Study Abroad / Exchange
Collaborative Program in India
In the context of collaborative clinical trials conducted at the MGR
Medical University's Mother-to-Infant HIV-1 Transmission (MTCT) Center
in Namakkul, India, we propose to train 4 students (undergraduates, medical
students, medical residents, junior faculty or postdoctoral fellows)
each year for a total of 20 over five years. The training program would
include a core HIV-1 curriculum focusing on the epidemiology, pathogenesis,
medical complications associated with immunodeficiency, and on the design
and conduct of clinical trials and statistical analyses applicable to
these studies. Subsequently, individualized training tailored to the
student will be conducted on a one-to-one basis and will focus on the
design and conduct of a clinical trial or on laboratory assays necessary
to support the trial. For more information contact Ann Melvin. MD ann.melvin@seattlechildrens.org
