Fellowship Training, Department of Laboratory Medicine at Yale

Fellowship Training

The Department offers ACGME-accredited clinical fellowship training in three major areas of Laboratory Medicine: Blood Banking and Transfusion Medicine, Microbiology and Hematology-Hematopathology. All three are one year fellowships that include the opportunity for translational and clinical research to be carried out as part of the clinical training period. In addition, the Department has a specialized basic and translational post-doctoral research training grant program in the broad field of Immunohematology that provides the opportunity to work in the laboratory of a large number of Yale faculty members drawn from our own department as well as from a number of other basic science and clinical departments in the Medical School (Immunobiology, Genetics, Cell Biology, Pathology, Internal Medicine, Bioengineering and Pharmacology). The research training program can be taken as a second or subsequent year of training following clinical fellowship training, or following residency training in AP, CP or AP/CP or following training in another relevant discipline (e.g., Internal Medicine-Hematology) - it is not necessary to have carried out one's clinical training at Yale to apply for the research training program. For individuals with an MD degree who may be interested in carrying out research training and simultaneously obtaining a PhD degree, there are also opportunities for such a program through the innovative Yale program for physician-scientists in Investigative Medicine. Other "hybrid" clinical and/or research programs are possible to arrange on an individualized basis. Follow the links below to learn more about these fellowship opportunities:
