Research Training
The PICU Clinical, Basic & Translational Research Program is directed by Kenneth Remy, MD. Faculty members lead active research programs which span basic science, clinical, translational, qualitative, and educational research. Our team includes multiple research coordinators along with the part-time support of data managers and biostatisticians. With a breadth of expertise and under guided mentorship, fellows have the opportunity to craft rigorous, innovative and individualized projects, serving as stepping stones in their career development. Our fellows routinely present their work at major meetings like the SCCM Congress and the AAP National Conference.
CWRU School of Medicine Available Resources
Since 1843, Case Western Reserve University’s (CWRU) School of Medicine has been at the forefront of medical education, dedicated to enhancing human health, and a leader and innovator in healthcare education and biomedical research. As a major research enterprise, the School of Medicine is committed to providing researchers with the resources needed to conduct studies spanning all areas of biomedical and health science research. Specifically, the School of Medicine provides Core Facilities which are scientific centers that support research by providing state-of-the-art equipment, technology, and services that are costly and technical and not practical for each lab to provide. Currently there are over 40 Service Centers providing research services and technologies to CWRU and external investigators.
Certificate Programs
University Hospitals has partnered with Northeast Ohio Medical University (NEOMED) to offer two certificate programs available to our trainees:
Fellowship in Academic Medicine Excellence – Clinical Education (FAME-E)
The FAME-E program equips clinicians, nurses and other healthcare professionals with the skills needed to become effective educators. This comprehensive 10-month program offers three pathways tailored to your professional goals:
- Teaching Innovation: Curriculum Design; Assessment Strategies; Teaching with Technology; Scenario-Based Learning; Scholarly Teaching Project
- Leadership and Development: Program Leadership; Mentoring/Coaching; Organizational Strategy; Addressing Difficult Topics; Scholarly Leadership Project
- Community and Social Impact: Community Health, Equity in Medical Education; Social Determinants of Health; Program Evaluation, Scholarly Community Project
Fellowship in Academic Medicine Excellence – Research (FAME-R)
FAME-R is designed for physicians (trainees included), nursing faculty/staff, pharmacist and other healthcare professionals who want to learn the skills needed to conduct basic, clinical or health services research. This 6-month program is intended for clinicians who want to learn more about research methodology but have never received formal training on the subject.
With the completion of this program, learners will be able to develop a research question, design a research protocol and understand different approaches to data analysis and reporting. Learners will apply these skills to develop a study protocol and perform analyses of sample data sets related to their areas of interest as part of regular assignments.
Pediatric Acute Lung Injury & Sepsis Investigators (PALISI) Clinical Research Course
Fellows have the opportunity to apply for the PALISI Clinical Research Course, offered just ahead of the PALISI meetings.
