Translational Research in the Health Sciences
Program Overview
The Translational Research Program (TRP) brings together a diverse range of students, mentors, and thought leaders – from researchers to clinicians to industry professionals and beyond. At the TRP, we learn from each other as we work together to solve real-world problems and advance health innovation. TRP classes are a rallying point for discussions and peer learning, while hands-on projects allow you to build your network and understanding. You’ll learn how to navigate ambiguity, find innovation gaps, develop novel approaches and interventions, advance quality improvement, and lead research mobilization and innovation in ways that improve medicine, health, and care for people and communities.
The TRP is a different kind of educational experience. You’ll learn through guidance, mentorship, feedback, and support rather than lecturing and exams. With customizable coursework options and a Capstone Research Project, you focus on the skills and topics that match your goals. The TRP curriculum is designed to facilitate your personal growth and professional development, while building your competencies to drive impact and health innovation!
