Training
The Vocabulary of Clinical and Translational Science
Sponsored by the Research Education, Training and Career Development component of the UAB Center for Clinical and Translational Science (CCTS), the Vocabulary of Clinical and Translational Science is a two-week course designed to: (1) help attendees understand clinical and translational science in a way that better prepares them to read and interpret the medical literature through their understanding of types of research design, conduct, analysis, and interpretation; (2) prepare attendees to make informed decisions regarding whether or not to pursue clinical and translational science as part of their career path; and (3) provide a foundation for further clinical training for participants in UAB’s Clinical and Translational Science Training Program.
This course is mandatory for all School of Medicine Fellows who are beginning their fellowships in July of this year and are enrolled in fellowships of more than one year’s duration. For fellows who have completed training programs with similar content in the past, requests to opt out must be made in writing to Dr. Edward Hook at ehook@uab.edu.
The course will be held Monday-Friday, September 14-25, 2009 from 4-6pm in Finley Conference Center, located on the balcony of the Hugh Kaul Human Genetics Building.
