The PhD in Clinical Translational Science program at Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) will train and graduate clinical-translational scientists to meet the need for a transformed clinical and translational enterprise. Students will be rigorously trained in the theory and practice of clinical translational science in order to make significant clinical discoveries and to move these discoveries across the translational continuum (discovery to implementation). Essential elements of the curriculum are: (1) coursework providing students with the theory and practice of clinical and translational research; and (2) continued, longitudinal immersion in research through laboratory rotations (MSTP-CTSTP students), research practicum, and a research dissertation. The program will focus on enhancing skills to design and conduct research that is patient-oriented (conducted with humans or materials of human origin, for whom an investigator interacts with subjects, and which includes mechanisms of disease, therapeutic interventions, clinical trials, and the development of new technologies) and translational (applying discoveries generated through laboratory and preclinical studies to the development of trials and studies in humans, and conversely, applying novel observations in clinical settings about disease processes to new laboratory or basic investigations). The program faculty, representing diverse scientific and professional fields, is located at CWRU and several collaborating local medical centers: Cleveland Clinic, University Hospitals Case Medical Center, Metro Health Medical Center, and Louis Stokes Veterans Administration Medical Center.

More programs from the university

Although its origins date to 1826, the University in its present form is the result of the 1967 federation of Case Institute of Technology and Western Reserve University. The two institutions had shared adjacent campuses since the late nineteenth century, and were involved in cooperative efforts for many years. Today, Case Western Reserve's enrollment and resources, distributed among undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs that encompass the arts and sciences, dental medicine, engineering, law, management, medicine, nursing, and social work, achieve a balance that is distinctive among American universities. Case Western Reserve University is located in University Circle, a 550-acre, park-like concentration of approximately 50 cultural, medical, educational, religious, and social service institutions located at the eastern edge of the city center. University Circle attracts visitors from throughout the region and the world to its concerts, theater performances, athletic events, art shows, public lectures, exhibits, and restaurants. Housing, shopping, and recreational facilities are all located in the area.
