During the first year, the students are assigned research mentors and work with them to design a curriculum that supports their research interests. Emphasis will be put on core clinical research and statistical concepts leading to proper research design. Didactic courses are chosen from SDM postdoctoral and other Boston University course offerings. The second year will continue with both didactic courses and clinical research, and the third year is dedicated to conducting and completing research.
