Overview of Pathway Curriculum
This three-year pathway integrates residents who plan careers as physician-scientists in an environment supported by mentors, sponsors, and departmental commitment in order to:
- create opportunities to apply and grow scientific thinking
- sustain commitment to research as a pursuit, profession, and career development pathway
- increase core skills
- help participants achieve the next career milestone, which often are subspecialty fellowships that incorporate formal research training
Our Primary Care Track and Categorical Track residents may apply to join the pathway early in their intern year.
Residents planning to follow the ABIM Research Pathway or Global Health Pathway are ineligible.
