Strategic Vision and Mission
There have been tremendous advances in biomedical sciences over the past several decades that should lead to significant advancements in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of kidney, benign urologic and benign hematologic (KUH) diseases. Unfortunately, over the past several decades, we have also seen reductions in the number of young physicians and scientists who are interested in lifelong careers in biomedical research. The main objective of our training program is to provide an intensive and structured research experience for both physicians and non-physician trainees and to foster the development of the skills needed to pursue a successful career in investigative nephrology, benign urology and benign hematology.
Trainee Expectations:
Trainees are expected to commit to the following:
Predoctoral trainees meet biyearly with a thesis committee
Postdoctoral trainees meet biyearly with an advisory committee.
Trainees participate in a U2C-funded program, focusing on networking and professionalism
Trainees agree to complete PCT:KUH surveys during and after TL1 training
Trainees meet with TL1 leadership twice yearly to review progress
Trainees attend a bimonthly research seminar sponsored by PCT:KUH
Trainees participate in an annual PCT:KUH retreat
