Education & Training

Innovative transformational discoveries that will yield eventual improvements in patient care and overall health require a well-trained multidisciplinary workforce with access to high-quality professional development. SCTR’s Workforce Development program serves to create, centralize, and disseminate educational opportunities across the spectrum of clinical and translational research team members, including staff, students, trainees, faculty, and community partners. Together with research offices and colleges at MUSC, SCTR encourages career development through predoctoral and mentored training programs, educational courses, innovative learning opportunities, and informative workshops to support those who currently work in research and to grow South Carolina’s Clinical and Translational Research workforce.
