Fellows will acquire research skills in design, methods and analysis through monthly seminars and journal clubs as well as formal coursework. Fellows are expected to complete at least two research projects during the course of their fellowship. The projects may be clinical, educational or advocacy-related. Fellows will identify a research mentor and question of interest during their first year, and will further develop and implement their projects during the following two years. They will present their scholarly work at biannual Works in Progress sessions with faculty advisors.
Fellows have the opportunity to enroll in a Master’s of Public Health degree program at the Harvard School of Public Health or in other appropriate programs including those at the Kennedy School of Government or at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. Fellows will also be asked to complete several research and career-development courses through the Clinical Research Center and the Offices of Fellowship Training and Graduate Medical Education.
