Postdoctoral Research Fellowship
Multi-Disciplinary Training Program in
Cardiovascular Imaging @ Stanford (CVIS)
An NIH/NIBIB Training Program
Michael V McConnell, MD, MSEE, Program Director
Program Overview
The Multi-Disciplinary Training Program in Cardiovascular Imaging @ Stanford (CVIS) is funded by the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering of the National Institutes of Health to bring together post-doctoral fellows and faculty from three complementary areas – clinical, engineering, and molecular imaging – to train the next generation of CV imaging investigators for successful careers. With the impact of cardiovascular disease on US and world health and the rapid advances in imaging technologies and cardiovascular biology, it is critical that fellows be provided a broad, multi-disciplinary, and collaborative training program to foster their ability to translate CV imaging research into clinical application.
The CVIS will train 4 post-doctoral fellows from MD and PhD backgrounds together over a two-year period beginning July 2009, combining CV imaging research with a structured educational program. There are 16 faculty mentors from the Schools of Medicine and Engineering, including Cardiovascular Medicine, Radiology, Molecular Imaging, Electrical Engineering, and Bioengineering.
