Program Description:
The goal of this program is to provide doctoral
scientists or physicians the necessary skills, knowledge and experience
to practice clinical chemistry in a hospital or industrial setting.
Since trainees may have different backgrounds, the structure of
the program is very flexible. However, each trainee will rotate
through all sections of the laboratory at either Children's Hospital
or the adjacent Brigham and Women's Hospital, attend weekly clinical
pathology seminars and endocrine and toxicology rounds, attend didactic
sessions with faculty, participate in teaching medical technologists
and medical students, attend laboratory management sessions, and
conduct research project and present data at national meetings.
Trainees are expected at the end of fellowship to seek certification
by the ABCC or equivalent Board.
