Graduate Certificate in Clinical Research
Graduate Certificate in Clinical Research Flyer
The Graduate Certificate in Clinical Research (GCERT-CR) is ideal for gap-year students, medical trainees, physicians, nurses, allied health professionals, and other health professionals with an interest in developing their skills for collaborative research. Students will gain knowledge of clinical research and trial design, clinical research protocol development, ethical conduct of clinical research, and the skill of statistical data analysis.
The GCERT-CR is a fully online program, which accommodates the needs and time constraints of the busy professional learners.
Students will be able to complete the required courses at their own pace if enrolled part-time or within 2 semesters if enrolled full-time. The Graduate Certificate in Clinical Research enrolls for the Fall semester only. Courses will be offered online and dual- listed under the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa Outreach College. Through the Outreach College, students have the flexibility to take individual courses without enrolling into a graduate degree program right away.
Credits earned through the GCERT-CR can be transferred to the Master of Science in Quantitative Health and Clinical Research if a student opts to pursue a MS degree.
Certificate Admissions Eligibility
Applicants need to possess a bachelor’s degree from an accredited U.S. college or university, or an equivalent degree from a recognized non-U.S. institution of higher education. Undergraduate-level course requirements include at least one semester of biology and one semester of algebra.
