Our Clinical Trials track trains you in the methodological understanding of study design. It also fosters the analytical acumen you need to develop novel and interventional human studies with therapeutic intent, or to further delineate the pathophysiology of disease. Below is a complete listing of requirements for the first and second year of the Clinical Trials track of the PhD in Clinical Research program.
