The University of California San Diego (UCSD) Center for Bleeding and Clotting Disorders (CBCD) is pleased to announce an opening for its one-year Coagulation Medicine Fellowship. The Fellowship at UC San Diego Health is designed to provide specialized training in hemophilia and other bleeding and thrombotic disorders. Eligible candidates have successfully completed Internal Medicine Residency and are ideally, but not necessarily, enrolled in or have completed a Hematology/Oncology fellowship. 

The Fellowship aims to offer advanced training in the diagnosis and treatment of bleeding and thrombotic disorders, encompassing Hemophilia, von Willebrand disease, Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT), platelet function disorders, rare factor deficiencies, as well as venous and arterial thrombosis. It also provides the opportunity to engage in and cultivate innovative research concepts within the field of hemostasis and thrombosis.

The CBCD conducts numerous research projects, including federally and industry-sponsored basic research, industry-sponsored clinical trials, and CBCD-based projects focusing on cardiovascular health, joint health, and point-of-care (musculoskeletal) ultrasound for hemophilic joint evaluation and management of deep venous thromboembolism. CBCD-based endeavors of note include cutting-edge CME-accredited training courses in musculoskeletal ultrasound and ultrasound for hematology-oriented objectives, including deep venous thrombosis. Other activities include international outreach in global health, specifically at the UCSD partner site in Maputo, Mozambique, and a program for women with bleeding disorders in collaboration with Obstetrics/Gynecology and Reproductive Health. The CBCD is part of the American Thrombosis and Hemostasis Network (ATHN) and receives funding from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) to participate in its network of Hemophilia Treatment Centers.

There will be ample opportunities to participate in and develop community outreach, research interests and educational programs together with the local Hemophilia Chapter and patient advocacy groups.
