What's New? Expanded Program
The Molecular Medicine Training Program is now expanding to include fellows coming not only from the Categorical Medicine Program, but will also include new fellow members from the departments of Dermatology, Pediatrics,Laboratory Medicine and Pathology.
Increased Number of Positions Available in Molecular Medicine Training Program
The Molecular Medicine Training Program will now make available (14) slots for incoming fellows in the department of Medicine,Dermatology, Pediatrics, Laboratory Medicine and Pathology.
Stipend Increase
The Molecular Medicine Training Program will now offer stipends matching the post graduate year clinical scale, starting at PGY 4 and growing to PGY 6.
Educational Stipend Increase
The Molecular Medicine Training Program will now offer $1,000 annual educational stipends for all fellows during their laboratory years (as of 7/1/04).
