GLAXO WELLCOME / DUKE UNIVERSITY

Fellowship In Psychopharmacology
The two-year program in Clinical Psychopharmacology is jointly sponsored by Glaxo Wellcome and the Department of Psychiatry at Duke University. The fellow will learn the intricacies of the drug discovery process, the regulatory and legal issues, and the production and marketing strategies involved in the introduction of pharmaceuticals as therapeutic entities. This program will prepare physicians for careers in pharmaceutical research and development, in academia, in clinical research, or in a governmental agency that deals with drugs or therapeutics.

During the first year of the program, most of the fellow’s time will be spent at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina, and the remaining portion at Glaxo Wellcome. The emphasis will be on participation in clinical studies taking place in the Anxiety and Traumatic Stress Program. During this year, a preceptor from Glaxo Wellcome will be chosen and will work with the fellow to develop a research project to be undertaken in the second year. Opportunities will also be available for the fellow to learn the regulatory aspects of the pharmaceutical industry during the portion of the fellow’s time at Glaxo Wellcome.

The second year of the fellowship will be conducted at Glaxo Wellcome in Research Triangle Park, N.C. Most of the time will be spent at this facility and the remainder at Duke University. The focus of the second year is on the clinical phases of new drug development, with an emphasis on clinical study design and conduct. During the year, the fellow will become an integral member of the clinical research department which his/her preceptor leads.

The candidate must hold the M.D. degree and must have satisfactorily completed an accredited residency program, or be in the fourth year of a residency program in Psychiatry. The candidate must also demonstrate the personal and academic characteristics necessary to complete the course of study.

All interested candidates must submit a letter of application stating personal goals as related to the Fellowship, three letters of support, and a curriculum vitae by February 1, 2000, to:
