Post-Doctoral Training Program in Bio-Behavioral Breast Cancer Research
Abstract
Broadly stated, the Biobehavioral model proposes that what people think and feel affects the state of their health in two fundamental ways: by affecting their behavioral choices (e.g., consumption of alcoholic beverages) and/or by affecting biological processes (e.g., immune defenses) that may affect risk of disease and prognosis. Our Postdoctoral Training Program in Biobehavioral Breast Cancer Research was designed to provide trainees with the necessary intellectual background to do interdisciplinary research and become independent investigators in this underdeveloped area of research. This has been achieved through the implementation of a Core Curriculum, a seminar series, as well as "hands-on" research experience on existing and independent projects under the guidance of experienced mentors. At the conclusion of the program, nine researchers have completed the training.
