The School of Public Health Executive Masters (On-Job/On-Campus: OJOC) provides practicing clinicians a convenient way to learn research design and statistical analysis at an advanced level. Classes are concentrated over a four-day weekend every month for 18 months. This schedule allows participating clinicians and junior faculty to conduct clinical and research activities concurrently.
The Executive Masters program includes a specialized curriculum that trains healthcare professionals in clinical research and leads to a Master of Science degree in Clinical Research Design and Statistical Analysis from the Rackham School of Graduate Studies. The Executive Masters and MICHR co-sponsor this 18 month Masters degree program under the umbrella of the U-M Clinical Translational Science Awards (CTSA).
Postdoctoral fellows in clinical departments, University of Michigan junior faculty, and mid-career health care professionals interested in initiating careers in clinical research are encouraged to apply. Doctorally-prepared nurses, PhDs with clinical responsibility, postdoctoral Pharm-D trainees, and trainees with MD, DO, or DDS degrees who are engaged in clinical duties are able to obtain their masters degree while still working full-time. Candidates must obtain 40% protected time from their department chair and display clear potential for academic success.
