Clinical Research - Emory University

Clinical Research from Emory University is a Campus Master Clinical Laboratory degree that prepares you for a Healthcare career. The Master of Science in Clinical Research (MSCR) degree program provides didactic and mentored clinical and translational research training designed for participants who hold a doctoral or equivalent degree and have demonstrated a commitment to a career in clinical investigation. Pre-doctoral (medical or graduate) students may apply to the MSCR through the TL1-Medical Scientist Training Program (dual degree program). Investigators undertaking clinical and translational research must couple their knowledge of medicine and biology with analytic sciences including statistical reasoning, decision analysis, probability theory, analytical epidemiology, and informatics. They must also have an understanding of the principles of evidence-based medicine, implementation science , bioethics, clinical trial design, regulations involving human subjects and animals, scientific and grant writing, and responsible conduct of research. The MSCR requires a minimum of 28 academic credit hours, which include classes, a research thesis, and a written grant proposal. Full-time students complete two semesters of class work in the first year. The summer and second year consist of completing required rotations (IRB and Clinical Interaction Network), research project, thesis, and grant. Mentoring is by an established and successful federally-funded clinical investigator. View more details on Emory University .
