The CCTS Clinical and Translational Science Training Program (CTSTP) kicked off last week with a record-breaking number of participants. Not only is this the largest cohort in the CTSTP’s history, but it also includes the highest number of virtual trainees (17) from Partner institutions (Auburn, PBRC, UA, USA). A record number of disciplines are likewise represented, including Nursing, OB/Gyn, Pediatrics, Hematology/Oncology, Psychiatry, Dentistry, Neurology, Radiation Oncology, Biomedical Sciences, Pharmacy, Nutrition Sciences, Neurosurgery, Physical Activity/Epidemiology, Community Mental Health, Cardiovascular Disease, Kinesiology, Veterinary Medicine, Surgical Oncology, Immunology/Rheumatology, Infectious Diseases, Urogynecology & Pelvic Reconstruction Surgery, and Transplantation. 

Our annual career-changing training opportunity provides trainees with more than 50 hours of didactic and interactive instruction in clinical and translational science competencies. Sessions take place at 8am-10am on Wednesdays from January to June and feature experienced clinical and translational researchers as well as individuals with special expertise in areas such as grant writing and clinical trial regulations.
