Prisma Health and Clemson University’s Department of Public Health Sciences are now offering a graduate-level certificate in Clinical and Translational Research. The goal of the program is to enhance clinical and translational research capabilities of clinicians, nurses, research support staff and other health professionals. The program will be delivered via evening classes for working professionals at Prisma Health.
A bachelor’s degree is a pre-requisite. This program has been approved for tuition support. Those currently in clinical or research roles take precedence. For consideration, apply via the Health Sciences Center Research Division. To earn this graduate certificate, students must complete eight required credit hours and an additional four hours of graduate-level elective courses.
Questions may be directed to Dr. Sarah Griffin, Clemson University.
