Fellowship/Teaching Programs

Fellowship/Teaching general statement is unavailable at this time

The Cecil G. Sheps Center for Health Services Research at UNC-CH offers a wide variety of opportunities for students and fellows from several disciplines to participate in multidisciplinary research. With support from the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research, the Center offers fellowships for both pre-doctoral and post-doctoral study. Post-doctoral fellowships funded by the National Institute of Mental Health are also available for post-doctoral study in the field of mental health services and systems research. The Center is host to NRSA fellowships in Health Services Research, Mental Health Services and Systems Research, and Primary Care Research. In addition, the Center and the UNC-CH School of Medicine co-sponsor the Robert Wood Johnson Clinical Scholars Program.

The Clinical Research Curriculum (NIH - K30 RR 022267) provides courses and career development activities for senior fellows who have finished their clinical training as well as for junior faculty who wish to develop the skills and competencies necessary to become an independently-funded investigator in clinical research.  The foundation for the K30 didactics is based on our 25-year history with the Robert Wood Johnson Clinical Scholars Program and our General Clinical Research Center's training programs. Course credit can be applied to several degree programs.   Participation as a K30 Scholar requires 70% protected time, research mentors,and a research project to be conducted over a minimum of a 2-year period.

The UNC Preventive Medicine Residency offers two years of training, the academic year and the practicum year. The academic year consists of full-time course work in one of several departments of the School of Public Health, leading to the MPH degree. The practicum year is a closely supervised experience that primarily involves completion of a specific preventive medicine research project and an experience in a public health agency. Most successful applicants to the UNC Preventive Medicine Residency have already completed a residency in a primary care specialty.
