Clinical fellows and other health professionals at NIH have until March 1, 2005, to apply for the 2005-2006 NIH-Duke Training Program in Clinical Research. The program leads to a Master of Health Sciences in Clinical Research, a professional degree awarded by the Duke University School of Medicine. There is also a non-degree option for qualified students who want to pursue specific areas of interest.
The Duke program, established in 1986, is one of the nation's first training programs in clinical research. This collaboration between the NIH Clinical Center and Duke University School of Medicine marks the first time that the program has been made available for long-distance learners.
Students at NIH attend classes at Duke by way of videoconferencing. Some of the course work is taught here at NIH by adjunct faculty. The curriculum covers the principles of clinical research, including research design, statistical analysis, health economics, research ethics, and research management.
Enrollment in this program is limited. Applications for the 2005-2006 academic year will be available beginning Nov. 1, 2004, in the Clinical Center, Office of Clinical Research Training and Medical Education, Building 10, Room B1L403. The deadline for receipt of applications is March 1, 2005. Applicants who have been accepted into the program will be notified by July 1, 2005.
