The Master of Science in Clinical and Translational Research (CTR) program primarily targets physicians, doctoral-level scientists, and students pursuing medical or doctoral degrees. This program aims to equip clinicians and researchers with the skills to bridge laboratory discoveries with clinical applications, enhancing healthcare outcomes for individuals and communities. Through translating scientific findings into practical treatments, professionals can accelerate patient access to innovative therapies. The curriculum includes nine courses covering research methodologies, advanced techniques, scientific communication, biostatistics, data analysis, elective options, plus seminar, workshop, and mentorship components. With its hands-on approach, students collaborate with faculty advisors to create a professional portfolio featuring a grant application, a conference-ready abstract as lead author, and a primary-authored research paper.
