Description
The MSCR program was
created to provide additional training in clinical research for professionals
whose careers in academic medicine would require them to successfully
obtain consistent extramural funding as principal investigators on grants
and/or for investigator initiated clinical research projects. These trainees
will become faculty in medical schools and will embark on a career in
clinical research as the team leader - the goal being that they will be
successful in obtaining grants from NIH, etc.
Students complete the program in one year on a full time basis. Classes
meet Tuesday and Thursday afternoon. The degree is awarded from the College
of Graduate Studies (Department of Biostatistics, Bioinformatics and Epidemiology).
More information can be found at http://www.musc.edu/dbbe/academics/mscr.php.

Students in this program
will primarily be senior residents, fellows, or junior faculty at MUSC.

sciences (e.g., M.D., Pharm. D., O.D., D.M.D., Ph.D.).
