The UTHSC Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI) is an interdisciplinary center of excellence with a mission to conduct research that translates scientific discoveries into clinical applications, to educate a cadre of professionals in all aspects of translational and clinical science, and to serve as a local, regional, state and national resource for advancing scientific discoveries from bench to bedside to practice. The CTSI is designed to provide outstanding support for all levels of translational and clinical research in an environment that promotes interdisciplinary communication and teamwork, encourages and rewards novel and innovative approaches to research, facilitates sharing of methods and results, and is responsive to the needs of our partners, affiliates, and our community. The creation of a "home" for clinical and translational research centered at UTHSC provides an opportunity for investigators and stakeholders alike to participate in structured and well-supported interdisciplinary research programs to enhance the quality and efficiency of medical discovery and its applications.

The UTHSC Clinical and Translational Research Institute (CTSI) is calling for applicants for entry into a dual doctoral degree program leading to a Ph.D. in Clinical Investigation. Two individuals will be selected to begin the Ph.D. program in Clinical Investigation in the 2008-2009 academic year. The CTSI will provide a stipend during the time the student is in the Clinical Investigation program and tuition for the courses taken for that degree. Applicants for the position must be enrolled as pre-doctoral students in any of the UTHSC colleges. Participants in this program will complete a translational research project and have a mentoring group that has both a clinical sciences and basic sciences mentor. Applicants who have completed a substantial portion of their clinical training (such as the 3rd year of medical school) are best suited for competition for the initial two positions. Students interested in applying for this program should contact the program director, Dr. Robert Wyatt ( rwyatt@utmem.edu or 287-5376) or get PDF application here.
