The training program includes the approved PhD curriculum and quarterly proseminars dealing specifically with critical analysis of research issues related to symptoms.
Proseminars include (Fall) bio-psychosocial and cultural influences on perception, evaluation and response to symptoms, (Winter) management strategies for individuals and families, and (Spring) valid and reliable measures of outcomes such as quality of life, health care utilization, and cost (Spring).
These proseminars may be repeated for credit during the trainee's program of study. More involvement and higher expectations are required as trainees advance in the program.
In addition to the required courses in the School of Nursing, trainees will have an opportunity to take courses at the Berkeley campus of the University of California, and at Stanford University. They also have the opportunity to participate in courses and weekly conferences and specialty grand rounds offered through the Schools of Medicine, Dentistry, and Pharmacy at UCSF.
Predoctoral trainees do research residencies with funded research teams on pain, dyspnea, or sleep/fatigue. The residencies focus on learning skills related to data collection and management, assessment, measurement in human and animal models, and grant management. These experiences are facilitated by active involvement in a core faculty member's research.
After predoctoral students have passed their qualifying examination, proseminars also offer an opportunity to complete a teaching residency.
Postdoctoral training is tailored to individual needs focused on complex issues and advanced methodologies related to symptoms. In addition to the Fall, Winter, and Spring proseminars, the Summer Quarter offers a seminar on grants management and grant writing activities that include abstracts, progress reports, and final reports. Additional time is spent in weekly scholarly dialogue to develop papers and grant proposals.
Clinical and teaching residencies are optional. Throughout the 2-year postdoctoral program, research residency experiences will be tailored to individual goals. Since many of the faculty have overlapping projects, trainees have opportunities to observe how different research teams function and how investigators from a variety of disciplines collaborate.
