Approximately 130 applicants have been admitted to Harvard Medical School’s (HMS) Clinical Science Scholars Program at Semmelweis University to date, which has been offered for three consecutive academic years from 2023 to 2026. The last iteration of this clinical research-focused program will launch in the summer of 2025, welcoming applications from early-career clinicians, PhD students, postdoctoral fellows, and residents with extended deadline until May 19, 2025.<\/div>\n

Participants will explore the latest advancements and best practices in clinical research, broadening their knowledge of research methodology, so that by the end of the nine-month training they can be confident in designing and performing clinical research, analyzing and interpreting research data, as well as master the know-how and how-tos of successful grant proposals and leading clinical teams.<\/p>\n

Participants of Harvard Medical School\u2019s Clinical Science Scholars Program at Semmelweis University will also develop a research proposal in the framework of a capstone project, with the top ten submissions being presented in a webinar and the top three at the final workshop.<\/p>\n

Dr. Zs\u00f3fia Drobni is a resident at the Department of Cardiology and completed the program in the first academic year 2023-2024. \u201cI applied for the training to further my knowledge and gain new methodological skills that would be useful in my research and clinical work. I particularly appreciated the practical approach to the training. I found the capstone project to be the most useful, where I had to develop and write a research plan and prepare an abstract, very similar to the one required for a National Institute of Health grant proposal. My topic was a randomized trial to investigate whether we can improve CT image quality in patients with atrial fibrillation when performing coronary CT by giving beta-blockers to reduce the heart rate. We received regular feedback from faculty throughout the project, so I was constantly able to fine-tune my work. I usually went over the videos and materials in the evenings and on weekends. The assessments were not that difficult but rather helped us to keep on track and not fall behind. The program met my expectations to the fullest; a great community formed during the training and I feel that these professional relationships will last in the long run.\u201d<\/p>\n

Three workshops \u2013 one in Budapest, one online, and one in Boston \u2013 form the backbone of the program. The curriculum is structured in five modules: epidemiology, research ethics, biostatistics, clinical trials, and leadership\/teamwork.\u00a0<\/p>\n
