MD-PhD Core CTS Curriculum Courses
As a reflection of the paradigm of Clinical Translational Science (CTS), adopted as the organizing principle for the training of our MD-PhD scholars, the following Clinical Translational Science (CTS) core curriculum has been introduced as required coursework beginning Fall 2009. Below is a listing of the courses and the suggested time period that they are to be taken, although individual trainee course requirements within their graduate programs may dictate the actual scheduling of courses.
• MS1 Practicum (Details will be posted later in Fall 2009)
• GMS 7039 Introduction to Clinical Translational Research
Taken during the Summer between 1st and 2nd year of Medical School
• GMS 7003 Responsible Conduct of Biomedical Research (RCR))
Taken during the Spring of the 1st year of graduate work
• GMS 6931 Ethical, Regulatory and Practical Conduct of Research
Taken during the Spring of the 1st year of graduate work
• GMS 5905 Biomedical Grant Writing

MD-PhD Advanced Curriculum
The number of additional courses required will depend on which PhD program you are in. for example, in the College of Medicine, you must take at least six (6) credits of advanced coursework and a journal club course each Fall and Spring.
