Course Information
Description
This course provides students with valuable real-world experience doing research in Boston's premier biomedical institutions. Students are mentored by a member of the program faculty or other affiliated quantitative scientist working in clinical and epidemiological research projects at HSPH, Harvard University, or Harvard-affiliated hospitals.
The Collaborative Research Thesis will normally be undertaken during the fourth (spring) semester, after coursework has been completed. It will be presented in both oral and written form before a committee consisting of the thesis advisor and two additional program faculty. Students with a more extensive background may be permitted to undertake their thesis research during the summer following their second semester, and complete the entire program in as little as 16 months.
Students in the program must complete a 10-20 credit thesis, and so could register for this course possibly 2 to 4 times to achieve the total number of credits. Only students in this program are eligible to register for this course.
