CTSI Programs
Basic & Translational Science
The Basic and Translational Science Program (BTS) is a supplemental degree concentration if you wish to carry out highly translational research that narrows the gap between current and basic science knowledge and clinical practice. Students participate in community and clinical shadowing experiences, interact with physicians and patients, and communicate about their research to diversely trained audiences. Educational opportunities are available in clinical trials, implementation science, community engagement, team science, grant writing, advocacy, and precision medicine. Acceptance into the BTS program occurs in the second year of Graduate School. All participants must first be admitted into a degree-granting program at the 皇家华人.
