This certificate is designed to provide training in skills related to the conducting of clinical trials, biostatistics, design, epidemiology, and trial management. Prospective students may range from practicing clinicians seeking to improve their quantitative skills in order to conduct studies, to bachelor level research assistants in academia or industry seeking to upgrade their knowledge regarding the underlying scientific basis of their current or prospective jobs. This certificate is available on both the Newark and Piscataway/New Brunswick Campuses. Please see the department of Quantitative Methods: Biostatistics and Epidemiology and the department of Epidemiology for course descriptions.
