Short-term Training Program
The USIDNET short-term training program is titled the Visiting Immunology Scholar. The program is designed to support the clinical and laboratory training experiences of medical students, residents and fellows. To increase the exposure of interested young physicians or scientists to these diseases, a visiting student elective is offered which provides the opportunity to spend one to two weeks at another medical center which specializes in the study of one or more aspects of primary immune deficiency.
This program is available to MD or MD, PhD candidates, giving them the opportunity to visit a Medical Center with PIDD expertise and a large patient population. This opportunity permits first hand observation of patient evaluation and treatment, familiarization with laboratory techniques, or both.
