The curriculum is based on a 24 credit hour sequence designed
to offer a foundation in patient-oriented
research over two years with three areas of concentration,
or “tracks”; patient-oriented mechanistic research,
clinical epidemiology and health services research (see
table below). Trainees will have the option
of completing an MPH or MSPH degree as well. All trainees
will complete a 15 hour required core sequence including biostatistics,
epidemiology, advanced biostatistics, computer software for data
management and analysis, grant writing, scientific writing and
responsible conduct of research. Trainees will also select
at least three electives from one of the three tracks. Participants
have the option of completing an MPH* with
an additional 12 credit hours or an MHSA with an additional
30 hours, during or after the two year Curriculum training period. The
formal course framework also provides options for transitional
investigators to enroll in specific higher level electives as
needed.
