Children's Hospital of Philadelphia Cardiac Center Fellowships »

An important mission of the Cardiac Center is to train future leaders in pediatric cardiac care. Physicians trained at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia have gone on to lead major programs at centers nationwide and make immeasurable contributions to the field. Fellowships include: Anesthesiology and Critical Care Medicine, Cardiology, Cardiothoracic Surgery, and Electrophysiology.

Radiology Department Fellowships »

The Cardiovascular imaging (CVI) fellowship program is designed to develop broad-based expertise in all forms of non-invasive CV imaging, and image processing. Upon completion of the program, fellows will be able to image all forms of cardiovascular disease with appropriate tools and to answer clinical questions with a greater degree of expertise and freedom than is generally available currently. This training program is associated with the ACGME-accredited University of Pennsylvania Diagnostic Radiology Residency and Interventional Radiology Fellowship programs.

Institute for Translational Medicine and Therapeutics (ITMAT) / Masters in Translational Research (MTR) »

The main objective of this program is to improve the quality of clinical research training by providing didactic courses in the fundamental skills needed for translational research. Through the further development of a graduate program in translational Research (MTR) that will provide in depth instruction in the fundamental skills, methodology, and principles necessary for the well trained independent clinical investigator we hope to provide an internal framework for PENN faculty and MDs enrolled in a fellowship program at Penn which will enable them to pursue a career in translational research.

School of Arts and Sciences and Penn Engineering / Masters in Biotechnology »

The breadth of Penn's Master of Biotechnology Program and its cross-disciplinary approach prepare students with the knowledge and skills they need for leadership in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries. According to their interests, background and career goals, students can choose from one of four parallel tracks or a dual-degree MBA/MB Management Track.

Biomedical Imaging and Informational Sciences / PhD Training Program »

The Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) is partnered with the NIH National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) to support a new Interfaces Program at the University of Pennsylvania for PhD training in Imaging Sciences. The objective is to develop a cadre of scientists with the knowledge and skills to conduct research at the interface between clinically-related imaging and biomedical, physical, chemical, engineering, and computational sciences.

Penn Cardiovascular Institute / Vascular Medicine Training Program »

The curriculum for the Penn Vascular Medicine Training Program comprises a clinical training segment (year 1) and a clinical research training segment (years 2 and 3). During clinical training, Trainees will rotate through a number of core and elective vascular medicine services, under the supervision of senior physician, many of who are also involved in administration or research mentoring roles within the Training Program. The rotations for the clinical component have been chosen to take advantage of Penn’s highly specialized areas of vascular medicine, including thrombosis, vasculitis, vascular imaging, and wound care, as well as related services in vascular surgery, interventional radiology, and neurology. A special rotation in vascular pathology is available at the Cardiovascular Pathology Institute in Washington, D.C.

Center for Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics (CCEB) / Various Programs »

The CCEB offers formal, degree-granting training programs leading to a Master of Science in Clinical Epidemiology (MSCE) or PhD in Epidemiology degree. These programs, designed specifically for clinicians, provide formal training in clinical investigation for those who seek tenure-track careers as independent NIH-funded investigators in academic clinical research. Training grants are available to support stipends and tuition for trainees with research interests in many content areas, including cardiovascular epidemiology. The CCEB also offers a Clinical Research Certificate Program, which is available to clinicians interested in less intense training than what is provided through the degree-granting programs. The Certificate Program is designed primarily for residents, fellows, and faculty who envision careers as collaborative researchers.

Biomedical Graduate Studies (BGS) / Various Programs »

Biomedical Graduate Studies (BGS) serves as the academic home within the University of Pennsylvania for roughly 675 graduate students pursing a PhD in the basic biomedical sciences. The program is organized into seven graduate programs: Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics, Cell and Molecular Biology, Epidemiology and Biostatistics, Genomics and Computational Biology, Immunology, Neuroscience, and Pharmacological Sciences.Two affiliated graduate groups, Biology and Bioengineering, are not administered by BGS but overlap with BGS groups in faculty membership, course offerings, and other program attributes.

Biomedical Postdoctoral Programs (BPP) / Various Programs »

The University of Pennsylvania has long been recognized for its belief in the importance of education and its pursuit of excellence. The office of Biomedical Postdoctoral Programs (BPP) works to uphold this tradition by providing biomedical postdocs in the School of Medicine, School of Veterinary Medicine, and School of Dental Medicine with the highest quality training in and outside of the labs. From its first-rate programming series to its emphasis on career development as well as personal development, BPP works to enhance the life of biomedical postdocs. In addition, BPP provides administrative support to both mentors and postdoctoral appointees so that the latter can focus on research training and professional development.

Penn Bioengineering / Various Programs »

Penn Bioengineering Graduate Group Faculty Members engage in a variety of research areas, such as: Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Cell and Tissue Mechanics, Molecular Engineering, Drug and Gene Delivery, Bioinformatics, Biomaterials, and many more. Penn Bioengineering research includes programs in the School of Engineering and Applied Science, the School of Arts and Sciences, Penn's School of Medicine, the Dental, and Veterinary Schools and Institute for Medicine and Engineering (IME).
