| For all trainees, the majority of the training program is directed toward conducting scientific investigation in kidney disease-oriented research in the laboratories of one or several of the primary training faculty. Candidates must hold an M.D. or Ph.D. before acceptance into the program. M.D. applicants will include board-eligible internists and pediatricians. All trainees are expected to complete at least two years of research training, although we strongly encourage M.D. fellows to have at least three years as a substantive foundation to develop a competitive career. All candidates must have permanent resident status (green card) before admission to the program. |
| Advanced courses offered by the Medical School | Formal course work is not required. On a voluntary basis, trainees may take any graduate level class offered by basic or clinical departments in the School of Medicine when appropriate for their research training. |
| Masters of Science | The Clinical Research Scholars Program (CRSP) offers formal didactic course work and a longitudinal seminar series in conjuction with an established mentored research program for award of an M.S. degree. Link here for more information. |
| Masters of Public Health | Offered through the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics. A two year program with required course work in conjuction with an established mentored research program for award of an M.P.H. degree. Link here for more information. |
M.D. to Ph.D. Program |
Offered by the Department of Physiology and Biophysics. Credit given for previous M.D. course work for organ systems physiology, cell biology and other relevant classes. Link here for more information. |
