Doctoral students in engineering, nursing, veterinary medicine, and other disciplines can declare a focus in Clinical and Translational Science by earning the doctoral minor in Clinical Investigation to learn about applications of research to clinical disciplines.  The minor provides students with foundational training in interdisciplinary clinical research, while emphasizing a scientific area of graduate study.

Students should be aware that:

• No course that counts for the major can also count for the minor. The point of the minor focus is to add breadth to the student's coursework.

Important Note:  For students who are funded by the TL1 Predoctoral Training Program, the minor requires additional training as described on the TL1 website.
