Fellowships
GENERAL INTERNAL MEDICINE
The General Medicine Fellowship is a two-year program for General Internists who want to be leaders in Education, Administration, Policy or Research. Graduates have the opportunity for personal development in one of the four areas of their choice. The fellowship provides the skills and experiences necessary to excel in the role of medical leadership.
The GIM fellowship is designed to broaden the professional skills of General Internists. The curriculum focuses on all four major areas and can be tailored to the individual fellow's needs. Major activities include the choice of a master’s level degree from USU (MPHE, MPH, or MHA), the Stanford Faculty Development Seminar, supervised teaching experiences of medical students and residents, mentored research projects, teaching of critical appraisal, and presentations at national meetings. Internists who already have an MPH may certainly apply, and then spend more time during the fellowship in their area(s) of interest.
Our graduates have subsequently become Program Directors, Department Chiefs at Uniformed Services University, Chiefs of Graduate Medical Education, Chiefs of the General Medicine Service, Chiefs of Medicine, Chiefs of Medical Research, Deputy Chiefs of Clinical Services, and Hospital Commanders. Graduates frequently support high-level hospital committees and have advised on DHA clinical guidelines and Military Treatment Facility hospital and ambulatory clinical policy. In addition, graduates have produced an average of 18 publications in peer-reviewed journals, to include manuscripts in such prestigious journals such as JAMA and the Annals of Internal Medicine.

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Clinical Pharmacology is concerned with bettering the understanding and use of existing drugs, and development of more effective and safer drugs for the future. Clinical Pharmacology stands between the research lab and the bedside, in a unique position to translate laboratory research into new drug therapies. Clinical pharmacologists are a bridge between the science and practice of medicine.
ELIGIBILITY
The Clinical Pharmacology training program is available to active duty Army physicians who are board eligible/certified in a primary specialty and active duty Army PhDs/PharmDs(71A, 71B, or 67E) who have a doctoral degree in one of the life or medical sciences from an accredited academic institution in the United States, Canada, or non-U.S. degree equivalent. A research background, mathematical inclination, and pharmacology/medical experience is preferred. Civilians could be considered if they joined the Army and successfully compete for a position in the program.
