This unique concentration in the Master of Science program in
medical sciences was developed by an interdisciplinary faculty to
provide sound didactic background in the foundations of clinical
research. Core course requirements cover study design, data
analysis, ethical conduct of research, epidemiology, manuscript and
abstract writing, and grant writing. Additional electives in specific
fields may be taken from other concentrations or programs. A
research thesis designed and conducted with a clinical research
mentor is required.
For clinically trained M.D.s and other doctoral-level health
professionals, the M.S. concentration in clinical and translational
science (MS-CTS) may be part of a more-complete training
experience in clinical research offered through the College of
Medicine as the Advanced Postgraduate Program in Clinical
Investigation (APPCI). For more information, contact Dr. Marian
Limacher, Program Director, P.O. Box 100277, Health Science
Center, Gainesville, FL 32610.
