phenomena) that requires direct interactions with human subjects. Patient-oriented
research includes study of the disease, therapeutic interventions, and clinical
trials. For updated information about the K30 award,

Predoctoral
Interdisciplinary Clinical Research Training Program (PICRT)
The Predoctoral Interdisciplinary Clinical Research Training Program provides career development for medical and allied healthcare students through didactic coursework, mentored training, work-in-progress research discussions and journal clubs and conferences.
In September 2007, Washington University School of Medicine (WUSM) received a five-year, Clinical and Translational Science Award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) . One aim of this award is to promote clinical research training among predoctoral allied healthcare students, create an efficient entry for interested students into a variety of clinical research careers and allow flexibility to develop novel and unique programs.
To this end, Washington University
is offering the Predoctoral Interdisciplinary Clinical Research Training (PICRT)
Program to students in medicine, physical therapy, occupational therapy, biomedical
engineering, social work, pharmacy, and audiology and communication sciences,
who wish to pursue academic careers in clinical research.
