A collaboration between the center and clinical departments/divisions, the Kern Scholars Program trains clinicians to use tools from applied sciences, such as epidemiology, statistics, economics and sociology to rigorously assess and improve patient-centered outcomes and health care delivery systems.

New scholars are funded annually within one of two tracks:

  • Faculty Track: 2-year, mentored 40% FTE faculty track protected time (20% paid by CSHCD and 20% paid by home department); or
  • Trainee Track:  1- or 2-year clinical resident or fellow track (>90%  FTE) during the training program’s scheduled research year(s).

Please join us in welcoming the following new scholars as they begin their program in July 2016!
