PROGRAM DIRECTOR
CREST / MAS Program Objectives
Provide training in the methods and techniques of clinical research including patient oriented research, epidemiology and outcomes research;
Develop an institutional environment for improved interaction of trainees with established clinical investigators to foster mentoring and career development;
Provide a Masters degree program in Clinical Research in collaboration with UCSD Division of Extended Studies
CREST Program Design: Broad based curriculum in clinical research methodology Can be completed in 1-3
years; Comprised of eight modules
which are: given over one academic
quarter each, comprised of 10, two-
hour, weekly periods of instruction in the early evening (4-6)
a combination of lectures, group discussions, papers and computer-based training.
Integrates didactic information with practical training
Accommodates students’ varying needs by using a modular approach to instruction, a part-time year-round schedule, and a flexible approach to self-directed learning
Facilitates interaction among program participants and experienced investigators
Links the academic, scientific, and practitioner communities
CREST is a non-credit ,grant-supported training program which provides the foundation “core” curriculum for the MAS-CR program (36 Units)
CREST/MAS Program Design: Courses
The MAS degree in Clinical Research consists of 36 quarter units
18 units of core (CREST) courses
4 units of professional development seminars
2 units of Mentorship and Career Planning module
4 units of advanced statistics 4 units of an independent
study project 4 units of electives
