Program Description

The goal of this two-year postdoctoral program in clinical chemistry is to prepare doctoral scientists or physicians for academic careers in laboratory medicine. The training is tailored to the backgrounds and interests of the individual fellows and is divided into two phases. Generally in the first six to nine months, in addition to taking a didactic course in human pathophysiology, fellows will rotate through all divisions of the clinical chemistry laboratories of the University of Washington, Harborview Medical Center, Children’s Hospital & Regional Medical Center, and the Seattle Veterans Affairs Health Care System. During this period, fellows become familiar with the spectrum of pathophysiology, analytical methods, and instrumentation used in these clinical chemistry laboratories. Following the first 9 months of training, fellows For the remaining 15-18 months of training, fellows pursue research relevant to laboratory medicine under the mentorship of Laboratory Medicine faculty. The fellows will also develop skills in laboratory management and participate in undergraduate and graduate teaching programs of the Department.
