These programs are part of the School of Medicine's Biomedical Sciences Graduate Program.

The Clinical Research program usually requires 2-3 years to complete the curriculum, including the mentored research requirement. Candidates should hold an MD, PharmD, DNS, DVM, or Ph.D. in an appropriate discipline. 

The Clinical Research Methods program is a 33-credit, one-year curriculum designed for the MD who seeks familiarity with the fundamentals and techniques of clinical research. The curriculum is intended to serve the recent medical school graduate.

The Clinical Research Methods with a concentration in Pre-Surgical Training program is designed for medical school graduates who seek familiarity with the fundamental techniques of clinical research with a particular interest in surgery. It is a two-year, full-time program.

The one-year Master’s program will increase your competitiveness for medical schools or equivalent professional programs. We also offer a Ph.D. program that follows the regulations of the Biomedical Sciences Graduate Program. The MD/Ph.D. program is available to selected medical students who wish to consider research careers and medical practice.
