CRTP coursework develops the quantitative, methodological, ethical, and operational knowledge needed to conduct rigorous clinical and translational research. Learners select a Degree, Certificate, or Nondegree pathway based on eligibility and professional goals.
Format
CRTP is a part-time program designed for professionals who continue their clinical, laboratory, or professional responsibilities while enrolled.
Live Online Learning
All courses are delivered online in a live, synchronous format via Zoom. Class sessions are recorded and available for later review, but recordings do not replace required attendance. Real-time participation supports discussion, collaborative learning, and engagement with faculty and peers.
Attendance Expectations
Learners are expected to attend scheduled class sessions and meet course-specific participation requirements. Course directors communicate attendance expectations in each syllabus. Requests for excused absences should be made in writing as early as possible, and learners are responsible for completing required make-up work.
Academic Credit
All learners register for academic credit and are held to the same academic and participation standards. CRTP does not permit course auditing.
