Instructions
Program Description
The goal of the postdoctoral program in clinical chemistry at the University of Virginia is to prepare fellows for careers that may combine academic and clinical pursuits, including service, teaching and research. The fellowship is focused on an in-depth study of laboratory medicine, with emphasis in the areas of clinical chemistry, toxicology, laboratory management, laboratory computing, immunological testing and evidence-based laboratory medicine. Additional time in hematology, coagulation and microbiology is available for fellows who wish to be prepared to direct a core laboratory. Fellows are integrated into laboratory rotations with pathology residents, clinical activities with residents and clinical departments’ attendings, notably in the Divisions of General Medicine, Endocrinology and Hematology-Oncology in the Department of Internal Medicine and the Division of Clinical Toxicology in the Department of Emergency Medicine. Training during the first year is intended to be sufficient for the Fellow to sit for the American Board of Clinical Chemistry exam at the end of the first year.
