Two levels of training in clinical research are possible:
- Multidisciplinary Training Program in Clinical Investigation (MTPCI). The MTPCI targets post-doctoral fellows who recognize the potential benefits of
- 1) a sound didactic experience and
- 2) a high-quality mentoring system to those who do not wish to enter a graduate program. Trainees pursue a "Certificate of Clinical Investigation" which requires successful completion of four core curriculum courses plus electives or may choose to participate in a more limited didactic program auditing appropriate courses. The core curriculum comprises of: introduction to clinical investigation, biostatistics, fundamentals of epidemiology and research ethics.
