Designed for clinicians and clinician-scientists in both the United States and abroad, our Global Clinical Scholars Research Training program provides advanced training in health care research and methods. Using a blended learning model that incorporates online tools, live virtual seminars, and dynamic workshops, the curriculum is focused on enhancing your ability at every stage of the research process – from writing grant proposals and launching new projects to analyzing data and presenting your results.
This one-year blended program was designed with working professionals in mind and includes three in-person workshops with online seminars in between. Learners should expect to spend an average of 7-10 hours per week on coursework, viewing pre-recorded materials, attending live online lectures, reviewing sessions with faculty, and working on team assignments and your capstone.
