Quality of Life Clinical Research Fellowship
Led by some of the nation’s best educators in health science, our programs are at the forefront of translational medicine and healthcare innovation.
This Quality of Life Clinical Research Fellowship at Cedars-Sinai is focused on training postdoctoral scholars from a variety of disciplines — including psychiatry, medicine and psychology — in the skills needed to develop and implement interventions that improve the quality of life of patients, both within and beyond healthcare settings.
The fellowship program is under the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Neurosciences. Our departmental mission is to deliver high-value, integrated psychiatric services that improve the health and quality of life of our patients. We seek to engage patients and their families to participate in their treatment, to remove psychological barriers to healthy living and to promote wellness. Our vision is to be a nationally recognized leader in the delivery of effective, humanistic, patient-centered care.
