Doris Duke Charitable Foundation Clinical Research Fellowship (CRF) Program for Medical Students

Overview

Structure

Of the fellows selected each year, two fellows are chosen from medical schools without CRF programs, assuming that highly-qualified candidates from such institutions have submitted applications.

The fellowship consists of both a research and a didactic component over the course of one academic year and includes student presentations, interactive discussions, and informal sessions throughout. Each fellow is matched to an outstanding clinical research team. Towards the end of the year, students and their mentors will attend a national meeting where they will present the results of their research and have the opportunity to meet other participants.
