Program Description
The MS in Clinical Investigation (MSCI) is a post-graduate program that provides classroom and mentored experience in clinical research and innovation, preparing its trainees for careers in academic medicine, the allied health sciences, and global health related fields. The Program welcomes trainees who have or are pursuing graduate degrees in clinical and translational science (medicine, dentistry, nursing, physical therapy, pharmacy, and the biosciences) and trainees with engineering or business degrees who are involved in health care systems. The MSCI Program prepares trainees to be competitive investigators and team members working broadly within the clinical and translational science realm. Candidates for the MSCI degree elect to complete one of three tracks of study: Track 1 (Med into Grad) emphasizes the inherited basis of human disease, mechanism-oriented clinical research, and bench-to-bedside translational research. Track 2 (Clinician Scientist) emphasizes epidemiology, health services research, and bedside-to-community translational research. Emphasis (Global Health Innovation and Technology) emphasizes human-centered design, principles of innovation, and global translational research.
The curriculum for the MSCI program begins in July for Track 2 candidates with a four-week intensive introductory session and in August for Emphasis candidates with a six-week intensive introductory session.
