The fellowship training program in Clinical Pharmacology is designed primarily to address the widely recognized shortage of well-trained physician scientists who conduct hands-on studies in humans.

A one- to two-year program in which the microbiology fellow participates in extended rotations through each area of the laboratory, including Bacteriology, Mycology, Mycobacteriology, Virology, Parasitology, and Molecular Diagnostics. Fellows regularly consult in matters related to patient care. Fellows are encouraged to pursue individual research projects in conjunction with faculty members.

Participants gain the skills necessary to design and conduct clinical investigations of emerging medical treatments and technologies, and to apply new diagnostic techniques and approaches to the study of human pathophysiology.

With some limitations, postdoctoral fellows may register for courses for credit without being subject to tuition charges in the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and the Bloomberg School of Public Health (16-credit limit). In addition, many courses may be audited. Please review Postdoctoral Fellow Course Registration Procedures.
