The Clinical Research Training Program (CRTP) of the Duke University School of Medicine / Biostatistics and Bioinformatics Department provides academic training in the quantitative and methodological principles of clinical research. CRTP is designed primarily for faculty, fellows and other health professionals. The program offers formal courses in research design, research management, medical genetics, comparative effectiveness, translational methodologies and statistical analysis.

A degree option in the program leads to a Master of Health Sciences in Clinical Research, a professional degree awarded by the School of Medicine. An advanced degree in a clinical health science (or two years of medical school) from an accredited institution is a prerequisite for admission either as a degree candidate or as a non-degree participant. In addition, CRTP offers non-degree and certificate options for individuals interested in taking one or more courses.

The program is now accepting applications for the academic year 2019-2020. For a detailed description of the program, the course offerings, and a link to the online application, please visit the CRTP website at http://crtp.mc.duke.edu. The application deadline for priority review is May 15, 2019. Applications will be accepted through Aug. 1, 2019. On-line registration for fall term courses begin on July 8, and classes begin on Aug. 26.
