Clinical and Translational Science
http://med.uvm.edu/clinical_translational_sciences/
Overview
Clinical and Translational Science (CTS) is a framework that helps us understand and develop new approaches to improving human health by linking basic biology, clinical medicine and community health. CTS students learn to design, execute and report studies of how biologic and non-biologic aspects of health care interact to influence individuals and populations. The programs provide individuals with diverse backgrounds the opportunity to work with faculty from many disciplines and offer an Educational and Career Development Program to prepare them for roles as important and productive contributors to CTS.
