Program Overview

The Masters of Science in Clinical Research (MSCR) is a 2 year, part-time program that aims to provide outstanding clinical and post-doctoral fellows, junior faculty, allied health professionals, and other trainees (MD, MD/PhD, and 'basic science' PhD students) with the knowledge, skills, and experience to successfully launch clinical and/or translational research-intensive careers. The MSCR has two main components: 1) graduate courses in biostatistics, epidemiology, research design, data analysis, and grant writing, among others, and 2) a mentored clinical research project leading to a Masters thesis.
