Training future doctors to address health disparities in various medical fields.
This proposed R13 application will focus on Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism, HIV/AIDS, Gastroenterology, Cardiology, Pulmonology, Nephrology, and Oncology subspecialty topics.
This program is designed to help new doctors who want to build their careers in academic medicine, especially in areas like hormone health, heart health, and HIV/AIDS, by giving them the skills, support, and connections they need to succeed and make a difference in healthcare.
