Cardiovascular Outcomes Research Fellowship

The Smith Center Fellowship

The first of its kind in Boston, the Richard A. and Susan F. Smith Center for Outcomes Research in Cardiology places the Division of Cardiovascular Medicine and BIDMC at the forefront of a field that will only become more critical in the years ahead as health care reform places a greater emphasis on providing high-quality, cost-effective care that is centered on the patient.

The Smith Center offers a fellowship training program for researchers interested in studying cardiovascular outcomes. The fellowship provides early career cardiologists with an opportunity to develop the expertise and skills needed to advance their portfolio in outcomes research.

The fellow will undertake formal training at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health in research methodology, develop novel research ideas, apply for grants, conduct research and publish their findings. They will be expected to submit abstracts at national and international conferences, and develop relationships within the broader research community focusing on this specialized field of research in both academia and industry.
