BBTAD Training Program
The BBTAD Training Program provides a general structure (i.e., a set of experiences and expectations common to all Trainees) but is individualized to meet the educational needs, interests, and professional goals of each trainee. The program has four key elements: (a) mechanisms for coordinating and monitoring individualized training; (b) intensive research training experiences; (c) a core curriculum; and (d) a requirement that training experiences result in well-defined products in a timely manner. Each of these elements is described below.
