Research Training Program

Geriatric Clinical Epidemiology and Aging Related Research (T32)

The Section of Geriatrics at Yale offers a two to three year training program in Geriatric Clinical Epidemiology and Aging-Related Research, sponsored by the National Institute on Aging. The goal of the program is to provide highly qualified fellows (MDs or PhDs) with research skills in geriatric clinical epidemiology and an intensive research experience
under the mentorship of experienced investigators in geriatric medicine and gerontology. Trainees, including subspecialty fellows, will have access to resources and expertise through the Geriatric Medicine Program, the Program on Aging/Claude D. Pepper Older Americans Independence Center, the Program in Clinical Epidemiology/Robert Wood Johnson Clinical Scholars Program, and the Investigative Medicine Program.

Candidates should be committed to an academic career in aging-related research and must have completed their doctoral training in their subspeciality field before the start of the program. Candidates must also be a US Citizen or Permanent Residents.
