Infectious Disease Epidemiology Training Program (NIH Grant T-32 A149821-01)
The infectious disease epidemiology training program was established in 2001 to develop investigators with expertise in the epidemiology of infectious diseases. Funded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), trainees selected for this program will be expected to conduct clinical- or laboratory-based research with one of the participating faculty mentors. In addition, they will be required to obtain a master's or doctoral degree with a focus in infectious disease epidemiology. The goal is that graduates of the program will serve as future leaders in the effort to rapidly identify, prevent, and manage emerging and reemerging infections in a dramatically changing global environment. Eligible candidates will be expected to pursue a master's of public health or doctoral degree as part of this program.
Nicholas A. Rango HIV Clinical Scholars Program
The
Nicholas A. Rango HIV Clinical Scholars program is a collaboration between the New York State Department of Health AIDS Institute and selected designated AIDS center hospitals across the state. NewYork–Presbyterian Hospital/CUMC is one of the participating institutions. This program is dedicated to the development of highly qualified, well-trained clinicians who are seeking hands-on training in HIV/AIDS clinical care and the public health aspects of the HIV epidemic. This two-year fellowship includes intensive academic, clinical, and independent study components. Scholars are assigned clinical preceptors who supervise their inpatient and outpatient clinical experiences. Each scholar participates in an academic core curriculum in AIDS care, program management, and policy. An independent study project is completed by each scholar under the supervision of a mentor. Scholars are selected through a competitive process and receive a stipend and full benefits. Fellows in infectious diseases can apply to the scholars program after their first year of clinical ID training. Alternatively, the program can be completed by individuals who want training focused in HIV care. For more information about the Nicholas A. Rango HIV Scholars program, visit the Program Web site or contact Ellen Morrison, MD, MPH via email or phone (212)-305-6328.
