Graduate Certificate in Clinical Investigation
The Graduate Certificate in Clinical Investigation (CI) is a 16-credit certificate program for young investigators committed to pursuing academic careers in clinical research. Students will gain knowledge in the core competencies of clinical research and investigation, such as study design, research implementation, statistical approaches, responsible conduct of research, scientific communication and literature critique, leadership, and community engagement.
On average, scholars complete the certificate requirements within one to two years. All course work must be successfully completed within five years from the start of the first course. Credits cannot be transferred into the program.
The evening course format allows for full- or part-time enrollment that can accommodate clinical schedules.
The certificate is available in four different tracks: Clinical Investigation, Translational Medicine, Genetics/Genomics, Dissemination and Implementation.
