Education and Training forms a key component of the PRDC, predominately through the Emory Child Health Initiative to Reduce the Physician-Scientist Shortage (CHIRPSS). This broad curricular initiative intervenes in various stages of the Physician-Scientist career (from Resident Scholars to Early Career Researchers) to prepare scholars for the rigorous research environment they are entering. Created specifically to address the identified problem of the loss of potential physician-scientists, CHIRPPS focuses exclusively on the population of scholars that benefit from training programs like the R38, T32, K12, and KL2, and offers a variety of curriculum and evaluation resources and support services. In addition to CHIRPSS, the Core also offers a wide-variety of workshops, career development events, and mentor training.

The PRDC offers several types of Education and Training Services, each of which are described in more detail here. Services include:

• One-on-one writing consultations for DOP Residents and Fellows
• Education-related workshops and events
• Educational material creation
• Curriculum development consultations for training grants
