The term clinical research embraces all research that is conducted to provide clinicians with evidence-based information to help them decide which course of treatment best suits patients in their care. In this manner, individuals involved in clinical research helps provide clinicians with critical results that have a direct impact on their patients’ well-being.
Students may enter this program having completed the Bachelor of Science in Clinical Research degree, or any other suitable undergraduate degree, and continue their education in clinical research. Some of our BS graduates defer their entry into industry to pursue this graduate degree first.
Professionals already working in the industry are encouraged to pursue this graduate degree. Some of these students already hold terminal degrees in other health-related disciplines (e.g. medicine, pharmacy, nursing, and allied health fields), but enroll in this program to gain a wide knowledge of all key aspects of clinical research. It is our goal to prepare our graduates for leadership positions in their respective fields within clinical research.
