About Us
Up one levelFor over 40 years, Duke University has been a world leader in training clinical and translational researchers. The earliest generations of these trainees are now serving in senior academic roles as Deans, Department Chairs, and thought leaders across the country. More recent generations of our trainees are fulfilling key roles in academic medicine, generating research funding, and mentoring future generations of academics.
Nevertheless, these longstanding workforce contributions remain insufficient to satisfy current and future demands for clinical and translational investigators. Our recent efforts have emphasized clinical research training at the institutional, fellowship and junior faculty levels through the K-30, Roadmap T-32 program, traditional T-32 awards, and the K-programs.
Today, we recognize the need to create a smoother continuum of clinical and translational research education that spans pre-doctoral years to the crucial early faculty years and incorporates training that facilitates translation of basic and clinical sciences discoveries to the bedside and to the clinic. Moreover, the training must emphasize multi- and inter-disciplinary approaches to increasingly complex problems.
Our goals for each of the core components of training and education are divided into three sections:
Research Education: The didactic experience
- Offer high quality didactic training covering translational medicine to outcomes research in both traditional classroom based learning environment and novel online courses
Career Development: Pre-doctoral Recruitment and Training
- Provide early exposure to careers in clinical and translational research and more intense training for pre-doctoral students from diverse clinical settings
- Describe a career training path that shortens the time from pre-doctoral training to faculty position
Career Development: Post-doctoral and Early Career Support for Faculty
- Provide clinical and translational research training for specialty
and subspecialty trained physicians and junior faculty from varied
disciplines

Dr. Oddone is a clinical researcher whose primary research interests are: 1) evaluating the effectiveness of primary care with an emphasis on preventing hospitalization, 2) assessing the reasons and testing interventions to reduce racial variation in access to health care and utilization of health services, and 3) determining appropriate interventions to improve blood pressure control for hypertensive patients treated in primary care. He has active research funding in racial variation, blood pressure control, disease management, and telemedicine. He also has methodologic expertise in designing and testing health services interventions in multi-site clinical trials. See also: Clinical
