Please keep in mind that up to three applications only can be submitted per application fee, per semester. In addition to the specific requirements listed below, see the Master's Degrees section of the Graduate Student Handbook . This program provides a means for physicians, dentists, pharmacists, pharmacologists, and others who are involved in clinical research to develop expertise in research design and statistical analysis appropriate to such research while remaining in their existing employment. Participants are faculty and researchers employed by medical, dental, pharmaceutical, and nursing schools, teaching hospitals, research institutes, and research divisions of pharmaceutical and medical firms. Persons in a fellowship program that involves research are also eligible.
Many participants already hold a doctoral degree.
The participants' work setting is their laboratory. While doing projects related to their work, participants design and implement research projects, review proposals, and critique literature in their fields. Eighteen weekends spread over 19 to 20 months are required. Each weekend includes 28-30 hours of class time. Between sessions participants do assignments and work projects.
