  • Do you want to become a successful patient-oriented investigator who can bridge molecular medicine and clinical research?
  • Do you hold a professional degree in Medicine, Dentistry, Nursing, or other clinical discipline, or are a PhD scientist highly committed to clinical investigation?
  • Do you have an affiliation with UCLA, Harbor-UCLA, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, or Charles R. Drew University of Medicine & Science?

If you answered yes to all of the above questions, the CTSI Training Program in Translational Science can offer you educational opportunities for advanced training in clinical research. These options vary from clinical research development seminar modules (Track 1) to a formal structured certificate program (Track 2) and a Master of Science in Clinical Research (Track 3).

  1. Track 1 does not grant any certificate or degree. The Clinical Research Development Seminars are open to interested fellows and faculty, and can be taken as individual modules/workshops. No tuition required. Applications are accepted all year for immediate start!
  2. Track 2 is a structured two-year part-time program that leads to a certificate awarded by the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. No tuition required. Applications accepted now until May 15, 2013 - limited positions available for August 1st start date!
  3. Track 3 is a Master of Science in Clinical Research (MSCR) graduate degree program offered by the Department of Biomathematics in the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. The length of time to complete the MSCR degree, including the requirement of a research thesis, attracts those with career aspirations in academic medicine. Tuition required.
