Research

The majority of the second and third years are dedicated to research/scholarly activity with clinical responsibilities limited to continuity clinics and some on-call responsibility. Each fellow has a Scholarship Oversight Committee responsible for providing direction and oversight of the fellow’s research experiences.

Research Project

  • First year fellows are given time to explore research opportunities, choose projects and establish mentoring relationships.
  • Trainees can select laboratory-based basic, translational or clinical research opportunities through the NIH, the Children’s National Research Institute at Children's National and with attending physicians in rheumatology.
  • Applicants interested in research training at the NIH are strongly encouraged to identify and meet with potential mentors during the interview process to ensure feasibility and facilitate planning.
