Professional Training

Our Commitment to Training

The Behavioral Medicine Program (BMED) is very involved in training the next generation of behavioral medicine researchers through both Predoctoral and Postdoctoral Training opportunities. 

Behavioral Medicine Training Goals

Short-term training goals

  • Provide state-of-the-art training in evidence based treatments to highly talented predoctoral fellows on clinical internship year.
  • Develop and provide curriculum and opportunities for research productivity and supervision for pre- and post-doctoral fellows

 

Long-term training goals

  • Recruit trainees with a documented track record of academic productivity (based on independent funding and/or scholarly productivity) in content areas that are in line with the BMED mission (e.g., HIV/AIDS, LGBT health, etc.).
  • Support recruitment and ongoing training of pre/post doctoral fellows from under-represented groups
  • Continue to secure funding pathways for interns who would like to complete a postdoc with BMED and launch their independent careers with BMED.
  • Provide tailored effective mentoring and support for successful transition to independence for trainees from underrepresented groups
  • Standardize “pathway to K”
  • Develop new rotations (generalist BMED experiences)
