The Master of Science in Clinical Research is a degree program offered by the Department of Biomathematics in the School of Medicine. The program was developed as a joint effort between the Departments of Biomathematics and Medicine and the K30 Program. This program is designed to provide rigorous training to physicians and other health professionals, from a variety of clinical disciplines, with the techniques and processes utilized in patient-oriented research. The curriculum provides, through didactic course work and a mentored research thesis, a strong foundation in the computational and statistical sciences, fundamental methods of clinical trials, biomedical ethics, and principles of clinical pharmacology. Trainees who successfully complete this program are awarded a Master of Science in Clinical Research degree from UCLA.

The goals of the Master of Science in Clinical Research are to enable fellows and faculty to:

  • Design and conduct clinical research (clinical trials and observational studies)
  • Successfully compete for funding (e.g. NIH K23 or R01s in Clinical Research)
  • Analyze data and interpret the results of research projects
  • Present research at scientific meetings and in the medical literature
  • Critique and interpret the research of others

Eligibility

  • Requirements for admission include a baccalaureate degree (or its foreign equivalent) plus a professional health degree (i.e. M.D., D.D.S, D.N.Sc. or Ph.D.).
  • Physician candidates should have completed most of their clinical requirements for Board eligibility in their chosen specialty/subspecialty at the time of application.
  • Applicants must have salary and tuition support for the duration of the program and a letter of such commitment from their Division or Dept. must accompany the application.
  • Applicants must have selected and established a relationship with a research mentor.
