Advance your research career with flexible, graduate-level training built for practicing physicians, clinician-scientists, and health professionals.
The Duke University School of Medicine program provides formal academic training in the quantitative and methodological principles of clinical research. Administered by the Department of Biostatistics and Bioinformatics, the Clinical Research Training Program (CRTP) is a part-time program designed for health professionals and trainees who wish to advance their research skills while continuing their clinical or professional responsibilities. All courses are delivered online in a live, synchronous format to support meaningful interaction with faculty and peers. While class sessions are recorded and made available for later review, real-time attendance is required to support active engagement, discussion, and participation.
Applications are open for Fall 2027!
