Research Fellowship

Fellows spend the majority of time designing, carrying out, analyzing, and disseminating their own independent research. Fellows receive training in research presentation, writing, publishing, and funding. Fellows have the opportunity to earn a Masters level degree, in such programs as Public Health, Health Services and Outcomes Research, or Healthcare Quality and Patient Safety, Biostatistics or Clinical Investigation through the Northwestern University Center for Education in Health Sciences. Fellows will be appointed as Post- Doctoral Fellow with a courtesy appointment of Instructor within the Department of Medicine.

Salary will be commensurate with education and experience.

Fellows will spend 2 half-days per week providing clinical care in a General Internal Medicine Primary Care Practice.

The Department of Medicine at Northwestern University seeks to attract inquisitive, motivated residents and fellows and is committed to providing them with every opportunity for success. The greatest challenges facing the medical field are complex, and addressing them will require a diverse body of physicians and researchers who can work collaboratively. Northwestern offers unparalleled training and research opportunities and encourages fellowship applications from those who seek to become future leaders in the subspecialties of medicine. We are committed to and inspired by a diverse and inclusive work environment that allows each trainee to achieve their personal goals.
