Training Opportunities


We are firmly committed to the education and training of the next generation of biomedical and behavioral scientists, and offer numerous, unique training opportunities within the Physical Disabilities Branch. These opportunities include, but are certainly not limited to, predoctoral and postdoctoral experiences and summer internships for students.

Information about training throughout the National Institutes of Health may be found at http://www.jobs.nih.gov/ and we encourage you to contact us if you would like specific information about opportunities within the Physical Disabilities Branch.


Shown below are just a few of the many individuals we've had the pleasure of working with.
