Fellowship/Postdoctoral
Research Program
The division offers a
two-year fellowship for board-certified or
board-eligible internists and pediatricians to
provide them with the academic skills and
academic credentials necessary to assume
leadership positions in educational programs in
medical schools and residency programs.Formal
instruction is provided in teaching skills
(small group teaching, conducting teaching
rounds, lectures, etc.), research skills
(designing and implementing a research project,
analysis, data collection and other
methodologies, how to write abstracts, papers
and grants, etc.) and administrative skills (how
to budget a division or course, the promotion
and tenure process, etc.).
Given that the
historic strength of our division is educational
research, most fellows will be engaged in this
line of scholarship, although the methodologies
learned can apply to a wider realm of research
(health services research, epidemiology, etc.). Fellows are expected to pursue Master's level
coursework at our graduate school, attaining a
degree in public health, education, business, or
health administration. Fellows should leave the
fellowship with two major projects completed,
2-4 manuscripts completed or in preparation in
their line of work, pilot data for grant
submissions, and several presentations at
regional and national meetings. As such,
fellows will have the skills and the academic
credentials to assume tenure track (or
equivalent) faculty positions.
Recent
graduates include Jeremy Pripstein (now
faculty at Rush University in Chicago),
Gregg Talente (East Carolina), Ricky Bass
(LSU - Shreveport), Lynn Jefferies (Baylor), Chris Feddock (Kentucky),
Andrew Hoellein (Kentucky), Paula Bailey (Kentucky), Angela
Dearinger (Kentucky), Kristy Deep (Kentucky) and Don
Barnett (Kansas City VA Medical Center).
