Research Training in Microbial Diseases
Summary
Currently led by Dr. Sara Cosgrove, the Johns Hopkins Division of Infectious Diseases has offered this research training program since 1986. The ultimate goal of the program is to develop academic leaders in infectious diseases by 1) providing a dynamic, highly collaborative training environment with outstanding research opportunities, particularly for those interested in international ID; 2) providing a structured supportive training process that consistently trains research-naïve physicians producing productive physician-investigators who have successfully competed for extramural funds after program graduation; and 3) promoting the academic success of physician-investigators from underrepresented groups and women, critical for the future creditability of academic medicine.
