| Program Overview |
| |
|
Clinical research is the study of methods used to investigate
clinical problems in medicine. The Department of Complementary
and Alternative Medicine at the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa (UHM) offers a graduate program leading to the MS in biomedical
sciences, with an emphasis on clinical research. Available
in Plan A (thesis), the program requires a combination of
course work and original research, the latter forming the
basis of the master's thesis.
Students enrolled in the program acquire skills in biostatistics
and epidemiology, and master the scientific principles that
underlie clinical research methods. They develop the ability
to identify and resolve ethical issues in clinical research,
to ensure the safeguarding of human subjects, and to understand
the workings of Institutional Review Boards and other relevant
requirements. In addition, students increase their capacity
in obtaining research funding from agencies such as the National
Institute of Health.
In addition to offering knowledge and skills needed for careers
in clinical research, the program functions as a supportive
mechanism for newly trained investigators, actively facilitating
career development and encouraging research collaborations,
particularly those related to research on health disparities.
By providing high quality training to doctoral and post-doctoral
candidates, the program aims to increase the mass of clinical
researchers at UHM, including minority investigators. Targeting
junior faculty, fellows, residents, and doctoral candidates
from biomedical sciences, nursing, social work, psychology
and public health, the interdisciplinary nature of the program
broadens students' perspectives and increases opportunities
for innovative, cross-disciplinary collaborations in clinical
research.
Graduates of the program pursue teaching careers in academia;
as well as research careers in academia, government laboratories,
and pharmaceutical companies. In addition, some graduates
find employment in hospitals or private businesses.
