Dear Colleague:
Harvard Medical School is launching a new clinical research program and I invite you to apply. Details are available at here.
The Global Clinical Scholars Training (GCSRT) Program is a one-year program of blended learning that is intended for clinicians and clinician-scientists who desire rigorous training in the methods and conduct of clinical research.
The blended learning approach combines traditional face-to-face teaching methods in three workshops with computer-mediated activities. Scholars have 24/7 access to all learning content. The program emphasizes team-based learning with scholars working together in groups to collaborate, discuss and problem solve, while also learning from each other.
Participants will be drawn from a worldwide pool of clinicians holding MD, PhD, MBBS, DMD, DDS, and DO degrees.
The program comprises of 56 online lectures, 24 interactive webinars, and 3 weekend workshops in Boston and London. The faculty is composed of leading experts in Clinical Research at Harvard.
Scholars achieving program objectives are granted a Certificate of Program Completion.
