Most successful applicants have authored at least one conference abstract, publication, or peer-reviewed article.
Global Clinical Scholars Research Training is truly a global program. The latest cohort of students represented 47 countries, including the United States, Saudi Arabia, India, Nigeria, and many more. Past student participants have included chief physicians, directors, fellows, scientists, and specialists.

"This program is fantastic. It teaches you not only about the basics of research but also about teamwork, grants, and publishing your data in an interactive way. The online courses provide flexibility in my schedule, and the workshops are a valuable tool for networking and team building. I am happy to be a part of the GCSRT team, and I am finally able to enjoy statistics."
