Under the direction of WashU Medicine Clinician-Researchers Rita Brookheart, PhD, Dominic Reeds, MD, and Arpita Vyas, MD, DCH, this program offers postbaccalaureate scholars an intensive two-year mentored research experience in diabetes, endocrinology, and metabolic diseases (DEM), career development opportunities, networking, and assistance with the graduate school application process to ultimately complete a research-focused biomedical degree program (PhD or MD/PhD).
Selected scholars will not only receive a mentored, full-time research experience in DEM, but also didactic coursework, professional development seminars, conferences, retreats, and comprehensive guidance throughout the graduate school application process.
Applications are closed.
We are no longer accepting applications for the current cycle.
For questions, please contact crtcpostbacc@wustl.edu.
These highly skilled postbaccs will benefit from protected time to develop research skills and strengthen their understanding of the ethics and methodologies utilized in biomedical research, so they are further motivated to pursue a future career in DEM-related research.
