ABOUT CLINICAL RESEARCH PATHWAYS

Our goal is to expand the pipeline of translational researchers by exposing an audience of early-stage students to clinical research by:

• Engaging with STEM high school students by introducing students and school staff to clinical research topics via educational programming and through job shadowing.

• CTR career path materials, job shadowing and internship processes have been piloted with several local associate degree college campuses. We target allied health degree students and aim to regularly present clinical research career options to students who might not otherwise be aware of the research career track.

• We run a “CTS Roadshow” program that introduces trainees at the high school or undergraduate level to careers in clinical and translational research. Presentation teams include both PI and CRP roles. If you teach a class with students who may be interested in clinical research, or if you would like to serve as a Roadshow presenter, email Anna Johns.
