Barbara Davis Center for Childhood Diabetes
Education Overview
The faculty of the Barbara Davis Center for Childhood Diabetes participates in a number of teaching activities. Medical students rotate through the Center on elective half-day rotations. Participants from the Child Health Associate/Physician Assistant Program, along with endocrine fellows, also rotate through the Center. Basic science faculty provide mentorship to predoctoral students (primarily in immunology research) and postdoctoral fellows from around the world.
Additionally, the Barbara Davis Center has an active predoctoral and postdoctoral research training program which includes both basic and clinical scientists and covers a range of disciplines, including immunology, biochemistry, cellular and molecular biology and population genetics. Studentships and fellowships are currently provided from National Institutes of Health (NIH) training grants in immunology and pediatrics, individual Juvenile Diabetes Foundation International Research Fellowships and American Diabetes Association Career Development and Mentor-Based Fellowship Awards. The Center also annually awards the O'Brien Physician-Scientist Fellowship Award and the Blum-Kovler Postdoctoral Research Award. Please visit the Barbara Davis Center's own website for more detailed fellowship program information.
