Program Overview
Designed for clinicians and clinician-scientists in both the United States and abroad, our Global Clinical Scholars Research Training (GCSRT) program provides advanced training in health care research and methods. Using a blended learning model that incorporates online tools, in-person seminars and dynamic workshops, the curriculum is focused on enhancing your ability at every stage of the research process–from writing grant proposals and launching new projects to analyzing data and presenting your results.
A one-year program, GCSRT combines online learning with three intensive workshops that are designed to offer a mix of traditional and innovative approaches. Each month, you will participate in five to six interactive webinars – including review sessions by faculty and special seminars from leading experts–and also have access to more than 85 prerecorded online lectures.
Our flexible cohort model makes it possible to advance your knowledge while allowing you to continue meeting your current personal and professional responsibilities. The final workshop and certificate award ceremony will be held in Boston, Massachusetts at Harvard Medical School. The 2022–2023 program begins on January 18, 2022 and ends on February 11, 2023.
