A challenging and innovative curriculum

While training at CHAM, Einstein and other affiliated sites, fellows obtain rich clinical, educational and research experiences in inpatient and outpatient settings. Our departmental Fellows’ Research Course provides trainees with a longitudinal curriculum covering the material recommended by the ABP and ACGME for fellowship training in research. Fellows present their research at local, regional and national meetings, and have the opportunity to pursue additional education through our Clinical Research Training Program. Additional curricula provide fellows with an opportunity to study quality improvement and professional development, and fellows are exposed to topics related to diversity, equity and inclusion while attending seminars dedicated to those topics.
