Our innovative approach to learning incorporates traditional teaching methods with novel approaches to pedagogy. The core curriculum is specifically designed to ensure the seamless integration of core learning objectives across modules while allowing students to simultaneously master the practical skills that accompany these important concepts. With teamwork and collaboration being critical ingredients in scientific discovery, this program provides the needed skills, team-work experience and unparalleled teaching in leadership and management skills as they relate to clinical research. The Master of Medical Sciences in Clinical Investigation curriculum uses interactive classrooms, case-based learning, group projects, real-world lab experience and a mentored clinical research project specifically designed to enable students to: Master core topics in patient-oriented research, Apply new knowledge to real-life examples, Develop and execute his or her own research proposal and Impart their findings to the scientific community.<br>This track is co-led by Harvard Medical School faculty Rosalyn Adam and Martina McGrath, who both have extensive experience in bench and translational research. The Translational Investigation track aims to fill an unmet need in providing training for individuals pursuing a career in basic and/or translational research (i.e., in the T0 to T2 spectrum of translational investigation). Incorporating the translational track within the MMSCI program is consistent with the overall goal to train future global leaders in clinical and translational research. Bringing together students and faculty interested in clinical and translational investigation will ensure diversity of experience, skills and ideas, while promoting collaboration across the spectrum of clinical and translational research.<br><br>This program will commence remotely with introductory courses in summer 2020. Following Harvard Medical School guidance, live online classes will continue throughout the fall. Our current plan is to resume campus-based classes by January if possible.
