ABOUT UKCSRT-Paediatrics

UKCSRT-Paediatrics is a collaboration between the Harvard Medical School Office of Global Education, University College London (UCL) and Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH). This unique and innovative program draws on the expertise of all three partner institutions, combining excellence in delivery of medical education with world-class expertise in child health.

UKCSRT-Paediatrics is an optional concentration for those enrolled in the UKCSRT program who have a specific interest in paediatric research. The UKCSRT-Paediatrics track will provide additional workshop sessions and paediatric-focused coursework to develop core skills related to paediatric clinical research. Our goal is to ensure that future generations of child health researchers and practitioners are furnished with the knowledge and competencies to produce and interpret high quality clinical research.
