Program Description:
The University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston
is a full-service center providing tertiary care to the indigent
population of the State of Texas, the Texas Department of Corrections,
and patients in Galveston County as well as surrounding counties.
The medical center has 870 beds, a large ambulatory care unit,
and a full-service emergency room/trauma center. Postdoctoral
training in clinical chemistry will be entirely on campus at UTMB.
The patient population at UTMB is excellent with a full range
of pediatric and adult medical and surgical cases.
Postdoctoral fellows will train with pathology residents. Responsibilities
include seminars, selected medical lectures, journal club, selected
topics in laboratory management, night call and clinical rounds.
Management experience is incorporated into both years of training.
Fellows also present lectures in selected topics, participate
in the division's director On-Call Service, and are assigned specific
sections of the laboratory where they have technical responsibilities.
Special strengths of the UTMB program include scheduled didactic
lectures, ward rounds, and scheduled rotation through all areas
of the laboratory in the first six months, yearly in-service examinations,
and use of state-of-the-art instrumentation. The fellows are also
required to be involved in basic and applied research projects
with focus in the areas of intracellular ions homeostatis, molecular
toxicology, proteomics and pharmacogenomics.
