Fellowship Description: |
The Robert Wood Johnson Clinical Scholars Program is a two-year fellowship for physicians interested in clinical research and healthcare leadership. The fellowship provides rigorous training in clinical and health services research, health policy, and community-based health research. Under the guidance of mentors, Scholars will conduct two or more independent clinical research projects during the fellowship. The fellowship is offered at four sites: the University of California, Los Angeles ; the University of Michigan ; the University of Pennsylvania ; and Yale University . Physicians typically apply in their second year of residency, for a start date after the end of their third year of residency. Surgeons can apply in their first year of residency. |

The Robert Wood Johnson Clinical Scholars National Program |
|
Fellowship Description: |
The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation has a history of investments that seek to build and maintain a strong and diverse leadership and workforce in health and health care, as well as to help develop specific fields. Over the past 30 years, The Robert Wood Johnson Clinical Scholars® Program has trained almost 1,000 physicians from varied disciplines, many of whom have become national leaders in health and health care. The program augments clinical training by providing skills and perspectives necessary to achieving 21st century leadership positions both within and outside the walls of academia. It stresses training in the quantitative and qualitative sciences underlying health services research and essential to improving health and medical care systems. The programs newest iteration will also emphasize community-based research and leadership training. Community-based participatory research refers to collaboration with communities in order to: 1) define a research issue; 2) develop the research strategy; 3) design research instruments; and, 4) work with the community to recruit subjects and collect data (primary data collection). This also involves ongoing feedback to the community as data are analyzed.
The goal of the program is the integration of Scholarsprevious clinical training with skills in program development and research methodology to help them find solutions for issues in public policy, community health and health services research. To enhance their research productivity, selected Scholars in the cohort entering in 2006 will be eligible for a third year.
The program offers graduate-level study and research as part of a university-based post-residency training program.
Four participating institutions will be recruiting Scholars to begin their programs in July 2006.These institutions are: the University of California, Los Angeles; the University of Michigan; the University of Pennsylvania; and Yale University.
Although their programs vary in design and emphasis, each institution has developed a core structure that introduces Scholars to the basic disciplines and methods used in health care research and each offers formal course-work possibly leading to an additional degree.
Scholars are expected to complete graduate level research projects in their priority areas. To date, Scholars have conducted studies in diverse health-related fields, such as problems of health care delivery and financing, clinical decision-making, biomedical ethics, medical history and health care policy. Each Scholar is supervised jointly by the director of The Robert Wood Johnson Clinical Scholars Program at the participating university and by faculty preceptors from the Scholars chosen priority area. Up to 20 percent of a Scholars time is typically spent in maintaining clinical skills.
Former Scholars are currently involved in academic medicine, government and medical practice. Many are developing and managing health care institutions and delivery systems in a variety of public and private settings; some are contributing to the formulation, conduct and evaluation of health-related public policy. Many also continue active research careers on important topics in health and medical care. |

Fellowship Title: |
Clinical Research Training Fellowship in Psychiatry |
|
Fellowship Description: |
This program is designed to prepare psychiatrists for a career in clinical research. Activities will include preparing clinical research protocols, assessing research patients utilizing standardized instruments, and executing clinical trials and neurobiological studies. The trainee will be involved in ongoing research projects and will be encouraged to develop a research project suitable for publication. The didactic component will include participation in courses on statistics and clinical research design. Fellows will also be trained in laboratory-based measures. Faculty mentors will be selected to match the trainee's areas of interest. Research fellows with appropriate background may also participate in preclinical studies. |

Clinical Research Training in Psychiatry |
|
Fellowship Description: |
The intent of this two-year fellowship is to provide rigorous training in the basic foundation and methodological tools required for clinical investigation in psychiatry. The program is designed to fill educational gaps for post-residency psychiatrists and postdoctoral psychologists. Fellows are trained by attending lectures in basic biological and neurosciences, basic social science issues, research design and statistical analysis, and general skills involving ethical issues, grant writing, and editing. Tutorials and specific course work are offered to remediate deficiencies in research backgrounds. The bulk of the fellow's time is spent working in the mentor's laboratory in collaborative and individually designed projects. The focus of this program is on adult populations. |
