“There are so many skills that I have learned through the program that I utilize on a daily basis, both in a clinical and a research setting. With the program, my ability to critically analyze the literature in my field has been maximized, which directly benefits the patients I care for. In a research setting, I know the details and intricacies involved in conducting research from design to statistical analysis to writing the manuscript, all of which were covered in the program .”

My peers included MDs, PhDs, PharmDs, nurses, clinical research coordinators, bench scientists and local biotech industry experts, to name a few. In every single class, I was learning very effective communication skills simply by attending and interacting with my peers.”
