Curriculum

We offer a formalized 2-year curriculum that consists of 75% time conducting mentored research, a departmental seminar series, and teaching within our PharmD curriculum. Fellows will gain direct experience designing and conducting clinical-translational research, and preparing manuscripts and grants. These skills will be developed primarily through participation in ongoing research projects under the experienced mentorship of Clinical Pharmacy Faculty.

Advisors

Our faculty conduct collaborative clinical-translational research that generally focuses within Precision Pharmacotherapy and Health Services Research. CPTS Fellows will work directly with a primary advisor from our research-focused faculty members. Faculty who may be willing to accept a fellow include Drs. Dorsch, Lester, Farris, Hertz, Mitrzyk, Pai, Pasternak, Pogue J, Smith, Stringer, Ward, and Zhu.

Admissions

Applicants for the CPTS Post-Doctoral Fellowship with a PhD degree or a PharmD (or other Professional Doctoral degree) with significant research experience are encouraged to apply. Applicants with minimal research experience interested in focused research training should consider applying for the CPTS PhD Program or the MSIPS Program. Most fellows begin the program in July.

In order to apply for the CPTS Fellowship Program you must identify a fellowship advisor from our research-focused faculty. You should reach out directly to potential advisors to determine whether they are accepting fellowship applications. If applications are being accepted, then please submit the following to that advisor:

  1. A letter of interest that describes your prior research, interest in our fellowship program, and future career goals
  2. Curriculum vitae
  3. Unofficial academic transcripts
  4. Three (3) letters of recommendation
