Faculty involved with the training program are classified into one of three distinct categories: primary mentor, secondary mentor or distance consultant. After discussion, fellows will selecta primary mentor whose research expertise overlaps with the research interests of the fellow and who can provide a tangible research experience that focuses on that area of interest. The fellow will also be assigned a secondary mentor who will provide training and research expertise from a discipline usuallydistinct from the primary mentor’s. The distant consultants are faculty from outside the San Diego area that will be available to the trainees for additional mentoring or technical consultation.
