The core curriculum and seminar series is an educational curriculum designed by the Department of Pediatrics with the goal to enhance fellowship subspecialty training program experiences with specific educational lectures and discussion groups in order to maximize their educational, research, and individual professional potential. The overall aim is to assist the fellows in making a successful transition from fellowship to early faculty positions as physician-scientists, clinical researchers and academic educators in their subspecialties.
The NC TraCS Institute sponsors a one-week course in the Responsible Conduct of Research organized and run by David Weber, MD, MPH, Director of the NC TraCS Institute Regulatory Core.
