Academic doctors have a unique chance to get specialised industry-academic clinical training in drug development through the AACR Research Training Fellowships. These fellowships in the USA offer hands-on training at AACR facilities and the locations of industry partners in the pharmaceutical sector. Every chosen fellow is given a $100,000 annual stipend that covers living expenses as well as training expenditures. Medical students would benefit greatly from the AACR Clinical Oncology Research (CORE) Training Fellowships.
Fostering collaboration between academics and the pharmaceutical industry is the main objective of CORE research fellowships, with the aim of expediting the translation of research findings into cancer treatments. Designed specifically for medical degree holders who aspire to become clinical scientists, the curriculum offers insightful information on drug development from an industry standpoint. International fellows receive hands-on training in data analysis, trial design, and clinical research—all crucial for their professional development.
Throughout the program, fellows engage in clinical activities and research initiatives, with the option to specialize in other areas such as preclinical research or biomarker development. Collaborations with major companies in the market, such as AstraZeneca, present special chances.
