Are you looking for a unique educational experience as you prepare for professional or graduate school?

The CCTS has 16 credit hours of coursework and many of these classes are already taken by science or pre-health professions students. These hours include URES:3001 which provides an introduction to Translational Research (offered in Fall) and URES:3002 which is a practicum in Clinical and Translational Science (offered in Spring). URES:3002 includes 12-14 hours of shadowing a clinician with which you are paired based on research and career interests. These 2 courses must be taken in sequence. Upon completion, the certificate is added to your transcript.

More information and a link to the application can be found at Undergraduate Certificate in Clinical and Translational Science | Institute for Clinical and Translational Science (uiowa.edu). If you have questions about the program, please contact jamie-thrams@uiowa.edu or donna-santillan@uiowa.edu.
