Extensive options for both basic science or clinical research experiences are available through collaboration with the broad spectrum of lab-based and clinical scientists at Vanderbilt University. The Vanderbilt Institute for Clinical and Translational Research (VICTR) will play an integral role in the successful completion of a project.
