The Multidisciplinary Predoctoral Clinical Research Training Program(TL1) provides core curriculum and interdisciplinary clinical and translational research experience to predoctoral students in the health professions.  This program is a key component of the Research Education and Career Development Core of the Institute for Translational Health Sciences (ITHS). The summer and full predoctoral programs are formal programs in a continuum of clinical and translational research career development and training sponsored by the ITHS.

The summer program and the certificate-degree options for clinical and translational research training for predoctoral health professions students build on core clinical research didactic content already integrated into required curricula of predoctoral programs in Dentistry, Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy, Public Health (epidemiology and health services), Rehabilitation Science, and Social Work).  These programs are part of the National Institutes of Health initiatives to create the interdisciplinary clinical and translational research workforce of the future – clinically trained scientists capable of integrating basic and clinical sciences and scientifically trained clinicians capable of integrating evidence into clinical practice.
 
Trainees who participate in the summer or certificate-degree options of the TL1 Multidisciplinary Clinical Research Training Program will learn in an environment for peer interaction through program seminars, work-in-progress sessions, participation in Health Science wide colloquia, and informal gatherings; learning and mentoring relationships between predoctoral trainees and postdoctoral career development scholars, and experienced researchers with interdisciplinary team expertise.
