There is a growing need for health professionals who advance science discoveries to clinical applications through research on human beings; i.e., clinical research. This includes observational studies and clinical trials on individuals and in communities. It is increasingly recognized that many individuals seek formal training in clinical research, both in the U.S. and abroad, but cannot spend the time or do not have the resources to attend an on-campus program or do an original research project for a thesis. This certificate in clinical research includes the alternative of distance learning for health professionals in Minnesota, outside the state, and in other countries.
Of the 15 required credits, 13 are are offered entirely online. The 2-credit PUBH 6303 Seminar will be offered as a hybrid with much of the didactic portions online and student presentations done either during an 8-week, on-campus period or via live video technology. Additional elective courses may be either online or in-person.
