Clinical Chemistry Fellowship

Requirements

• Applicants must hold an MD or PhD or other doctoral degree in chemistry, biochemistry, medicine, or a closely related field from an accredited institution.
• Applicants must have satisfactorily completed a minimum of 30 semester hours in undergraduate and/or graduate level chemistry or biochemistry instruction prior to admission into the program.
• See Application Materials below and ABCC for more information.
• Applications submitted after the deadline will still be considered until all roles are filled. 

J-1 Visa

The J-1 visa is the required visa for international trainees. This policy applies to all Department of Pathology fellowships, regardless of program accreditation or associated degree (MD/PhD). For those currently in the US who intend to transfer their J-1 visa, it is the applicant’s responsibility to confirm that there is enough time remaining on their visa to accommodate the full duration of the fellowship program.

Application Materials

The following materials must be submitted:

• Letter of interest.
• CV (resume).
• Copies of college transcripts showing 30 semester hours (or equivalent) of undergraduate and/or graduate level courses in analytic, organic, physical, or general chemistry, or biochemistry courses.
  • The use of a credential evaluation service is required for transcripts received from academic institutions outside the US as per the ABCC.
    • An acceptable credential evaluation at minimum must:
      • Confirm degree, degree status, and US equivalency.
      • Include the foreign institution, dates of attendance, and date of completion.
      • Include the course-by-course breakdown, US credit/unit equivalence, and US grade equivalence.
    • Examples of credential evaluations services can be found here.
• Three letters of recommendation.
  • Letters of recommendation must come from the person writing the letter, not the applicant.

Applications should be submitted to Program Coordinator Julie MacKenzie (julie.mackenzie@aruplab.com).
