For those who enjoy being on the front lines of clinical or translational research, advocacy or policy work, or as leaders in non-profit or governmental organizations, the Division of Graduate Medical Sciences offers four leadership preparation programs.
Learn how to design research studies, and actively manage patient-based research to translate laboratory-based discoveries into research with human subjects. Develop study protocols, interpret data, and learn how to train and educate others in the field. There is a huge demand for CI professionals around the world.
The first program of its kind in the world, and unique in its emphasis on biomedical sciences and healthcare, the program will prepare you for a variety of crisis management leadership roles. Take classes on campus or virtually and participate in field exercises around the world. Graduates are in high demand; many students receive job offers before commencement.
Globalization has created a need for medical anthropologists who understand how cultures and societies are organized and influenced by issues of health and health care. This program prepares interdisciplinary scholars and clinicians capable of advancing research and practice that better serves the growing cultural and medical pluralism around the world.
Learn how to conduct basic and translational research to address health issues such as obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and other chronic conditions. Prepare for leadership positions such as lab manager, clinical or epidemiological study director, medical writer, or leading developmental research in the pharmaceutical, food, or nutriceutical industries.
