Program Description
The Department of Laboratory Medicine at the University
of California (UCSF) offers a two-year fellowship to provide PhD
scientists with the analytical, clinical, research, and management
experience towards specialization and board certification in clinical
chemistry. While the bulk of the training is at the San Francisco
General Hospital, the fellow also rotates through the Moffitt Long
and San Francisco Veterans Affairs hospital chemistry laboratories.
The program is designed to provide training in the operation of
a clinical laboratory, quality control and assurance, laboratory
management, analytical methodologies and test interferences. The
clinical interpretation and diagnostic relevance of tests are emphasized
through clinical consults. Research projects could involve method
development, test validation, and clinical and scientific investigation
in any of the areas within clinical chemistry. The structure of
the program is flexible to afford individualized training based
on previous experience. This program currently has an emphasis on
clinical toxicology and pharmacogenomics.
