Scholars in Health Research Program (SHARP)
The scholars in health research program (SHARP) is a joint FM and FHS graduate program that consists of a 12-credit summer diploma, a 12-credit two-term diploma, as well as a 35-credit master’s degree. Each option includes a mix of didactic training based on select core courses with implementation of a hands-on research practicum, training or thesis project. The program provides graduates with the required foundation to pursue a career in clinical and translational research.
SHARP’s curriculum is modeled on similar programs in top-tier academic institutions in the US. It is the first of its kind in the region and has been polished by expert faculty over a decade since program launch. Synchronous and asynchronous sessions, VOPs, tutorials, hands-on applications and lab sessions provide an unprecedented enriching experience.
