Clinical and Translational Science MS Program
The Master's Program is a two-year, full time program and also serves as one of the entry portals for the PhD Program in Clinical & Translational Science.
The MS Program offers students the option of choosing among three areas of concentration: Clinical Discovery and Investigation, Clinical Effectiveness Research, and Practice to Policy Research. Other areas of strength are training in predictive modeling, epidemiology, biostatistics, decision analysis, and cost effectiveness studies. The diverse CTS faculty has expertise across this spectrum.
In addition to coursework, students complete an MS thesis under the direction of a mentoring group that includes experts in the student's chosen area of research.
Descriptions of the requirements and courses for this program can be found in the GSBS catalog.
Graduates of the MS program typically become academic physicians whose careers involve research as well as patient care, leaders in industry, or clinical experts in governmental organizations.
