Overview

Major medical advances don’t occur by accident. The journey from bench to bedside is fraught with challenges that require practical skills, critical thinking, and hands-on experience.

The next generation of independent investigators must be able to lead clinical and translational research efforts in an environment where funding is scarce, needs are urgent, and competition is fierce.

Key Features

The Clinical Investigation degree from Harvard University is designed to stimulate critical thinking and help students develop practical skills, network, and learn new approaches to handle uncertainty in patient-oriented research.

To achieve these aims, students from both tracks—Clinical Investigation and Translational Investigation—learn together. In the second year, students in each track then customize their learning along with their interests. Case studies and laboratory exercises help reinforce the theory, while skills are developed and refined with practice-oriented tasks.

Upon completion of the program, students will be able to:

Construct focused research questions and formulate testable hypotheses

Design and implement well-designed clinical and translational research studies

Analyze, interpret, and present clinical and translational research data

Write effective grant applications and papers and evaluate scientific literature
