Drexel’s non-thesis Clinical Research for Health Professionals (CRHP) program is a Master’s of Science degree for health professionals interested in pursuing advanced careers in the conduct of translational, pharmaceutical and biotech research. The CRHP curriculum is designed to prepare researchers with an understanding of the scientific, ethical, and regulatory aspects of clinical research. In addition to online activity, participants will earn real-world clinical studies experience through mentored research projects.

Drexel’s MS in Clinical Research is a better online graduate degree created by Drexel University’s on-campus faculty. 

The MS in Clinical Research for Health Professions is a unique programfor residents, fellows and young clinicians to advance their knowledge of conducting translational/pharmaceutical research while developing their clinical careers. The program is also available to other clinical health professionals such as nurses (with a minimum of a Bachelor’s degree required), audiologists, and others. This degree should serve to help these individuals advance their professional opportunities.

Online course work coupled with supervised research activities will allow health care professionals in academic hospitalsor other settings throughout the US to receive an MS degree from the Drexel University College of Medicine (DUCoM).
