Training Health Services Scholars
The postdoctoral program at CHOP provides aspiring MD and PhD scientists with an exciting opportunity to participate in groundbreaking, interdisciplinary research. CHOP’s research agenda is focused on many of the most policy-relevant and timely issues in health policy and health services research, including understanding variation and reducing disparities in quality and costs of healthcare, accountable health systems for fostering care coordination and efficiency, and public-private partnerships for accelerating quality improvement on a large scale. Fellows will also have learning opportunities such as writing workshops and research seminars during their time at CHOP.
Throughout this 8 week program over the summer, fellows will learn the fundamentals of writing a CHOP- style manuscript and gain proficiency in coding administrative claims data in STATA. We hope this will help jump start what we will know will be a successful two years for them in our center
The CHOP Fellow Exchange Program is the fellow equivalent of a visiting professorship. Each year CHOP fellows are invited to apply to be selected as a visiting fellow. The fellow has the opportunity to select which institution they visit. A fellow from the partnering institution will also visit CHOP and the University of Michigan Department of Surgery. This exciting program gives fellows a chance to network and learn more about research happening at other institutions.
Fellows can participate in a variety of programs during their time at CHOP.
