The Durham VA Medical Center offers Advanced Fellowships in Health Services Research. This two-year program provides physicians with the research, clinical and teaching skills to become successful investigators in health services research. Fellows collaborate with MD and PhD investigators who have diverse and complementary backgrounds.

Throughout their fellowships, fellows will work closely with a faculty mentor or mentors from the ADAPT at Durham VA.
