FELLOWSHIPS IN REHABILITATION OUTCOMES RESEARCH.
The UMDNJ/New Jersey Medical School, Department of Physical
Medicine and Rehabilitation, and the Kessler Medical Rehabilitation
Research & Education Corp., announce a 1-2 year advanced research
training
program for professionals interested in objective and subjective
outcomes
experienced by persons with physical or neurological disabilities and
factors that affect these outcomes.
Medical rehabilitation outcomes research encompasses research on
prognosis, measurement of function and health, treatment guidelines,
outcomes management strategies, disability economics, and issues of
health
policy. Controlled research on the effectiveness and costs of
interventions is stressed. Statistical and methodological skills are
stressed in our program (without excluding qualitative investigations,
which are necessary to explore certain topics.)
The training program emphasizes the actual conduct of research,
including writing fundable research proposals and publications.
Fellows
improve their research skills and knowledge of clinical rehabilitation
during the program. The training program is based on an individualized
Research and Training Plans written by each Fellow in collaboration with
a
primary mentor and secondary mentors. Mentors may be chosen from among
many
researchers throughout New Jersey, with special strength in
neuropsychology, physiatry, PT, general outcomes methodology, traumatic
brain injury, spinal cord injury, and other neurological disabilities.
Both pre-doctoral (dissertation level) and post-doctoral
positions
are currently available. For substantive information, contact:
