The Master's in Clinical and Translational Research equips healthcare professionals with advanced academic and investigative capabilities to become autonomous researchers. This program specifically targets individuals holding terminal degrees in health-related disciplines, training them to bridge discoveries between laboratory science and real-world applications. Graduates will develop competencies for careers as research scientists, educators, public health leaders, clinical practitioners, and pharmaceutical industry professionals.
The Connecticut Convergence Institute for Translation in Regenerative Engineering oversees this Master of Science program, emphasizing clinical research methodologies and hands-on practicum experiences. Designed for holders of terminal healthcare degrees (including M.D., Ph.D., Pharm.D., D.D.S., or D.M.D.), the curriculum delivers practical training essential for conducting independent investigations. Rather than requiring a traditional thesis, the program combines coursework with research components, culminating in two key deliverables: a preliminary grant proposal and a manuscript-ready scientific paper focused on a clinical/translational research topic. Students complete their studies by orally defending both their grant application and research report.
