Summer Program in Clinical Effectiveness
The Summer Program in Clinical Effectiveness -
affiliated with Brigham and Women's Hospital, Massachusetts General Hospital
and Harvard Medical School - is intended for physicians who have completed their
residencies and wish to obtain the quantitative and analytical skills needed
for careers in clinical research. Candidates must be fellows or faculty members
and are usually sponsored by their clinical departments or divisions. Students
in this program attend an intensive, seven-week, 15-credit summer program,
comprising courses in biostatistics, epidemiology, and health policy and
management.
Upon completion of this summer program,
qualified applicants who are admitted to a degree program may apply these
academic credits toward the requirements for either a master of public health
(MPH) or a master of science (SM) degree.
HSPH offers two specifically relevant degree programs:
-
the MPH with a concentration in clinical effectiveness
-
SM in epidemiology, with an area of interest in clinical epidemiology
