The goal of the University of Kansas School of Medicine Clinical
Research Curriculum program is to develop clinician scholars
with a strong foundation in patient-oriented research principles
and methods. Trainees will participate in
a four part program:
- a flexible two year core curriculum with three tracks (patient–oriented
mechanistic and translational research, clinical epidemiology,
and health services research),
- a seminar series of supplementary group learning activities,
- a program of research apprenticeship experiences
- core technical resources such as biostatistical consultation,
reference files of available mentors and funding opportunities.
The program is designed to support two levels of trainees:
The training program is led by Principal Investigator Edward
F. Ellerbeck, MD, MPH. Participants will be drawn
from our pool of research trainees, physicians in graduate medical
training and doctorally prepared trainees from other
disciplines. The overall program is designed to increase
the number of clinical scholars who apply for and receive funding
for patient-oriented research at both the career development and
individual investigator levels.
