Fellowship in Academic Medicine- Clinical Research

A program that is designed for clinicians and health professions educators who wish to improve their skills as clinical researchers and scholars. With the completion of this program, learners will be able to understand the characteristics of biomedical research, develop a research question and design a research plan, as well as understand types of data analysis used in biomedical research. Learners will apply these skills to develop a proposed clinical research protocol and apply analyses to sample clinical data as part of weekly assignments. Learning materials will be presented in asynchronous online modules along with reading materials to reinforce the online content. As part of the FAME-R program, instructors will be available for 3 hours per week online for learner guidance. Bi-weekly in person meetings of the class will allow interaction and discussion of course topics and research plans. At the end of the course, learners will present their research plan as a final project.
