Course description
Designed for clinicians and clinician-scientists in both the United States and abroad, our Global Clinical Scholars Research Training program aims to enable scholars to expand their knowledge and sharpen their skills in clinical research. Using a blended learning model that incorporates online tools, in-person seminars and dynamic workshops, the curriculum is focused on enhancing your ability at every stage of the research process–from writing grant proposals and launching new projects to analyzing data and presenting your results.
This program combines online learning with three intensive workshops that are designed to offer a mix of traditional and innovative approaches. Each month, you will participate in five to six interactive webinars – including review sessions by faculty and special seminars from leading experts–and also have access to more than 85 prerecorded online lectures. Both concentrations of Advanced Epidemiology or Clinical Trials require scholars to take the foundation courses and their choice of elective courses, in addition to a capstone project.
Participants will be eligible for Associate Alumni status upon successful completion of the program. Early tuition and need-based tuition reductions may be available.
