Interdisciplinary Breast Cancer Training Program

Abstract

The goal of the University of Alabama at Birmingham Interdisciplinary Breast Cancer Training Program (IBCTP) is to educate and train predoctoral students in a multidisciplinary environment with a focus on breast cancer research. The aims are to 1) recruit predoctoral trainees to the IBCTP; 2) assure that predoctoral trainees obtain a broad-based breast cancer education and carry out interdisciplinary breast cancer research; 3) administer this program with sufficient oversight to ensure high-quality education and training, efficient completion of degree requirements, and productive research careers. Our training program is designed to prepare and motivate trainees to pursue careers in the fields of breast cancer causation, prevention, diagnosis, therapy and education.
