Program Description:
The recently expanded, ComACC-accredited Postdoctoral
Fellowship Program in Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine
at the University of Louisville Department of Pathology and Laboratory
Medicine prepares exceptional individuals with advanced degrees
(Ph.D. or M.D.) for careers in Laboratory Medicine. Our Fellowship
Program emphasizes the application of advanced analytical techniques
involving proteomics and genomics in order to provide a better fundamental
understanding of laboratory medicine as a clinical and research
discipline. The Fellowship Program requires a minimum of two years
for completion; however, further training in a third year –
particularly in advanced research – is encouraged. Fellows
are trained not only as specialists in disciplines such as Clinical
Chemistry/Toxicology, Clinical Pharmacogenomics, Diagnostic Proteomics
and other new and evolving specialties, but also as basic and clinical
laboratory scientists. The Program focuses on providing sufficient
practical and theoretical experience for a career in academic medicine,
clinical practice, or industry. In addition, preparation for certification
by national boards, such as the American Board of Clinical Chemistry
(ABCC), Molecular Diagnostics, etc., is a major aspect of the Program.
Emphasis is placed on the foundation needed for future career development
stressing both basic and translational clinical research.
