The Amyloidosis Research Consortium’s Clinical Fellowship program supports the education and development of future amyloidosis specialists with the aim of growing the base of clinicians who can provide expert care and lead scientific advances. The program funds academic centers in the U.S. and Canada to train a new amyloidosis clinician-researcher over a one-year period.
The program will enhance the ability of the trainee to integrate multidisciplinary collaboration, build advanced expertise, promote health equity, and foster innovation in the diagnosis and management of amyloidosis.
