PhD Program: Clinical Investigation (CI) Track
Clinical investigation is the discipline by which physicians and other health care professionals translate knowledge gained in the basic sciences or the laboratory setting to develop prevention and disease management interventions and strategies to improve health outcomes. The mission of the Clinical Investigation Track is to train the next generation of clinician scientists who will pursue successful careers in translational research. Clinical investigation is clearly a primary mission of academic medical and health centers, and properly trained clinicians are uniquely qualified to engage in investigative and translational studies. Within the CI track, training occurs across many disciplines:
- Clinical trial design
- Biopharmaceutics and pharmacokinetics
- Biodiagnostics, and
- Laboratory-based molecular biology techniques that assist in bridging basic and clinical sciences
