Program Description
The clinical chemistry fellowship training program is a 2-year program that will be based in the York Street and neighboring St. Raphael campuses of Yale-New Haven Health. Yale-New Haven Health, primarily located in New Haven, Connecticut, is a non-profit, multispecialty (adult and pediatric) academic medical center that integrates clinical and hospital care with research and education. It is one of the largest hospitals in the country with over 1,541-bed facilities and 7 million clinical chemistry test results/year. The clinical laboratories are directed by the faculty of the Clinical Chemistry Laboratory within the Department of Laboratory Medicine at Yale School of Medicine. In addition to clinical chemistry, the Department of Laboratory Medicine also includes the areas of apheresis/cell therapy/transfusion service, blood bank, flow cytometry, hematology, immunology, microbiology, molecular diagnostics, tumor profiling, and virology. The training program is structured to provide training in the service, teaching, and research aspects of clinical chemistry. This includes 6 months of protected clinical training through rotations, and 6 months of protected research time in the first year alone. In the second year, the fellow can pursue advanced clinical rotations in select areas followed by 6 months of graduated responsibilities to the level appropriate for a laboratory director. In addition, there are ample opportunities to conduct translational research through the Biomarker Translation Laboratory and the Program of Applied Translational Research at Yale University. The program structure is flexible to afford individualized training.
