Opportunities for physicians, nurses, and other clinicians in such research are rapidly expanding in a wide variety of settings, including academic health centers, community hospitals, integrated health systems, health insurance and pharmaceutical industries, consulting, and government. The curriculum includes courses in biostatistics, clinical epidemiology, clinical trials, decision sciences and cost-effectiveness analysis, outcomes measurement, quality management, health care economics and policy, scientific communication, and SAS statistical analysis computing. An important component of the curriculum is a student-chosen, mentored research project that is designed, conducted, analyzed, and summarized during the two years. Through choice of research topic, students can opt for a concentration in clinical research, quality management, or complementary and alternative medicine, among other areas.
Prospective students are encouraged review the admission requirements.
