Training in Addiction Research

The NARC is part of a comprehensive addiction training
program at the Medical University of South Carolina. In addition to the
NARC, the addiction training program is funded in part by institutional
training grants from the
National
Institute of Drug Abuse and the
National
Institute of Alcoholism and Alcohol Abuse, as well as by two other
addiction research centers, the
Alcohol
Research Center and the
Center
for the Study of Women in Addiction. Through all of these programs
training in addiction research is provided to Ph.D. and M.D./Ph.D. candidates
in the
Neuroscience
Graduate Program, as well as to clinical fellows in translational
addiction research. At present there are about 20 faculty in the
Department
of Neurosciences and
Department
of Psychiatry at MUSC engaged in addiction research who are involved
in training approximately 10 graduate students, 12 postdoctoral fellows
and 5 clinical fellows.
