The clinical / translational research component of the Mechanism of Disease graduate track is composed of several distinct components: attendance at DCS course 5103 "Clinical Research Questions and Methods", attendance at IRB meetings, rotation on one of the inpatient clinical ward service attending rounds, and participation in a mentored clinical research project.

The listings below identify mentors who have agreed to potentially host students in their research groups in the Summer of 2008. Project summaries are hyperlinked to the project numbers. 

Please contact the investigators directly to discuss the projects ongoing in their research groups. All are in Group Wise.  After finalizing your choice, please notify Drs. McPhaul and Yin. 

Assignments for IRB meetings and inpatient service rounds will be scheduled as we approach the beginning of the rotations. In 2008, the rotations will begin July 14 and will end August 8.

General Outline of the Rotation Schedule

In addition to class and attendance at clinical rounds, students will completed required HIPAA training, be assigned IRB protocols, and attend two IRB meetings during their rotation.
