The Program for Applied Research and Development in Genomic Medicine, or PARADIGM, is funded by the National Institutes of Health’s National Human Genomic Research Institute and will prepare trainees to be leaders in genomic medicine research and implementation. Trainees will receive didactic training tailored to their needs, extensive mentoring from world-renowned scientists, valuable clinical exposure in multiple areas of genomic medicine and stimulating career development opportunities in a robust, interdisciplinary research environment at UF.

The following are among the many trainee benefits of the program:

• Train in a rich research environment at the University of Florida.
• Gain in-depth knowledge in genomic medicine and research practices through a comprehensive didactic program that includes courses in genomic medicine, grant writing, biostatistics and more.
• Establish a primary research project that will support development of manuscripts, grant applications and presentations at UF and national meetings.
• Earn a graduate certificate in precision medicine to enhance training.
• Access to interdisciplinary learning opportunities at the University of Florida.
• Guidance from a primary mentor and mentoring committee who will support the trainee through the program.
• Spend at least 32 hours in a clinical genomic medicine setting to support implementation and broaden perspectives of the field.
• Substantial professional development training through exposure to several genomic medicine career pathways, seminar series events, annual UF research days and attendance at national and international meetings.
