Research
Fellows are expected to be involved in an active program of research throughout the course of their training. At minimum, the fellow is expected to submit at least one research abstract for a national conference poster and/or presentation and submit a manuscript for publication prior to completing their fellowship program. In order to meet this timeline, it is recommended that the project is identified/selected early in the fellowship year.
Additional opportunities to be involved in active pilot grants focused on development of a positive psychology intervention for post-bariatric couples, and a longitudinal mixed methods study on psychological and behavioral effects of receiving genetic test results for obesity in the weight management clinic setting, are available.
