training, education & career development

Our Training, Education, and Career Development core is designed to educate leaders for the Nation's multidisciplinary clinical and translational research workforce, to accelerate clinical research training, and to educate all members of the clinical research workforce. It is built upon:

  • A successful Roadmap K12 program that educates multidisciplinary postdoctoral Clinical Research Scholars
  • Rapidly strengthening collaborations among our medical centers

The CTSA seeks to build a seamless, integrated education network to promote multidisciplinary, team-based education and training within and across institutions. In turn, this core serves our goals of accelerating the translation of basic biomedical research into clinical practice advances, and clinical practice advances into better health at the community level.

Leadership
Mission
  • Education and Training for the Entire Clinical and Translational Research Team: Promote coordinated Clinical Research Education and Training by developing, implementing, and coordinating multidisciplinary clinical and translational research education across partner institutions.
  • The TL1 Program: Educate and train a multidisciplinary group of pre-doctoral clinical research scholars in a new Clinical and Translational Scientist Training Program (CTSC CTSTP Program) that will combine PhD training in research with a doctoral degree in medicine (MD), dental medicine (DMD) or nursing (DNP).
  • The KL2 Program: Educate and train a multidisciplinary group of post-doctoral clinical research scholars (CTSC KL2 Program) to be future leaders for the Nation's clinical research enterprise.
How we support Investigators
  • Recruit and motivate young scholars as early as possible to enter clinical and translational science career pathways
  • Infuse a culture that values multidisciplinary, team-based research by integrating training in teambuilding and leadership education that emphasizes working across institutions and disciplinary silos
  • Develop combined degree programs in clinical investigation and will support MD, DNP, and DMD candidates who also seek a PhD in clinical investigation
  • Implement learner-centered instructional methods such as problem-based learning seminars, mini-retreats, and the use of modern electronic media (DVDs, Internet-based curricular initiatives, webcasts) to facilitate accelerated, life-long learning;
  • Provide cultural competency training in collaboration with our Community Research Partnership program.
