Medical Clinical Sciences/Graduate Medical Studies

Designed for working professionals, this graduate credential strengthens the ability to plan and carry out research that moves findings from laboratory to patient. It serves doctors, nurses, research assistants and other health workers. Participants gain competence in conducting studies, writing funding proposals, analyzing data and communicating outcomes. The requirement is twelve credit hours: three core courses, starting with a survey of translational science, then research design and measurement, plus electives that include statistics offerings such as data analysis and multivariate methods. Meetings take place once weekly in the evening at Clemson's Greenville center. The fall application cutoff is August 1, and employees of Prisma Health can pursue tuition assistance via a dedicated application process. Prospective students should review the official program pages for current details before applying.
