Degree: MS
Clinical Research Program
Objectives: The Master of Science in Clinical Research degree is designed for physicians and other doctorally-prepared participants who hold MD, MD/PhD, or other equivalent degrees and who are willing to undergo a significant commitment to learn about and eventually conduct clinical investigation. Investigators undertaking clinical research will learn how to couple their knowledge of medicine with analytic sciences including statistical reasoning, decision analysis, probability theory, analytical epidemiology, and informatics. They will also obtain a thorough understanding of the principles of evidence-based medicine, bioethics, clinical trials design, and responsible conduct of research. This program combines formal coursework and a mentored thesis to provide a body of knowledge allowing graduates to pursue outstanding careers and obtain extramural funding focusing upon clinical research.
Additional Information: Physicians entering the program are expected to have completed a solid foundation of clinical training and experience and be board eligible or board certified in a clinical field or subspecialty prior to entry into the program and are usually at the level of senior fellow or junior faculty.
