Master's in Clinical Research Training Program

[Guest guest]

Master's Degree in Clinical Research Training Program (CRTP)

sponsored by the AITRP at AECOM

There is an increasing need for clinical research on AIDS in India.

This is both due to the highly needed epidemiological and other AIDS

studies as well as to many anti-HIV drug and vaccine trials currently

being planned for India. Therefore, we, the AIDS International

Training and Research Program (AITRP) at the Albert Einstein College

of Medicine (AECOM) wish to help promote clinical training in this

critical area. The admission to the CRTP at Albert Einstein is

competitive, but if the candidate that the AITRP will sponsor is

successful in obtaining admission, up to two candidates each year

will be funded by the AIDS International Training Research Program

(AITRP) of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine (AECOM).

We invite highly qualified candidates in India who may be interested

in applying for admission to the Master's degree in Clinical Research

Training Program (CRTP) of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine.

Eligibility requirements:

1. A basic medical degree. MBBS or equivalent.

2. A strong aptitude for Clinical AIDS Research documented by

attendance in conferences, workshops or other relevant training.

3. Prior AIDS research experience as evidenced by publications in

Clinical AIDS Research.

4. The candidate should demonstrate strong desire to return to

India. Ideal candidates are those who hold positions in an

organization that is currently performing or is involved in AIDS

clinical research. Situations where the candidate does not currently

have such a position, but is likely to be appointed to such a

position will also be acceptable - provided documented evidence is

provided.

5. Epidemiological studies in which the data was or will be

collected in India, but the analysis is done during the 2-year CRTP

course here are ideally suited for this program. However, projects

involving bench research are not excluded.
