The Education component unifies community partners, graduate/ medical
students, and junior faculty across all colleges to access the CCTR's
educational resources. Successful UAMS educational programs have outstanding
leadership in several areas/disciplines. The PhD, MS, and graduate certificate in clinical and translational
sciences are tracks in the Interdisciplinary Biomedical Sciences program,
with 60 faculty from every UAMS college. Faculty from the UAMS Colleges of
Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy, and Public Health and the Graduate School
convened to establish and implement new certificate and degree programs in
clinical and translational science.
Pathfinder Committee members are key UAMS faculty members who are top leaders
and among the most active researchers. The Pathfinder Committee is committed to
ensuring that all trainees, regardless of level (MS, PhD, MD), consistently
receive outstanding mentorship and guidance. Pathfinders help develop and train
clinical/translational research scientists while strengthening, expanding, and
developing clinical and translational science programs.
