Overview

The Clinical Research Design and Statistical Analysis programme is designed to improve the quality of clinical research and to address the shortage of persons with clinical expertise who are trained in quantitative research methods.

These problems reflect the increasing complexity of clinical research, the increasing value of that clinical research, and the limited training of health professionals in research design and statistical analysis.

Key Facts:

The University of Michigan School of Public Health pioneered the non-residential OJ/OC format in 1972. Approximately 300 students have successfully completed the CRDSA programme since then. Participants meet in Ann Arbor at the School of Public Health for a four-day weekend (Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday) once every four to five weeks for thirty hours of class time.

Between weekends on campus, participants complete course assignments and work on projects while remaining on their jobs. This Master of Science Degree Programme lasts nineteen weekends.
