CLINICAL RESEARCH EDUCATION ACTIVITIES
One of my primary interests is the development and administration of training programs
for clinical investigators. These training opportunities recognize the importance of
sound research practices as the foundation for advancing treatment and prevention of
disease. I currently direct two training programs for clinical research. They are:
- The Clinical Research Methods (CRM) track (for more information, click

- The Patient Oriented Research (POR) track (for more information, click
