Training Activities
In the Hypertension & Vascular Research Center, there are three active NIH-funded training programs. The first is “Post-baccalaureate Research Education Program” (PREP) under the direction of Dr. Debra Diz. This NHLBI funded training program has 12 slots for trainees. The unique aspects of this training program are to provide a transition between undergraduate and graduate school for under-represented minorities. The second training grant is the “Excellence in Cardiovascular Sciences” (EICS) summer program for minority students. This program funded by NHLBI funds 12 positions for summer research experiences. This program has been in existence for 15 years. A new program provides opportunities for science majors to visit Brazil. The "U.S.-Brazil Biomedical Science Exchange" (BSE) program is for graduate and undergraduate students to participate in independent study in Brazil and experience Brazilian culture and language.
Additional training includes graduate level and post-doctoral opportunities. Trainees from Physiology & Pharmacology, Neurosciences, Molecular Medicine and Molecular Genetics are supported in laboratories of the Hypertension & Vascular Research Center faculty. Faculty members also participate in graduate education as committee members throughout the graduate school. National and international scholars also hold post-doctoral fellowships with members of the faculty and a long-standing relationship with investigators from Japan ensures a strong program in post-graduate education. Information on WFUSM graduate programs can be found at: http://www2.wfubmc.edu/graduate/. Information about availability of post-doctoral or other training opportunities can be obtained by contacting the particular faculty member of interest. |
