Predoctoral Goals

Upon successful completion of the MTR program graduates are expected to have developed a strong foundation in the fundamental techniques of translational Research. They should be able to apply contemporary research tools to clinically relevant areas of investigation. The MTR program will produce clinical researchers who are competitive in seeking research support and who are knowledgeable about the complex issues associated with conducting sound clinical research. The MTR program will also assist in the promotion of translational research within the PENN community.
