Research Master in Clinical Research

The Netherlands Institute for Health Sciences (NIHES) and a large variety of university departments with a known track record in clinical and translational research at Erasmus MC have developed a Research Master programme in Clinical Research.

This research master is directed at providing students with the skills essential to patient-oriented clinical research. Compared to other training programmes in clinical research, the Erasmus MC Research Master has a strong focus on epidemiologic methods and statistical analysis, to meet the changing needs of the current health care field, particularly the increasing need for trained professionals with well-developed quantitative and analytic skills. We are able to do so by building on a long and excellent tradition at Erasmus MC of clinical epidemiology, making using of our large population cohorts and a strong focus of our clinician-researchers to embrace epidemiological research methods, not only to understand the etiology of disease but also to prove the effectiveness of treatment.
