General Internal Medicine Fellowship Program
The University of Pittsburgh General Internal Medicine Fellowship Program is a 2-year program designed to prepare future leaders in academic general internal medicine. The program is broadly divided into two tracks that represent the major career paths of academic generalists.
Fellowship Tracks
The Clinician-Researcher Track is for individuals who wish to pursue a career in clinical research. This track provides the skills and experiences necessary to develop, execute, interpret, and secure funding for clinical and health services research studies. The foundation of this track is the Master of Science in Clinical Research Program, sponsored by the Institute for Clinical Research Education (ICRE). Fellows in the track complete a mentored research project, develop a full-length grant proposal ready for submission, and participate in the clinical and teaching activities of the Division of General Internal Medicine.
The Clinician-Educator Track is designed to train future leaders in medical education. The foundation of this track is the Master of Science in Medical Education Program, which is also sponsored by the ICRE. Fellows in this track follow an integrated program of didactic material and precepted teaching experiences to enhance their skills in classroom and clinical instruction, curriculum development, professional leadership, medical education, and medical administration. In addition, they take core research curriculum courses offered through the ICRE, complete a mentored research or curriculum development project, and participate in the clinical and teaching activities of the Division of General Internal Medicine.
Fellowship Areas of Concentration
Fellows in either track may further concentrate their efforts on a particular area of interest, including the following: Health Services Research, Clinical Epidemiology, Women's Health, Palliative Care, Medicine-Pediatrics, Underserved Populations, and Health Care Disparities.
