The Center for Gerontology and Health Care Research

Postdoctoral Program


Program Goals

The goals of the program are threefold:

• to train both physician and non-physician researchers

• to give trainees didactic as well as “hands-on” supervised experience in health services research

• to teach health services research methods as well as content material relevant to gerontology, longterm care, and chronic disease management

The program has openings for five postdoctoral fellows. Applicants must hold an M.D. (and be in the process of basic clinical training) or a Ph.D. in sociology, epidemiology, economics, or another, related field. Application review begins upon receipt and continues until the positions are filled. Read on for a description of the program and an application form.
