The 2024-2025 class of Harvard Medical School\u2019s Clinical Scholars Research Training program at Semmelweis University launched on July 15 with a four-day workshop in Budapest. It will culminate in Boston, Massachusetts next spring. 72 participants from nine countries joined the nine-month blended learning program to build their clinical research capabilities. The program includes sessions led by faculty from Harvard Medical School and Semmelweis University, as well as additional experts in the field. This postgraduate clinical research program is being offered during three consecutive academic years from 2023 to 2026.<\/div>\n

Designed for clinicians and clinician-scientists, the program\u2019s curriculum covers topics including biostatistics, epidemiology, biostatistical computing, applied regression, survival analysis, clinical trials, ethics in research, teamwork, and leadership. Seminars on education research and translational research, and electives on cost-effectiveness and decision-making in healthcare are additional examples of topics covered in the program.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The program is anchored by three (two in-person and one online) workshops and is supplemented by two live virtual class sessions, with assessments based on midterm and final exams, formative quizzes, assignments, and a capstone project.<\/p>\n

Compared to last year\u2019s cohort of 57 students, the 2024-2025 program has seen an increase in the number of participants: 72 students have been accepted from Bulgaria, China, the Czech Republic, Greece, Hungary, Latvia, Romania, Serbia, and Turkey, 42 of whom are affiliated with Semmelweis University. Half of the participants have already specialized in a field and four-fifths of them have experience in conducting clinical research.<\/p>\n\r\n [slb_exclude]\r\n

Following brief welcomes by Program Directors Dr. Krisztina Fischer, a research scientist in the Department of Radiology at Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital, Assistant Professor of Radiology and Faculty Director of Harvard Medical School\u2019s Master of Medical Sciences in Medical Education degree program; and Dr. David Wypij, Associate Professor of Pediatrics at Harvard Medical School and Director of the Statistics and Data Coordinating Center in the Department of Cardiology at Boston Children\u2019s Hospital, after the introduction of faculty and team members behind the program, Dr. Ajay Singh, Senior Associate Dean for Postgraduate Medical Education at Harvard Medical School gave an overview of the CSS program.<\/p>\n

\n

The program helps prepare participants to write research proposals and scientific papers, to increase publishing activity. It also helps them become more proficient in statistics and it facilitates the development of soft skills in areas like teamwork and leadership. Through the program, participants gain a peer network of international clinical researchers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

In his opening address, Rector Dr. B\u00e9la Merkely referenced the late Edward Teller, an atomic physicist; the late Georg von B\u00e9k\u00e9sy, a biophysicist who won a Nobel Prize in 1961; and Katalin Karik\u00f3, a biochemist and researcher, best known for her contributions to mRNA technology and the COVID-19 vaccines, as a few examples of renowned Hungarian-born scientists whose work have had global impact.<\/p>\n

\n

This program provides participants with a solid body of knowledge that can set the foundations for their future, so the knowledge they acquire here will serve them well throughout their clinical careers. With the support of experts and teaching on the latest methods, you, dear admitted students, are ready to not only open the doors of science even wider but also have the courage and the knowledge to enter them. \u2013 Dr. B\u00e9la Merkely<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cI can only encourage you to remember your oath and use your acquired knowledge to advance science, to heal the sick and those in need, and to promote health \u2013 at all times and in all circumstances,\u201d Dr. B\u00e9la Merkely concluded.<\/p>\n
