The overall goal of this institutional training grant is to develop creative and independent investigators in cardiovascular disease epidemiology. All trainees participate in a structured schedule of didactic course work, journal club, seminar series, and program-specific research in progress meetings, "hands-on" analysis of existing data sets and a thesis research project involving original data collection. Within the overall context of cardiovascular disease epidemiology, trainees have a broad understanding of disease pathophysiology and clinical management.
