The M.S. in Clinical Research is an interdisciplinary graduate degree designed to meet the changing needs of the current health care field, particularly the increasing need for trained professionals with well-developed quantitative and analytic skills. The M.S. in Clinical Research at the University of Virginia School of Medicine equips graduates to tackle a variety of topics, ranging from broad questions of health care organization and financing to specific instances of how to maximize medical benefit while controlling medical costs. Our enhanced interdisciplinary program in clinical research provides a broad range of training opportunities for students interested in these new areas of clinical investigation, clnical information management, medical economics, and health services research. The interdisciplinary blend of biostatistics, epidemiology, health services research methodology, clinical trial design, economics, information studies, and health policy offered through the M.S. in Clinical Research is taught by faculty in the Department of Public Health Sciences in collaboration with other faculty at UVA in the Schools of Medicine, Nursing, Arts and Sciences, Business, and Law. The experience is one of intensive study aimed toward giving students the analytical skills needed in all areas of clinical research.
