This program is designed for medical students, fellows, health professionals, faculty members, and scientists who are involved in clinical research. The goal is to equip participants with the skills needed to translate discoveries in clinical, biomedical, and technological fields into advancements in population-based, clinical, or basic science research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n  \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div\n  class=\"cc--component-container cc--accordions \"\n\n  \n   aria-label=\"Content Accordions\"\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  >\n  <div class=\"c--component c--accordions\"\n    \n      >\n\n    \n  \n      <ul>\n              <li>\n          <button type=\"button\" class=\"accordion-trigger \" id=\"heading-1-1-SMpmTwsQZs\" aria-controls=\"section-1-1-SMpmTwsQZs\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-disabled=\"false\">\n                          <span class=\"item-title\">Curriculum at a Glance<\/span>\n            \n                      <\/button>\n\n          <div id=\"section-1-1-SMpmTwsQZs\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"heading-1-1-SMpmTwsQZs\" class=\"accordion-panel\">\n\n                            \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div\n  class=\"cc--component-container cc--rich-text \"\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  >\n  <div class=\"c--component c--rich-text\"\n    \n      >\n\n    \n  <div class=\"inner-wrapper\">\n        \n<div class=\"f--field f--wysiwyg\">\n\n    \n  <p>Graduation requires the completion of a minimum of 29 units, of which a minimum of 15 units are didactic course credits taken in the first year (including summer sessions).<\/p>\n<p>The remaining units are directed to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>PM 590\u00a0Directed Research (1\u201312 units )<\/li>\n<li>PM 594a Master\u2019s Thesis; PM 594b\u00a0Master\u2019s Thesis\u00a0(4 units) taken in the second year.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The equivalent of one year of full-time effort must be devoted to research leading to a master\u2019s thesis. The thesis provides a structure for the development of a plan to address a research problem and a suitable approach to the analysis and presentation of the results.<\/p>\n<p>Because the background and interests of applicants varies widely, one of the co-directors will consult with each student prior to the first year in order to design an individualized schedule of recommended courses, or this may be negotiated with a student\u2019s faculty sponsor. At the end of the first year, the trainee must submit a final program plan to the co-directors. This will summarize the courses taken, the proposed thesis title, and the names and credentials of the MS thesis committee. One of the members of the MS thesis committee will be the trainee\u2019s research adviser and will serve as the chair of the committee. At least one member of the thesis committee must be from outside the student\u2019s department. For faculty, at least two members of the thesis committee must be from outside the student\u2019s department.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/catalogue.usc.edu\/preview_program.php?catoid=20&amp;poid=29436&amp;returnto=8371\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"link-title\">USC Course Catalogue<\/span><\/a><i class=\"acf-icon -link-ext acf-js-tooltip\" title=\"Opens in a new window\/tab\"><\/i><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n            \n                      <\/div>\n        <\/li>\n\n          <\/ul>\n  \n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n  \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div\n  class=\"cc--component-container cc--quote \"\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  >\n  <div class=\"c--component c--quote\"\n    \n      >\n\n    \n      <div class=\"header-container\">\n\n                  \n<div class=\"f--field f--section-title\">\n\n    \n  <h2>\n          Program Director\n      <\/h2>\n\n\n<\/div>\n      \n          <\/div>\n  \n\n  <div class=\"quote-container\">\n\n    <div class=\"left\">\n\n      \n      \n              <div class=\"attribution\">\n          Roksana Karim, MD, PhD <br> Director <br> Email: <a href=\"mailto:rkarim@usc.edu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">rkarim@usc.edu <\/a> <br> Phone: <a href=\"tel:+13232265068\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">(323) 226-5068<\/a>\n\n        <\/div>\n      \n                  \n<div class=\"f--field f--link\">\n\n    \n    \n  \n<a\n  class=\"link \"\n  href=\"https:\/\/keck.usc.edu\/faculty-search\/roksana-karim\/\"\n    aria-label=\"Read&#x20;more&#x20;about&#x20;View&#x20;Profile\">\n    <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"20\" height=\"12\" viewBox=\"0 0 20 12\"><polygon points=\"14 0 20 6 19 7 19 7 19 7 14 12 13 10.9 16.9 7 0 7 0 5 17 5 13 1 14 0\" fill-rule=\"evenodd\" stroke-width=\"0\"\/><\/svg>    View Profile\n    <\/a>\n\n\n<\/div>\n      \n    <\/div>\n\n          <div class=\"image-container\">\n            \n<div class=\"f--field f--image\">\n\n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n              \n      <img\n                            data-src=\"https:\/\/keck.usc.edu\/clinical-translational-research-ms-program\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/89\/2025\/10\/Roksana_Karim-e1761758807556.jpg\"\n                    data-sizes=\"(min-width:1024px) 50vw, (min-width:768px) 100vw, 100vw\"          class=\"lazyload\"\n        \n        alt=\"smiling faculty member\"\n        \n                                      \/>\n\n    \n    \n  \n  \n\n<\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    \n  <\/div>\n\n\n\n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n  \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div\n  class=\"cc--component-container cc--contact-form-embed has-vertical-form \"\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  >\n  <div class=\"c--component c--contact-form-embed has-vertical-form\"\n    \n      >\n\n    \n      <div class=\"text-container\">\n                  \n<div class=\"f--field f--section-title\">\n\n    \n  <h2>\n          Learn More!\n      <\/h2>\n\n\n<\/div>\n                        \n<div class=\"f--field f--description description-large\">\n\n    \n  <p>Complete the form below for information on our graduate programs.
