More than 70 clinical fellows were invited to network with graduate medical education
training program directors, other NIH staff, Institute and Center Scientific and Clinical
Directors, and NIH leadership at a reception in the Clinical Center. NIH attracts diverse
talent from medical schools and institutions across the U.S., offering the opportunity
to train at the 240-bed Clinical Center, the world’s largest hospital dedicated to clinical
research. Individuals are coming to the NIH because they know that the value added to
their training is in the area of training and research methodology and opportunities
to have support in conducting their own research projects and the ability then to have a portfolio
to take with them should they decide to leave the NIH, that allows them to be highly competitive
relative to academic positions. Eighteen medical specialty or subspecialty programs accredited
by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education are available, as well as
numerous one-of-a-kind translational medicine fellowship training programs within the 27
Institutes and Centers of the NIH. Being a clinical fellow is brand new to me. I am just
sort of getting my feet wet and figuring out how the wide world of clinical research works.
