Master of Science in Clinical Research

In 2006, the Master of Science in Clinical Research (MS-CR) degree program graduated its first student.  Three MS students and six new non-degree students are participants in the K-30 fellowship as well.  MS-CR faculty collaborated with degree programs in Audiology, Nursing, Nurse Anesthesia, and Rehabilitation Sciences to create a new course, Introduction to Clinical Research.  This new course launched in Fall 2006 and will continue each fall, serving as an approved elective for MS-CR students.

MS-CR faculty served as student advisors and continued to participate in program governance.  Both committees (Admissions, Curriculum) and the Executive Council met at least twice in 2006.  MS-CR students participated in a variety of campus events and presented posters at local and regional health conferences, including the KUMC Student Research Forum and the Kansas Public Health Association conference.  Natalie Reed, an MS student with an emphasis in Epidemiology, won the KUMC Distinguished Service Award letter for service activities on campus and at the Kansas City Missouri Health Department.
