Certificate in Clinical Research Program
What is It?
A 12-credit hour online non-degree program designed to provide initial clinical research skills and training to healthcare professionals.
Who Should Enroll?
Junior faculty, fellows, other healthcare professionals and research-oriented individuals, who are not in a degree program, who seek initial training in the methods and skills to conduct clinical research, but whose schedules may not accommodate traditional, classroom-based courses.
What Courses are Offered?
The Certificate program includes the following online courses:
Fall Semester
- Fundamentals of Clinical Investigation (3 credit hours): BIOE 750
- Biostatistics for Public Health (3 credit hours): BIOE 720 section 701
Spring Semester
- Principles of Epidemiology (3 credit hours): BIOE 727
- Ethical and Legal Issues in Clinical Research (3 credit hours): BIOE 740
These online, self-paced courses are moderated by experienced research scholars within the College of Graduate Health Sciences' academic-year schedule of fall and spring semesters. Not all courses will be offered every semester, so students may need at least two semesters to earn a certificate if they follow the recommended plan for two courses in the fall semester and two courses in the spring semester.
