To prepare the trainee for a possible career in Academic Medicine, the program allows maximum flexibility in areas that will potentially benefit the trainee to be competitive as a junior faculty member. We offer a wide range of outstanding training opportunities in perinatal/neonatal research that are supervised by excellent mentors either located within the Division or in affiliated Departments. (http://www.peds.med.ufl.edu/research) Trainees can elect to participate in the following areas:
- Basic/Translational Biology
- Neuroscience
- Cardiology
- Immunology/Infectious Diseases
- Gastroenterology & Nutrition
- Hematology
- Fetal & Neonatal Physiology
- Vascular Biology
- Cellular and Molecular Therapy

Trainees will work closely with the faculty mentors in project development, execution and analysis. Ample opportunities to present at local and national meetings are given. Experience in manuscript and grant preparation is obtained. At the end of the fellowship training, the fellow will be at a stage to submit a K-type or similar award for research funding.
Advanced Postgraduate Program in Clinical Investigation
(http://www.medicine.ufl.edu/appci/)
Supported by an NIH K-30, fellows can choose a pathway into clinical investigation. Formal training in clinical investigation includes graduate coursework in study design, databases, ethical conduct of research, biostatistics and related courses. Fellows will take a clinical study of their choosing and develop it through the program. At the programs conclusion, fellows may receive: 1) Master’s Science in Clinical Investigation, 2) Master’s Science in Epidemiology, 3) Master’s of Public Health (MPH)
