Program Description:
Emory University occupies 550 acres in a quiet, residential area about 15 minutes northeast of downtown Atlanta. The Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine of Emory University is one of the largest training centers for pathologists in the United States. The postdoctoral program in clinical chemistry at Emory University was founded in 2005, with the support of the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine. The goal of the program is to educate and train Ph.D. and/or M.D. scientists for careers in clinical chemistry.
The duration of the program is a minimum of two years. Clinical chemistry postdoctoral fellows train with residents in pathology. The program is structured such that, during the first few months, the fellow is prepared for clinical service through didactic teachings and rotations through areas of the clinical laboratory. The fellows then become active in clinical service by assisting with clinical projects and on-call responsibilities for the laboratory. At the same time fellows are involved in research projects during this time and may elect to continue projects beyond the required two years. Additionally, fellows participate in and attend weekly seminars in the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine. Through unique partnerships in the Atlanta area, this program is designed to prepare trainees for academic, clinical service, and industry positions. |
