Investigators and fellows in the Division of Research work on the cutting edge of delivery science, partnering directly with Kaiser Permanente physicians and clinical operations leaders to develop and implement innovative research and quality improvement projects for patient care, in one of the nation's leading integrated delivery systems. Fellows will have the unique opportunity to develop delivery science research and writing skills for presentations and publications while being mentored by experienced scientists. Investigators have access to rich data resources, including a robust longitudinal electronic medical record system, and they have the opportunity to translate research findings into the clinical care setting.

The two-year, full-time program includes:

• Individualized scientific mentorship on at least two delivery science studies
• Weekly works-in-progress meetings with faculty and fellows
• Experience writing at least two first-authored publications based on Kaiser Permanente Division of Research projects
• Seminar series on career and skill development topics
• Core competency training in Delivery Science methods, including journal club
• Fellows with clinical training have the potential for maintaining a modest amount of clinical activity (arranged on a case-by-case basis)
