The Summer Clinical Research Workshop includes four courses that are the starting point for all clinical research training at UCSF. These courses introduce the field of clinical research by providing instruction in designing clinical research studies, collecting and managing clinical research data, and exploring data (including the emerging field of big data). For individuals who will participate in clinical research in a supportive capacity, the workshop alone is sufficient training. For others desiring to be independent investigators, the workshop serves as introductory material for the Advanced Training in Clinical Research Certificate Program (ATCR) and Master's Degree in Clinical Research Program.
Objectives
To train emerging scientists in the skills needed to:
- Create a sound clinical research protocol
- Collect and manage clinical research data
- Explore clinical research data, including the emerging spectrum of big data
