Research opportunities exist at both the University's department of Preventive Medicine and Biometrics (exposure assessment, medical surveillance, occupational injuries, cancer mortality and morbidity studies) and at National Jewish (beryllium disease, asthma, hypersensitivity pneumonitis, and other occupational lung conditions). Industrial practicums include Lockheed-Martin and the Rocky Flats former nuclear weapons plant. Other practicums include the regional NIOSH office, Colorado Department of Health and Environment, and the Airline Pilots Association. We seek applicants with strong primary care training and an interest in clinical research. Some of our trainees have enrolled after beginning the University of Colorado pulmonary fellowship.
